We were so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was a sincere and kind lady who always had a moment to ask how all were doing. Her beautiful presence will be sorely missed by all who knew her. We are unable to make it to services but want you to know each and everyone of your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

I met Barb back in the 50's when I was working for Orville R. over at the farm where Duane was working for Addison. Only for a few minutes at Duane's place. Barb seemed like a nice woman as she was busy with housework. My BLESSINGS to the family, I'm sure she is in a better place now, God Bless her.

I recently joined the choir again at Saint Pat's and so grateful that I was able to reconnect with Barb. She and I did so many weddings together and I loved singing to her accompaniment. She was a lovely, caring, talented gal. She was still singing with all her heart in the choir up until she couldn't anymore and it warmed my heart to hear her know every word to every song and every response. Beautiful soul. My condolences to Renita, Rita and Renae.

Such a lovely lady! Condolences to the family. Renita, I will never forget your 2nd grade birthday party. It was the entire class (boys and girls). Your mom had so many fun games planned! I was able to get to know her even better while attending 6th grade @Illinois City Grade School. Everyone liked Mrs. Rursch! Our hearts go out to you and your family💕.
