Barbara was indeed a cherished friend to so many of us, and a root of our All Saints family. I loved her, and will miss her one in a million character. Heaven is now swarmed with Barbara and her animal rescues.
Barb will truly be missed by her All Saints church family. She was a faithful servant to God and our church. She loved animals and led the collection for pets at our annual Harley tree at Christmas. Barb say hi to Harley. Emma and Moriah. Prayers for you and your family.
My heart is broken. I have been blessed in that we journeyed together. Barb, you will not be forgotten. Blessed are they, that die in the Lord. Blessed indeed.
RIP Barb. You were such a special lady and so loved by your All Saints Family.. You were one in a million and will never be forgotten!
Barb was a great friend and had a zest for life and new experiences. I was privileged to know her and call her my friend. I feel blessed to have shared many stories and life moments with her. We are all in mourning over her sudden trip to heaven. Barb loved her church family and was very dedicated to helping anyone who needed her help.
to share time with her at All Saints.
My heart aches. Barb was so special to many people. Everyone who knew her undoubtedly has handfuls of great memories, because she had a seemingly unlimited amount of energy to share. The only exception was back in the 1980’s when “Dynasty” came on TV—that was strictly her time! 🙂 Love you and miss you. . God bless.
You will truly be missed. I’m grateful for all the things you have taught me and instilled in me. You were always there for me when I needed you. You always had the long game. I can’t wait to play a round of golf with you again. Love Adam.
Barb was such a beautiful person, full of energy, very intelligent and it was my pleasure and privilege to serve on All Saints Church Council with her! Barb will be deeply missed! You are one in a million! RIP Barb!
Barb was such a thoughtful and caring person. Thank you for all your wise counsel and well grounded advice. I know my in-laws Helen and Carl appreciated you very much as well. YOU WILL BE MISSED!!
I have lost a very special friend. We were grade school class mates and didn’t realize it! She has blessed a lot of lives with her smile and her laugh but most of all, her integrity. She was a very special friend and I will miss her.
Today I remember my dear friend Barbara, a friendship that spanned more than 70 years. From our childhood days to the many years afterwards.
Barbara had a gentle spirit and a caring heart. She was always considerate of others, putting the needs of family, friends, and even strangers before her own. Her compassion touched countless lives, and her trustworthiness made her someone people could always depend on.
Barbara leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness and compassion. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered and forever held in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.
Rest in peace dear friend!
I’m am so saddened to hear of the sudden loss of our dear friend Barb. Barb served as chief bill payer and treasurer for as long as I can remember (more than 40 years)! She had a gift for numbers and organization and always had a kind word for anyone who was struggling. Barb will be deeply missed. My condolence’s and prayers to her family at this difficult time.
Barb Schrubey May you Rest in Peace in the arms of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. My memories of Barb go back to St. James in Franklin. Barb was a year older than me & I never let her forget it. Barb was the Treasurer of the CYO & I the Vice President. The CYO generated a lot of money with the dances where no belly rubbing was allowed. When Nina, my lovely wife & I joined ASLC, who was there but Barb. Nina & Barb were co-workers on the Harley tree & oftentimes Barb would drive her Buick out to East Troy for dinner & liquid refreshments. It didn’t take long to realize Barb loved animals. Dogs, cats, & horses. Barb wore her feeling on her sleeve. Last saw Barb at her & my orthopedic surgeons office. Same office, different Dr. Barb did mention that she wasn’t looking forward to finding a new Pastor at ASLC. Didn’t think she’d go to such extremes to not take on that job. Finally, Barb was a “Hoot” when I first met her & she was a “Hoot” at all the Parrot Head Concerts. We won’t forget you!
I am so sorry for your loss. Barb was a wonderful, hardworking person who gave so much of her self to All Saints. I missed seeing her when we visited on May 23rd. It just wasn’t the same because she was not at the SCRIPT table. cracking jokes and welcoming everyone. Then I heard she had knee surgery for a knee that hurt her for so long and I was glad she was getting the help she needed. She was always complimentary on my artwork. I will miss keeping in touch with her. I won’t forget you.
