After Dave graduated from MSU, the family moved to Great Falls, and Barb gave birth to Karom David. Karom’s kidneys were destroyed soon after birth, which meant Barb and Dave did around-the-clock dialysis at home to keep him alive. He was a happy boy with a great smile. Unfortunately, SIDS came to call, and he died the day after Thanksgiving. A year later, Danielle was born. In Great Falls, Barb worked for a group of accountants and was then hired as a secretary and insurance adjuster for Crawford and Company. She ended her career as an Administrative Assistant at the Great Falls Community Food Bank. She truly enjoyed working for George Paul and Gayle Carlson. While working there, she was excited to welcome her grandchildren, Emily and Jacen. She was planning to work a few more years, but one day she came to work and could not remember how to do things even though she had worked there for 10 years. The stroke had happened, and she retreated to her home. She loved reading romance novels. In fact, she would head to work an hour or more early so she could sit in the parking lot and read before work.

Summer was her favorite season, and her backyard was always full of colorful geraniums, petunias, and one cherry tomato plant for Dave. Her Basset Hound, Frank, was her constant companion the last few years. She also enjoyed collecting goose and duck-themed figurines, cookie jars, and other items to decorate the house. She asked that her remains be placed in her goose cookie jar and be interred at Hillcrest Mausoleum. Those wishes were honored. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother, Milton (Darlene) Munson, and her son, Karom. She is survived by her husband; daughters, Nicole (Ben) Jetland and Dani (MaryAnn) Montgomery, and grandchildren. A memorial service was held at Hillcrest Lawn Memorial Chapel on Friday, Oct. 15, 2021. Condolences for the family may be shared online at SchniderFuneralHome.com. ■ Pub. 1, Issue 1, 2022 13
