Barbara Ann Page, age 72 of Battle Creek, passed away peacefully in her home on Saturday, April 7, 2018 under the loving care of her husband and family. Barbara was born November 14, 1945 in Coldwater, MI, the daughter of Frederick and Violet (Funk) Schumacher.
Barbara was united in marriage to her childhood sweetheart, Levi Page on June 19, 1981 in Battle Creek, MI and he survives.

Barbara and Levi enjoyed antiquing and traveling together. They loved going to Florida, Colorado and California. Peonies and red roses were a few of Barbara’s favorite flowers, but she enjoyed them all. Her love of dogs was ever present in the joy that her beloved “fur baby” Bailey brought to her. Barbara loved her family very much. She especially enjoyed being with her granddaughters and great-grandchildren. The annual Funk Family reunion was a wonderful family gathering that Barbara enjoyed going to and Levi will continue to attend in Barbara’s honor.
