Obituary of Barbara A. Sims

Barbara ( Carpenter) Howard Sims

Dec. 1, 1932 - Jan. 18, 2021

Barbara Sims passed away peacefully at home of pulmonary disease. She was cared for by her son and daughter-in-law and was enjoying her precious grandchild, her pup and kitty, and her vast social network of children, sister-in-laws, nieces, nephews, friends, grandchildren and great grandchildren to the very end.

Family was so important to her as she relished re-telling family stories, connecting through email and calls and reminding everyone in her orbit that they were loved, cared for and very special. Barbara was the mother of Ross, Sherma (dec.), Lisa (George) and Christian (Cleidiane) and stepmother to Michael (dec.), Robert, Russell, Shawna and Delora. She was a proud grandmother of 19 and even a great-great-grandmother to one! She was predeceased by her parents, siblings, a daughter, a stepson and husband V. Dean Sims.

Barbara had been employed in the PVUSD administration office for over 25 years. She was born in Spreckels, CA and resided in the Salinas area for most of her life. She left a legacy of devotion to her family, the creatures around her and most importantly, to God. She will be missed.
