The Warners relocated to Ashburn in July 2003 to be close to their only child, Robin, and son-in-law, Patrick Mooney, of South Riding, VA. Barbara greatly enjoyed her friends and neighbors in the neighborhood of Inverrary at Belmont Country Club.
Barbara also leaves a brother and sister-in-law to cherish her memory, Jack and Cindy Hansen of Red Bluff, CA. She also leaves a beloved friend for over 55 years, Jill Goodman of San Mateo, CA.
