Barbara J Essock

So many people loved Barb! She inspired and encouraged and motivated us.

I did not know Barbara but may her beautiful soul rest in peace

Barbara and my dad were married in 1972. They had many happy years together until his passing in 2010. She was an avid artist world traveler and an important figure in the Madison Historical Society. As an educator she touched the lives of hundreds if not thousand of young minds. She had a full life and will be missed by the entire family.

Barbara was a kind loving lady to be around. She welcomed us to her home for events I was able to have her to my home for a couple occasions and she enjoyed my grandkids. A lady who earned her wings to fly high united with her husband now. My condolences to all the family.

I had the pleasure of knowing Barb for the past 10 years or so through our Friday morning art classes. Always encouraging to others, she was an inspiration and a friend to all. Her art, I think reflective of her soul, was beautiful. We'll miss her. My condolences to her family.
