Barbara was an active community member where she was instrumental in the founding of the Rochester Community Garden, a Racine County 4-H leader, a Burlington Memorial Hospital Auxiliary member and an enthusiastic volunteer for Catholic Central High School and St. Mary’s Grade school where her children attended.
Barbara was a Master Gardener who loved sharing her knowledge with friends, grandchildren and members of the community. She enjoyed summertime at her cabin in Eagle River where she fished, kayaked and adored camp fires overlooking the lake. Barbara was excited to be a new resident of Florida, she and Paul would enjoy their retirement on the Gulf of Mexico where they could trade snowflakes for seashells. She was exceedingly proud of her family and delighted in company of her five grandchildren. Barb was well known for her lilac bouquets, delicious dinner rolls and gracious hospitality. She will be sadly missed by all.
