Barbara Ruth Dudas

DUDAS, BARBARA RUTH (Pennell) - Barbara, on the wings of angels, passed into life eternal, on Dec. 6th, in the loving care of Brookcrest Nursing Staff and family. Barb's children, Dick & Barb Dudas of Kentucky, John & Susanne Dudas of Ohio and Robyn & Dave Bowen of Grandville grieve the loss of their dear mother. Bill Dudas, devoted, beloved husband of 40 years was steadfastly present to say farewell at her eternal appointment. His 3 daughters and sons-in-laws stood lovingly near: Sue & Casey Sterk, Jan & Mark Eilar and RuthAnn & Brian Ingraham.

Barb was born in the summer of 1927 and was raised in Berrien Springs in a country family. In her life she enjoyed high school cheerleading, bowling on league teams, motor-homing across America, formerly serving the Lions Club locally, and keeping her home lovely. She collected cat figurines, owl ornaments and U of M memorabilia and statistics.
