Barbara Saunders was born on August 15, 1948, in Los Angeles, CA, to Robert and Frances Saunders.
Barbara's heart was as big as her sense of adventure. Barbara could be found tending her garden, trying out a new recipe, or wandering the outdoors with a fishing pole in hand. Barbara opened her home to the stray kitten or those in need.
Barbara worked for PG&E until she retired. Barbara was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She will be remembered for her colorful stories, sense of humor and the way she marched to the beat of her own drum.
Barbara passed away peacefully on July 16, 2026, at the age of 77. She is survived by her children, Russell, Christopher, Elizabeth and Sarah; eleven grandchildren; and one grandchild.
