It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Barbara Toste a beloved mother, daughter, and sister, who left us far too soon. Barbara, known for her warmth and nurturing spirit, was the eldest sister among three, cherished by her siblings and family.
Barbara was the proud mother of two wonderful children, Joseph Toste and Brandy, who brought immense joy to her life. Brandy, resides in Santa Barbara, continues Barbara’s legacy of love and compassion. Joseph also residing in Santa Barbara with his wife Jamie and their two beloved children, Jack and Anabelle.

Barbara dedicated much of her life to caring for her family. She worked as a waitress at Jane, where she greeted everyone with a smile and warmth, but her most important role was being there for her children and taking care of our parents. Her selflessness and dedication to family endeared her to all who knew her.

Growing up alongside her sisters, Cristina and Lissa, Barbara shared countless memories, laughter, and love. Cristina, married to Humberto Salmeron, now lives in Goodyear, Arizona, and is the proud mother of two daughters, Alexis and Giselle. Cristina holds dear the memories of their sisterly bond, while Lissa in Miami treasures the times they spent together.

An ocean lover at heart, Barbara found peace and joy by the sea, often cherishing moments spent with loved ones by the waves. Her love for champagne was a testament to her vibrant spirit, always celebrating life’s special moments and bringing joy to those around her.

Barbara will be deeply missed by her family and friends, whose lives were enriched by her unwavering love and kindness. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you celebrate Barbara’s life by sharing stories and memories that honor her spirit.
