Barbara Jean Hinze was born on Oct. 16, 1941, and died on April 6, 2026, at 84.
Barb’s spirit and sense of humor, even when making fun of herself, endeared her to many. Family was her highest priority. Barb kept an immaculate house. She was always available to support the children doing their homework in the evening, urging them to do their best. For recreation, she enjoyed fishing, never failing to catch the biggest fish. When the family settled in Siren in 2000, Barb continued to pursue her career in hairdressing.
Barb will be sorely missed by her son, Wesley; daughter, Wanda; grandson, Matthew; great-grandson, Marshall; and sisters, Shirley and Ginger. Barb’s parents; husband, Larry; and son, Lanny, preceded her in death.
Visitation for Barb was on Wednesday, April 15, at Grace United Methodist Church in Webster, Wisconsin, followed by the service. Commitment at the graveside at Lakeview Cemetery in Siren, Wisconsin, took place immediately following the service.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Swedberg-Taylor Funeral Home. Condolences may be shared online at swedberg-taylor.com.
