Barbara was an amazing woman, described by those who loved her as bright, articulate, opinionated, obstinate and a real ball buster. She was an athlete, playing semi-pro softball as a young woman and later becoming an avid golfer. While working, Barb also coached basketball at Lindenhurst High School, leading the Lindy Bulldogs to many Local and State Championships. In her free time, Barbara enjoyed reading and watching mystery movies and playing golf, Barbara dedicated 35 years of her life to education, working as a teacher, dean, and guidance director. She worked at Longwood Schools, Lindenhurst Schools on Long Island, NY, and retired from Islip Schools in 1995. Her passion for education touched the lives of many with whom she has remained close.
Barbara is survived by her loving wife of 40 years, Meredith Wolf, and many nieces and nephews, including Rhonda and Jeff Hoag, Kerri and Adam Brush, Brendon Hoag; Billy and Tracey Cobey, Kaitlynn, Anthony, and Alexander; Dani Wall, Anderson Wall, Domenic Wall; Brad and Tracey Magie, Rory Magie, and Angelina Magie.
