We send our sympathy to you and your family, Wayne!! Barb was such a genuinely nice lady and fun to be around. She will be missed in the Hutchinson community.
Debi and Nick Decker says
Dear Wayne, and family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of Barb. She was the most kindhearted lady who always had positive things to say about everyone, even her beloved sports teams! I learned so much about sports from Barb. 😉 I will miss our occasional visits as she was a wonderful friend too. Barbara was almost giddy as she waited for her Prince Charming to pick her up in that always immaculate Caprice. We will cherish our memories of Barb, as we know she has gone onto her eternal home with God. May God guide your sorrowful journey.
Joel Geier says
Deepest sympathies to the whole family (from a high school friend of Mike’s).
Virgene Roepke says
I was so sad to see that Barb had passed away. She was so pleasant and nice to me when ever she came into Cash Wise. Always had something nice to say to me and I am sure to other people she meet. It was a pleasure to wait on her. She will be missed. My Deepest Sympathy to her Family.

Many of us from Kindergarten loved “Mrs. Flynn,” as we knew her. 30, 40 years or so later she would recognize you, interested in how you were doing and make time for a little chat. My Mom knew her from church activities and always enjoyed seeing and talking to her. My sympathies to Mr. Scott and the family.
Gene McMahon says
Wayne, I am so sorry for your loss. I really enjoyed Barb in the choir many years ago and at our lunches at Squeakie’s.
May she rest in peace.
