Barb graduated from Mount Pleasant High School, Providence R.I. in 1959.
She was a dedicated daughter, wife and mother, and she worked many years at the offices of surgeon Dr. Frank Detorie in Cumberland, RI.
Barb was a gourmet cook, and holiday celebrations at her house were truly special events. Barb adored her grandchildren and was so proud of them and all of their accomplishments. She passed on to them, as well as to her children, her love and talent for cooking delicious meals, especially Italian.
Barb’s family would like to thank her dedicated caregivers at Woonsocket Health Center for their kind and professional work assisting Barb in the last days of her life. An interment service for Barbara and David Garrigan will take place in April, 2024 at a time to be announced, followed by a celebration of life gathering in Rhode Island.
