Barbara is survived by her husband, Joe (Sr.) and her stepson, Joe DiGangi (Jr) and his wife, Sue and their family (3 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren).
She was a loving “MeeMaw” who always enjoyed going on “DiGangi Adventures!”. Always smiling, she loved her grandkids, and they loved her Snoopy waffles! She enjoyed cooking, traveling, taking pictures, and her dogs Heidi and Buffy. She was involved with the local Veterans of Foreign Wars chapter as well as the local Volunteer Fire Department in Pottsboro. Barbara was a warm and caring person to all who met her.
She and Joe were inseparable, and he misses her terribly. She will be remembered lovingly by all the lives she touched. She died peacefully in the hospital on Jan 3, 2021.
