In Memory

Thank you to all the friends, family, and congregants which painted such a rich and delightful picture of Barbara's life. It reminds me of how important it is to show love to our teachers in life.  The slideshow was wonderful and reminded me of how approachable Barbara was, with her smile from the heart. Far to often, it was enough to simply feel the 'fullness of blessing' from one of her smiles; I wonder of all the stories that could have been shared. My prayers are with each of you and with Barbara.  Brendan

Always think of her preparing the after service table for those attending the service and concerned there would be enough. Thoughtful.

Barbara was significantly involved in our fellowship ministry for years. Her work was to bring fruit for our after-worship cafe time, and to lay out all the donated foods on the serving table. She especially loved zucchini bread. I delighted to make and bring it because I knew she would rave about how much she loved it. She gave me joy. Ginnie Sent from my iPhone.

Dear PBPC friends, It is with a heavy heart that I bring the sad news that Barbara McConnell passed away August 17th. Barbara was diagnosed with cancer a couple of months ago, and her health had steadily declined since then.  Barbara had been a member of PBPC for 45 years, and prior to that had been a member of Brooklyn Presbyterian Church (in Oakland) since she was young, until that church closed down and its members joined PBPC.  Most of us will remember Barbara for her tireless servanthood in serving up refreshments for us at our fellowship time after our worship service each Sunday. Barbara was 85 years old and was living at the Lake Park Retirement Community.  Please join me in giving thanks for the life of our sister and friend Barbara McConnell. We will have a memorial service for Barbara online on Zoom on Sunday, September 20th at 12:15 pm.  Blessings, Pastor Chris
