Everyone who met her was struck by her beauty, both outside and in. She had tremendous spirit and a zest for life but with a gentle and loving soul. As a parent she participated in Brownies, Girl Scouts, and Boy Scouts with her children. She was Junior Golf Chairperson for two years at Blackhawk Country Club, Madison, Wisconsin, golf being her second passion. Barbara was a member of not only Blackhawk Country Club but, after a move to Waukesha County, Wisconsin, became a member of Tumblebrook and Tuckaway Country Clubs. She also played and was a member of Nagawaukee, Kettle Moraine and Oakwood womens’ golf leagues. Barbara celebrated a hole-in-one at Monroe Country Club, Monroe, Wisconsin when she was 44 years old and she enjoyed playing golf until she was 85 years old, winning many tournaments in her golf flight. While living in Madison, Barbara was a member of the Medical Auxiliary, where she was Membership Chairperson for two years and chaired various committees. Barbara enjoyed working part time at Gimbels in Madison and in Milwaukee after her children became teenagers and, after she retired, treasured her monthly luncheons keeping in touch with the Gimbels “girls”. Barbara and Warren spent time after the children were grown traveling in the British Isles, Spain, Europe and Russia. They especially enjoyed their annual winter trips to the Bahamas. Barbara also spent Tuesday mornings and some Sunday afternoons and evenings, while she was able, playing Bingo, her third passion, at the Elks Club in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and the American Legion in Greendale, Wisconsin. A private memorial service will be held for Barbara and she will be buried next to Warren, Sr. Barbara was a cherished person to many during her lifetime and she will be greatly missed by family and friends.
