Barbara graduated from Hoke Smith High School in Atlanta and worked many years as an executive secretary while raising a young family with her first husband Gary Lee Wisener. Throughout Barbara’s long working career, she was a consummate professional and in later years while working in the law department for Mutual of New York, went back to school to become a paralegal. Barbara retired from Mutual of New York when she was sixty but soon was asked to come back to work on a consulting basis with MONY Law Division in Manhattan, NY. Her passions were her family, home, gardening and her beloved pets Amy, Doug, Kim, Molly and Jitsy. Later in life she would fulfill a long-held dream of traveling and took many memorable trips to Europe, Hawaii, and Alaska. She was an avid reader who donated to many causes she believed in. She passed those passions along to her three daughters, Debra Lee Wisener-Chester, Susan Gay Wisener, Nancy Ann Wisener Robertson. She loved her wonderful sons-in-law, Dr. Steve Chester and William Mark Robertson and delighted in her granddaughter, Dr. Olivia Anne Chester Newell.
