Barbara A Fasbender

very aggressive brain tumor. Her beloved sons and daughter in law were by her side.

Barbara was born on April 18, 1939, in Pennsylvania to Steve and Anna Nagy. As the oldest of six children, she learned

the values of family, leadership, and care early in life. On her 20th birthday, April 18, 1959, she wed the love of her life,

Gordon William Fasbender Jr. in Tacoma, Washington. Together with their sons, they shared a life full of adventure and

devotion, traveling the country from coast to coast. Gordon and Barbara eventually retired to the peaceful surroundings

of Luck, Wisconsin, where they owned and operated the Pine Grove Resort on Bone Lake, creating lasting memories for

their family and guests alike. Following the passing of her beloved husband, Barbara traded the Midwest winters for the

warmth and sunshine of Eloy, Arizona, where she permanently settled in the late Spring of 2025.

A dedicated homemaker, Barbara poured her heart into raising her two sons and caring for her family. She was a woman

of many passions; her hands were rarely still, whether she was meticulously working on her latest sewing project,

baking, tending to her vibrant gardens, or frequenting garage sales and thrift shops looking for that “must have” knickknack

or deal that just couldn’t be passed up. When taking a well-deserved break, she could most often be found

enjoying her favorite soap operas or losing herself in a good movie. In her last years she enjoyed sharing her unfiltered

humor and good times with Arizona friends and tormenting her son Gordon with her electronic device “challenges”.

Barbara was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Steve and Anna Nagy; her cherished husband of 57 years,

Gordon William Fasbender Jr., who passed away on October 18, 2016; and her siblings Steve Nagy, John Nagy and

Marilyn Stacy.

Her legacy of love lives on through her surviving family, including her sons, Gordon William Fasbender III of Eloy, AZ, and

Darren Edward Fasbender and his wife, Renae, of League City, TX. Grandchildren, Brennen (Taylor), Madeline (Ethan),

and Cameron, and great-granddaughter Arlo (Madeline and Ethan). She is also survived by her brother, Ralph Nagy, and

her sister, Joanne Yodonise.

A private memorial service will be held at 11:00 am, Friday, July 24th at Rowe Funeral Home, 101 Cedar Street, Frederic,

WI 54837. A celebration of life reception will be held following the service between 2:00 and 4:00 pm at Wilkins Bar,

2351 109th Street, Luck, WI 54853.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you remember Barbara in your prayers or offer memorials to the American

Cancer Society.
