Barbara was born May 23, 1942 in Kansas City, Kansas to Floyd and Lois Wesson Bollinger.
She married young and had three children by the age of 21. 10 years later she happily welcomed her fourth. A mom and grandma “B” was what she was meant to be!
Barbara was born May 23, 1942 in Kansas City, Kansas to Floyd and Lois Wesson Bollinger.
She married young and had three children by the age of 21. 10 years later she happily welcomed her fourth. A mom and grandma “B” was what she was meant to be!
Family to “B” was everything, she had what some call “FOMO”, the fear of missing out. She loved her family fiercly and passionately and didn’t miss anything they were involved in, from sporting events, to plays, to races, dance recitals, graduations, and weddings. If any of her family adopted a passion like sports, so did “B” and she never missed one!
Often times she would embrace her adventurous side and ride with Clint and Marsha, side-by-side rides, and even dune buggies on the sand dunes. She enjoyed a good game of cards, and enjoyed even more when she beat Clint, or Jayde and Jagur at Ping Pong. There was nothing that she wouldn’t do with her family.
Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, and brother Charles “Bud” Bollinger and wife Mary Anne. She is survived by her children and their families; daughter Robin (Jeffery) Ward, and grandchildren, Kristopher (Brooke), Andrew (Abby), and Matty (Brandy) Ward, Her son Clint (Marsha) Edgmon, and grandchildren, Shannon (George) Constable, Courtney (Justice) Eckard, Ashley, and Piper Edgmon. Her daughter Laurie Lacy and grandchildren, Talia (Stephen) Miller and Trent (Jena) Lacy. Daughter Cheri (Tim) Eidson and grandchildren, Jayde (Sam) Carlson and Jagur Eidson. She also leaves behind nieces, Sany (Kyle) Smading and family and Chelle (Ron) Eidson and family. “B” also leaves behind her “special family”, Brenda & Dillion Hill and all her babysitting kids over the years.
