When I was in high school, Irwin and I would ride our bikes to his house to eat Barbara's freshly baked bread and tomato soup.  In those days, she baked dozens of loaves of bread, once a week, and I looked forward to baking day.

Barbara was my ""other mother"" during my high school years -- providing just the right amount of direction and tolerance to help us stay out of trouble.  I've often thought since about her example of steadiness, hard work, and loyalty to her family.  I'm very sorry to learn of Barbara's passing.

I was sad to hear of her passing. She was a great person to know and will always have a special place in my heart. I will miss occasionally stopping by the house for a hug and some talk about past, present and future memories. She left a good mark on my soul as well as everyone she came in contact with. She will be missed.

What a terrible loss this world has experienced with the loss of dear Barbara.  She was loved by so many. We have many great memories of this fine lady.  Gail remembers being her visiting teaching partner so many years ago.  Being sure that dinner was ready for her family, she would grab a piece of roasted deer meat and a couple slices of bread and off we would go so that we could be on time to visit our dear sister.  I remember being I the house waiting for her to get ready to go visiting and seeing all those quarts of raspberries she had canned for the winter.  I wondered how anyone could possibly grow that many berries as we did well to get a cup off our bushes.

Barbara would laugh about her left arm getting stronger and stronger from delivering newspapers out of her car window. She sure could have been a pitcher on a women's baseball team when she was finished supporting Vaughn on his mission with that out of town paper route.    

I remember being invited to the Ball's house for dinner one night. When we got there, Angie had a issue and would not get out of the car.  Barbara went to the car to talk to Angie and In just minutes, she had Angie in the house.  She taught Angie how to make her wonderful bread rolls.  Angie thought Barbara was the most wonderful lady in town.

I once asked Barbara how she handled all the stress of raising such a big family.  She said when things got heavy, she would go upstairs and sew Barbie doll clothes.  She not only relieved stress, but made all her little grand daughters so happy with her creations.

Time and new ward boundaries in the church separated us from seeing Barbara as much as we would have liked.  We often thought about her and Les and I kept up on their lives somewhat when I would go with Cindy to the temple. Barbara lived a very long and fulfilled life. To her wonderful family we offer our deepest sympathy.  We are spending the winter months in Costa Rica, but our thoughts and prayers will be with all of you. May the memories of this wonderful woman help you through your sorrow.

So sorry to hear of your loss.     Jim and Rose Brinks, LaPorte

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. She will be missed by the community, friends and family.  The Ball's were wonderful neighbors and we enjoyed their friendship over the years.

Carolyn and Jane Goodwin

Les and family, we were so sorry to hear about Barbara.  I had 2 nice chats with her on the phone  the week before we left for Mexico.  She was a great lady and will be missed by many.  I valued her friendship,  as well as you and her family.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.  Sorry we can't be there as we are still in Mexico.

Ren and Sharon  Jensen
