Barbara graduated from the Kentucky Baptist Hospital School of Nursing in 1952. She discovered her passion for pediatrics and spent her happiest years at Kosair Childrens Hospital until her retirement.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Russell Hypes and sister, Shirley Wise.
Barbara is survived by her sons, Rusty (Mary) Hypes and Scott (Vickey) Hypes; daughter, Missy (Michael) Wislocki; sister, Jean Maupin; grandchildren, Aaron, Ashley, Clifford, Billy, Sarah, Jake and Luke as well as 9 great grandchildren.
Barbara never refused an offer to travel with her children, especially if her grandchildren were involved. After retirement, her passion for children was transferred to the church where she volunteered in the nursery. She spent many wonderful Friday afternoons either visiting with her sisters or enjoying a shopping adventure capped off with a glass of white zinfandel. She was a member of Highview Baptist Church - Valley Campus. Those who wish may donate in Barbara's name to Kosair Children’s Hospital, Alzheimers Association, or Hosparus. Special thanks to the staff of Heartsong Memory Care for a wonderful 5 years. We know she was loved and cared for just like family. Another thanks goes out to Janice and Christina from Hosparus. Your compassionate care was greatly appreciated. Friends and family can attend the visitation.
Her funeral will be on Sunday at 1:30 at Heady-Hardy Funeral Home, 7710 Dixie Highway. Visitation will be on Saturday from 2pm-7pm
