Survivors include four sons, Richard Joseph Bennett (Ann), John Robert Bennett (Patsy), Stephen Wayne Bennett (Kim) and Mark Allen Bennett (Jennifer), and three siblings, Jerry Vaal, Tony Vaal (Linda), Toni Mundy. Barbara was blessed to have five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren who she adored very much, and she loved her many nieces and nephews as well.
