Barbara was preceded in passing by her parents, Arthur Nelson and Audrey Griffin Nelson; brother, Richard Nelson; and two miscarried infants.

Barbara was a devout Catholic and a parishioner of St. Eloi Catholic Church. She was passionate about her devotional time with the Lord. She had the absolute best sense of humor. She was a kind and gentle soul who enjoyed sewing, taking walks, traveling, the beach, fishing, going to the casino, going to the movies, painting, arts and crafts, spending personal time with Julius on the boat or on the road, and most of all, spending time with her family and friends, especially during the Christmas season. She spent most of her life taking care of others who could not care for themselves. She was a wonderful, loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She had a very giving heart and supported many charities. She will be greatly missed by all who have had the honor to know and love her.

Special thanks to her loving and devoted caregiver, Kimberly "Kim" Johnson.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.

Chauvin Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Barbara Voisin.
