Barbara was born on December 15, 1937 in Concordia, KS, the daughter of William and Geneva (Ross) Amspacker.
Barbara attended beauty school in Topeka, KS, after high school, and was a beautician for over 50 years. Most of her clients became dear friends and she cherished those friendships always. Barbara also loved to cook and bake and made many special meals for birthdays and holidays. She even made birthday cakes from scratch with her own home-made frosting that everyone loved to eat. She loved to fish with her husband Don as they fished many a weekend together at Milford Lake and even won some fishing contests. Barbara also had a green thumb and loved her inside and outside flowers and plants. She liked to garden too and would have fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini to eat.
Barbara adored her family whether it was going shopping or on trips with her daughters or spending time with her grandchildren and great granddaughter. She spent a lot of time babysitting, playing games, and attending their school and sporting events. She was loved very much by her family and will be greatly missed.

So sorry for your lose. Your mom was an amazing lady. My heart goes out to all of you..
What a wonderful blessing to have had Barb for your mom. She was beautiful on the inside as well as on the outside. My mom, Jeane Huey treasured her as a beautician, but more importantly, as a friend. The way they enjoyed each other’s company is something we should all experience with a friend. Enjoy all those great memories your mom left for you.
I am saddened by the passing of my Aunt Bobbi. I have many wonderful memories of spending time in Junction City and at Milford Lake with her, my Uncle Don and cousins Donna and Sue. Although I haven’t seen her in many years I can still see her face and hear her laugh. She was always so friendly, calm, and kind always serving her family and friends and I know will be greatly missed by all! Love and Prayers to you all.
