Barbara Jeanne Purcell

I remember Barb as a volunteer Extraordinaire at Middleton Outreach Ministry, when I was the director there, 1997-2008. She was our Gal Friday, who kept that place humming, cheered up our clientele, and kept a smile on our faces responding to her joyful interactions with others. she will be missed.--Dietrich

Barb was our Gal Friday at MOM because that was the day she volunteered. Early on she thought that part of my job at MOM was visiting with her while she ate her lunch. It soon became something I looked forward to and enjoyed very much. Barb went the extra mile for our clients. She was very caring and accomplished at problem solving. From our lunches, I know she was all about her family. You will all miss her, but she is looking down and watching you all each day. Claudia Miska

I never met Barbara but I work with one of her daughters and through her I can see Barbara. She gives of herself and as many have said of her mother she goes the extra miles. The greatest tribute I can make to Barbara is to say her spirit and impact on the world is carried in her children. May God hold Barbara close and grant strength and comfort to her family.
