Barb and Albert had the original Meier family farm. As kids we would spend time there and have the time of our life. Barb would let us kids be kids. I was able to attend the 100 year anniversary of the farm. Barb will be missed. Love, Christine Meyer-Jenner

I'm so sorry to hear about Barb. I will miss our road trips up to Minocqua to the cottage. She was always so talkative and a pleasure to be around. She will be missed.

For Michelle, may the roots of this tree spread strong and grow deep, just as Barbara's love did for every soul she touched.

Barb was an amazing lady. She and Albert were my godparents although they were more like grandparents to me. I always looked forward to her calls and visits. She will be sadly missed. Many hugs to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
