Most Sundays, you could find Barb at her booth in Kerrytown, (a longtime member of the Ann Arbor Artisan Guild), where she created and sold many pieces of her pottery, jewelry, and painted china. She also enjoyed quilting, sewing, knitting, crocheting, and was a proud member of the Red Hat Society. Barb was a huge supporter and advocate for her local animal shelters. She provided many four legged friends a safe haven and home throughout her years. Barb and Harry loved to camp, and enjoyed many camping trips up North during their marriage, especially the times they shared at Rogers City. Barb was a huge music lover, with an eclectic taste, and a passion for all things Beatles.

A memorial gathering is being held Thursday, November 15 at 10 A.M. at Muehlig Funeral Chapel (403 S. Fourth Ave., Ann Arbor, MI 48104)

In lieu of flowers, we ask that you give back to your local animal shelters/rescues. We know that would touch Barb and help keep her memory alive.
