Barbara M. Riddle

Barbara Marie Riddle, beloved sister of Genie, Peter, Paul, Larry, John, Jim, Tom, Monica, Teresa, and Tricia, passed away peacefully in her home at Wildoak on December 6, 2025 at the age of 59. Preceded in death by her parents Eugene and Lillian, and her brother Peter. Barbara is survived by her remaining 9 siblings, her 22 nieces and nephews, and their children and grandchildren.

Barbara's top two loves were music and art. She loved country music and gospel music and would sing along, sometimes at the top of her lungs and always a little off key (just like her Dad). She loved writing poetry and creating art of all kinds, drawing, painting, pottery, and photography. Music and art gave her joy and she shared that joy with the rest of us. Barbara will remain forever in our hearts and in our memories.
