She was born on Tuesday, February 9, 1932 in Corning, Ohio the daughter of Frank Starbuck Sr. and  Dorothy Thomas.

Barbara graduated from Western Local, Rutland OH & from Mount Carmel School of Nursing. She worked in administration for the Columbus Health Department and retired in 1991. She formerly served as the Clerk for Jackson Township, Grove City. One of her proudest achievements was being selected as the Outstanding Homemaker of the Year in 1973 from the Columbus City Citizens-Journal. Here is an excerpt  from the  article and the plaque she received: SELECTED HOMEMAKER – Mrs. Don Weygandt, 2685 Demorest Rd, Grove City, the Citizen-Journal’s Outstanding Homemaker of 1973, maintains a philosophy which keeps both the ‘back to the kitchen’ and feminist movements happy. She tried to maintain a home her family can enjoy and bring their friends to with pride. She supplies them with well-balanced meals and herself with enough outside activities to be an interesting wife and mother. During her 21 years of marriage, she has done all of her own cooking, painting, upholstering, paper hanging, sewing, gardening, repair work and furniture refinishing—because she enjoys doing them. She goes bicycling, canoeing, camping, hiking, ice skating, fishing and roller skating with her children. She is a volunteer with Crew Five at the American Cancer Society’s Thrift Shop in Grove City. She is also an active member of Ohio Child Conservation League and OSU Mother’s Club. Mrs. Weygandt was a working mother for eight years and emphathizes fully with women who are maintaining two careers. Her husband is a comptroller at Perma Trans Products. They have four children: Janet Marie, 19; Jeenah Louise, 11; James Herbert, 7, and Jocelyn Amanda, four. The Citizen-Journal saluted Mrs. Weygandt.
She is survived by four children; Janet (Jeff) Wilson, Jeenah Trout, Jim (Takako) Weygandt & Jocelyn (John) Jones; several grandchildren and great grandchildren. Barbara was preceded in death by her husband, Don Henry Weygandt; two brothers, Frank “Junior” Starbuck Jr. and Phillip Starbuck.
