Plumb Hume, she graduated from Pittsfield High School in 1947. Barbara worked as a secretary for General Electric Plastics, from where she retired in 1991 after dedicating many years of service. Barbara was always an active participant of society. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Pittsfield where, over the years, she served on nearly every board and committee. She taught Church School and served as their staff secretary, assistant collector, and assistant clerk. While Barbara kept busy in her community, her family was of utmost importance to her.
