From dirt roads in small-town Erie to the busy halls of Good Samaritan Hospital, Barb Williams’ life has been filled with connection, care, and community.
Born in Denver, Barb moved to Erie in the 9th grade when the town had just 200 residents. After raising two daughters (and later welcoming four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren), she spent 30 years in banking and 15 years at IBM before turning her talents toward giving back.
Since 2005, she’s been a steady, compassionate presence here—greeting patients with warmth, transporting them after surgery, and never letting them leave without a seatbelt and a smile. Barb walks miles each day, crochets thoughtful gifts, sings in her church choir, and still volunteers with Meals on Wheels.
Her kindness lingers long after she’s left the room, and we are so grateful to have her as part of our Good Samaritan family. ❤️
