Rev. Dudley Wiggin
A red-headed former stewardess, Barb is brash like her husband, Rev. Dudley Wiggin. She enjoys picking up Owen Meany, who hates her. He antagonizes her by seizing control of her Christmas pageant, and she gets her revenge by manhandling him and giving him an erection right before the curtain goes up. As a former stewardess, Barb likes to run a tight ship, and Owen’s meddling infuriates her.
