“Barb loved being a grandmother and cherished every moment spent with her granddaughters. She was very proud to have worked for over 30 years as a cook in the Inver Grove Heights Community School District (ISD 199), where she shared her passion for food with others. She loved hosting gatherings and bringing people together. She found great joy in time spent with family and friends—especially during summers at the family cabin she and her husband, Gus, owned in Big Lake, MN. She will always be remembered for her sharp sense of humor and the special way she brought people together. She will be forever loved and deeply missed by many.”
