Barbara lived a long and full life filled with friendship and love. She was gentle and generous and always had a smile. At the same time she could be tough, having raised three mischievous boys all aged two years apart! She was also resilient, always rebounding from life’s setbacks with grace and resolve. She was a talented artist and she loved music, theater, art, singing in the church choir, and socializing with family and friends. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Memorial contributions to Good Shepherd Methodist Church and the Oconomowoc Chamber Orchestra would be appreciated.

A  graveside funeral service will take place on Thursday, July 13th, 2023 at 10:00am at Glenview Memorial Gardens (W1219 Glenview Ave, Ixonia, WI 53036).
