Barbara Sperrazza was a dietitian and diabetes educator who had the warmest smile and loved to help people. She lost her ability to read, write, speak and eventually swallow due to frontotemporal dementia, a progressive degenerative brain disease that strikes in the prime of life, typically between age 45 and 60. Now, her husband and his brothers and sisters at the Fraternal Order of Eagles of Gainesville are fighting for a cure: They’ve just donated $50,000 to UF’s Barbara’s Dream Fund for Frontotemporal Dementia.
