A graduate of Solomon Juneau High School and Milwaukee County Nursing School, Barbara was a dedicated registered nurse, with more than 40 years of service, mainly in the labor and delivery department, as Milwaukee County Hospital evolved into Froedtert Hospital. She raised her family in Greendale, where she enjoyed her hobbies of sewing, knitting, baking, gardening, and taking part in Bible study. She was loved by many and will be greatly missed by all.

“You are reading in the newspaper that I am dead. Do not believe a word of it, for I am more alive than ever before.” D.L. Moody.

Barb is now with our Lord, in Heaven.
