She was born August 1, 1943, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Anthony “Tony” Bonacorso and Rose Bonacorso.

Family meant everything to Barbara. The example that she and Les set in showing and giving love leaves an amazing legacy. She met the love of her life at the age of 14 years old and he treated her like a princess until the day he passed. They loved to travel, and she loved being with Les as they enjoyed their many adventures with the Baton Rouge Corvette Club. Her favorite pastime was spending time playing cards with her friends.
