Barbara A. Puls

Sending my thoughts and love to all of Barb’s family. We considered her our 3rd grandmother and we loved her like so. She was such a joy to be around and I will always admire her positivity and pure happiness she brought to those around her. I have so many wonderful memories of Barb and will cherish them always. This photo is from last year when we took her to a winery to celebrate her birthday which we planned to do again this year and we still plan to do in honor of her. My family often talks about how we “wish we could be more like Barb” -her outlook on life was contagious and I will always remember her with a smile on her face. Love - Mairin Ryan

I have known Barb for 68 years and have been blessed to spend time with Otto and her in so many different ways. Helped them move into their home on Maple while playing together on a baseball team. She was always there to support her Otto. As an officials' wife she took my wife under her wing to teach her the tricks. Hall of Fame Club volunteer, Badger Booster and so many more allowed me to see her and appreciate all she did for so many. The one thing that I remember most is that every time I saw her I smiled! she was a joy and will always be remembered the loving soul she was and still is. Bless you Barb and thanks for being you. Rest well you deserve it.

In the encyclopedia, under "Amazing Ladies of Wisconsin" AND under "Most Impressive Life Stories" (a/k/a obit), there is listed the name "Barbara (Holmes) Puls". My family had a double dose of Barbara for almost 60 years, first as Otto's cheerleader and, then, as a nearby Middleton neighbor! She helped make my Family a happier Family, just by being near and dear. The sadness of her departure is enormous . . . RIP, Barb, and thanks for helping to make Middleton and Wisconsin a better place!! Sincere condolences to Otto and the rest of the Puls Family, from all of mine. Dan Simms

May God place his healing hands upon all your hearts and help ease your pain. May the memories of her love help you through these difficult times. Our deepest sympathy. 🙏

In loving memory of Barb, Barb's radiant joy of life was a beacon to all who crossed her path. While her family was her greatest source of happiness, her warmth and genuine interest in everyone and in every encounter - a cherished moment. Never a moment when out for walks that both sides did not genuinely want to stop to come together to catch up and connect again. She had a remarkable knack for making everyone feel seen and valued, always eager to hear about the lives of those around her. Her spirit of kindness and camaraderie will be deeply missed but forever cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Mark Sara Hanson & Family
