She participated in the choir and the ladies aide. She was a strong independent woman who was fierce and stood up for what she believed in. Barb relied on her strong faith to get through life's trials. Many times, you could find Barb sitting on her front porch reading God's Psalms and drinking her coffee. In these moments, she would speak of peaceful prayers with God and moments of gratitude. Strong friendships grew on that porch and laughter could be heard throughout the neighborhood. She loved talking about history, the good old days, and solving today's life's problems. Barb was an avid reader. She enjoyed history and doing genealogy as well as playing bridge with her friends. She loved her family with all her heart. She would read books to her grandchildren, made up imaginary stories and acted them out. Barb loved to bake, carve pumpkins, taking her grandchildren on "dining experiences" and watching their sporting events while being their biggest cheerleader. Barb was a devoted, kindhearted and loving daughter, sister, mother and Nonna. Barb is survived by her two daughters and their families: Wendy (Brian) Benson of Stanton and their children—Jackson and Reagan; Korin (Nic) Simonson of O'Neill and their family—Lexi Steed, Brinley Steed, Addy Steed, Reese Simonson and Rowan Simonson.
