Barbara (Barbie) Gordon, age 69. Beloved sister of Amy (Derik) Masek. Cherished daughter of the late Margaret and David Gordon. Dear cousin of Elayne (Barry) Howard and Cindy (Randy) Friedman. Barbara was known as witty, passionate, compassionate, and devoted to her Jewish culture. She was valued and treasured by family, friends (including Amy Blieden, Mark Lott and Laura Worsinger), and co-workers from Lacera where she was a uniquely talented writer. She shared mutual respect with all. She was an avid tennis player for most of her life and active in Pilates in recent years. Services will be held in Cleveland, OH. In lieu of flowers, friends who wish may contribute to the American Society of Hematology Foundation.
