Biography

She *MAY* not have been the biological daughter of Walter & Carolyn Garlick,

She thought she may have been adopted, (because her mother would not let her join the Daughters of the American Revolution, even though her mother was descended from renowned Revolutionary soldiers) but I have no proof yet one way or the other.

In any case, she was their only child.

Barbara lived most of her life in Essex County, NJ before moving to Florida in 1999. She died in Boca Raton FL in March 2001.

She graduated from Connecticut College for women in 1954.

She married Robert Carlson after finishing college, but they divorced shortly thereafter. They had no children.

She taught school (Vail Deane in NJ) while also studying for a Masters in International Relations at Columbia, and then married Robert Boyle III in 1961. They met as members of the Montclair Ski Club, although in later years Barbara hated cold weather and didn't ski much! She preferred sailing and summers spent swimming, tanning, and reading by the lake at Lake Hopatcong, NJ.

Daughter Karen born in 1960's (still living) Still-born son in approx. 1965 Foster son (still living) joined the family in 1968.
