Barb was a member of Rock River Community Church in Luverne. Throughout her life she played piano and also was the head of the missions committee. Barb loved to play games with her grandchildren, or anyone, really. She also loved flower gardening, crafts and making cards. She loved music and most of all, reading her Bible. Barb loved the Lord, she loved her family and was blessed with her husband, daughter, son-in-law and five grandchildren. She loved that she had 14 siblings and later found out that she had another!
