Barbara attended primary school in Tiffin, where her father owned the Singer sewing machine store.

During her time at Findlay High School, she met Joe Spitler, whom she would marry June 24, 1956.

Barbara worked at the Ohio Bell office in Findlay before and after she married Joe until the birth of their first child when she traded in her headset at Ma Bell to be a homemaker, wife, and mother. Barbara was known to her family as a "Good Cooker," so named by David at the age of three.

Barbara was preceded in death by both of her parents; as well as Joseph; her son, Bill; son-in-law, Joey; grandsons, Jonathan and Bruce; and granddaughter, SarahKay.
