Barbara was active in several trade organizations including the United Fresh Produce Association and the Produce Marketing Association. She served as national president of Home Economists in Business.
She also volunteered in the campaign offices for several state and national political candidates over the years.
After she retired, Barbara wrote articles for several food industry trade publications. She served on the board of directors for Hillsides, a Pasadena nonprofit organization that helps children and families. She also worked on programs assisting women and children in distress at a local YWCA.
Barbara and her late husband, the journalist Lewis Robison, had one son. Clint married Christine and they provided her with two grandsons.