We are deeply saddened by the heartbreaking news about Barb. She will be greatly missed by the members of her All Saints Church Family. Such a special lady will never be forgotten.
Steve and I were very saddened and shocked at the loss of this beautiful lady. She gave her all to everyone. And became a wonderful friend. My deepest condolences to her family. She will be missed xo
Barb was the big sister I didn’t have. When we first met on 4/18/85 at The Milwaukee Company, who knew that that was the beginning of an amazing 41-year friendship. You could tell Barb anything, Barb never judged, never criticized, never complained, never gossiped. If something didn’t go right, she always said ‘oh well.”. We went out for lunches, dinners, to the movies, exercised at the Y, played bingo for years, went to concerts in the park, & 4th of July fireworks, to parties, babysat each other’s dog, we were in a card group. We worshipped together at All Saints. It’s an amazing feeling to sit next to your friend at church & worship God together. My daughter, granddaughter & I have a tradition of making cut out cookies at Easter & Christmas & always gave Barb some. She loved them & said they were the best. Tears will be shed as we remember Barb when we make our cookies. No more thank you note siigned: Love Barb .xo.. Barb knew everything about us. My husband worked with her for the last 25 years. He always wanted to tag along when we went out for dinner, but we told him it was Girl’s Night Out. We always ended the night with “I love you:” & a hug. To her family & dear friends (& she had many) may you find comfort in the memories of our amazing friend. She will always be in our hear.t. Rest in Peace, my dear friend, I Love You, It’s 5 o’clock somewhere.
It is with tears and sadness that I remember my dear friend, Barb. For over 20 years we sat next to each other at work. We shared our everyday ups and downs. We shared life’s pains, laughter and so many good times. We went on 5 business trips together and always sat by each other at all the meetings. During those trips we would go to many different sights including the Alamo and a Brewer Spring Training Game. We enjoyed so many Business Lunches at the Pfister, Downtown Dining was a special treat. Every year we picked 2 different restaurants. For many years we golfed after work. She was a good golfer. Barb often talked about her church and was the reason we decided to join the church she went to. We worked together on the Senior Lunches. She always prayed and thought about others. Barb was my office spouse. My last text to her said that I was concerned about my office spouse and told her I wanted a daily report on how she was feeling. Barb’s last reply said she was not in pain and felt a little better each day, but her foot was numb. I am so disappointed her church refused to allow the Pastor she loved and worked so closely with to perform the service. she deserved, all because of his retirement just 2 weeks earlier. Barb dedicated her life to that church. Barb will always be remembered and will always be in my heart. Till we meet again.
How do I begin to put an over 70 year friendship into words. Barb and I grew up together from the time we were in diapers. My dad liked to tell her the story of how she’d come over and ask if I could come out and play and he’d give her a bad time. We lived there for many years with Dennis L in the middle and went to St. James and onto Oak Creek HS. We stood up for each others weddings and Barb was always there for me. I remember the day we moved into our house and had Brandy, our new Golden Retriever puppy, pee all over Barb’s leg.. She just laughed to this day.I could fill up a book with the stories of our adventures through life, but the thing I want everyone to remember is you could’t have a better friend than Barb. I miss her every day.l l Rest in Peace my Dearest Friend.
Your All Saints family misses you
Thank you for all you have done.
Again thank you.
I have put this off for weeks because I was trying to fool myself thinking Barbara was still with us. It is hard to believe since Barb was my oldest friend. I can say that without a doubt because when I was born on West Rawson Avenue she already lived there for three years. So growing up I followed my older sister and Barbara around. I remember forts we built in the field behind our houses. I remember playing outside until dusk. We also went to the same grade school and she was there at Oak Creek High School when I got there. Barbara was always a part of my life. Almost every fourth recipe in my book has Barbs name on it. My husband and I will miss getting either a birthday card or Christmas card from her because if we forgot we always opened it up and had to clean up a pile of confetti or sparkles that fell from the card. She also sent some of the funniest cards. Yes Barb is going to be missed but I believe she is now in heaven with her dad and mine laughing at some of our childhood antics that we thought we got away with only to be told by our dada that they KNEW. all along.
