Barbara Peterson passed away on November 10, 1994 at home in Burbank at age 45. Barbara's earthly remains were cremated and are buried at Grandview Memorial Park in Glendale. Barbara lived and suffered with Muscular Dystrophy disease for most of her life. Three years before her death she also suffered a debilitating stroke. She moved back home with her parents in Burbank, and from then on until her death they lovingly cared for Barbara themselves in their home.
Barbara's death was due to complications of the Muscular Dystrophy, the stroke, and at the end also pneumonia.
