Her brother Thomas Trzaskos predeceased her. Oliver, her dachshund and constant companion, will also be missing her. Barb had many interests in life; in fact life itself was her life's interest. She made friends instantly and for life. She and her husband loved road trips and traveled across the country at least three times. In earlier years Barb painted, did needlepoint and other crafts. In later years she took up genealogy and researched her family locating lost relatives and new internet friends. Her family and pets were always her prime interest. They will all miss her. Family and friends may call on Tuesday January 31st from 5-7 p.m. at the Rose Hill Funeral Home, 580 ElmStreet, Rocky Hill, CT. A graveside service will be held Wednesday at 11am at Rose Hill. A memorial service in Bloomington IL will be held at a later date. While Barbara loved flowers, it is requested a donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis TN be considered.
