    Dear Wingerter Family,
    It is with sadness that we learn of Barb’s death. Our connection to her usually was when we would be attending sports activities, like the Blue Devil boys’ basketball games. She did have a good sense of humor.
    Thinking of you and remembering Barb.
    As ever,
    Pat & Dick Wentura.

    May God bless and comfort your Vic and all your family. When we were Washington school kids I remember her being so good to us kids. I remember you telling us The Beach Boys sang Barbra Ann about your mom…😊💕💕 in Mr. Wegman’s class. 5th grade.

    Vic and family,
    I’ll always remember Barb from QJHS. She was always good for a laugh and a smile. She was a great cook and she cared about the students and staff. Find comfort in the memories.

    Barb was one of a kind. She accepted everyone without a thought and treated everyone like family! Her quick wit, sense of humor and the way she embraced every day are how I will remember her. What a legacy she left for her family, friends and community! Prayers for comfort to her family and all those who loved her. Love you all, Mary & Mark

    Before retiring a few years back I drove a school bus occasionally when she was the rider . She always did a great job organizing and encouraging the kids. She always had an energetic attitude and so many of us will forever miss her smile. Deepest sympathy to family and friends.
