She was a longtime resident of Haddonfield, NJ and married for 55 years to the love of her life, the late Dr. Francis Barse. Together they were heavily involved in charity contributions for various non-profit organizations. She graduated from Hahnemann Hospital Nursing School in 1954.

She leaves behind her daughters, Joanne Ruane and Maria Kinder; grandchildren, Rachel Forman, Melanie Ruane, and Justin Perkins; great-grandchild, Maverick Francis Forman; nieces, Ellie Ball and Nina Edalatpour; and nephew, Tim Gilroy.
