  1. Aunt Barb was so kind and gracious to us. She had us stay with her years ago when visiting. We so enjoyed her stories, laughter and her loving kindness. We will miss her. May all her loved ones find the Love and Peace that the good Lord above wants you to know.

  2. It has been a great privilege to call Mrs. Indivino my friend the last few years. She was funny, caring, and always insightful. I will miss hearing her stories, going for rides, playing “the game”, as well as our little cooking lessons. She was a classy lady who made the best out of everything. May god comfort all those who mourn her loss, and know that her faith was strong.

  3. God bless you Barb. You’re no longer in pain and at peace with The Lord! RIP.

    George Gleason.

  4. i miss you mommy. i know you will continue to guide me when i reach out to you. you are at peace and with your beloved mother. i know one day we will be reunited again in the kingdom of god.

  5. I will always remember Mrs Indivino’s quick wit and ready laugh. For more than 40 years, she raised her three children on her own after losing her, “Major.” At last she joins him, replete with her accomplishments. God bless this family.

  6. Aunt Barb was so sweet to us whenever we could see her. We’re going to miss her a lot.

  7. What a strong woman Aunt Barb was with just the right amount of spunk and sass lol. I loved her attitude, her stories, her laugh. She was always so very kind to me. I’m so thankful I got to visit with her in the days before she passed. I will cherish her memory

  8. Goodbye my beautiful friend. You loved life, your family and friends. You had an adventurous spirit for traveling and always had a story to tell whether it was from visiting Europe, traveling the country with your husband and kids or your trips to Atlantic City, NYC and Las Vegas with your friends. I’ll always remember our drives looking at the fall leaves around town, or visiting the places of your youth. Your memory was unlike no other and your love of sharing stories about your life growing up during the depression kept many of us in awe. Never missing an episode of “Jeopardy” and amazing us with your vast knowledge and sharp memory – even into your 90’s. You loved to laugh always, have friends over and somehow always ended up getting everyone to join in a game of “Rummikub”. Finally, always reminding us that even when life gets rough (like losing your husband when you were young), you always make the best of what you have and keep going. Goodbye, my beautiful friend. ❤️

  9. To the Indivino family, I would like to express my Deepest Sympathy’s for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family.
    Sincerely,
    Julia Fried (team mate and friend of Barbs for about 14 years)

  11. Cousin Barbara. Warmed my heart with her cheerful spirit. Especially as a little child after the death of my mother. She loved well and was well loved. Her spirit will remain in the hearts of all who she cared for. May the grace of God bring her friends and family peace and comfort.
