Barbara Melvin

Barbara was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known. I worked with her for over 30 years at Eckrich. We use to see her and Jim at the stock car races often. I saw her shoot the rifle at a few funerals. I asked her how she could hold and shoot the rifle as it was as big as she was. She was always a favorite of mine. I will never forget her. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. We want to give our condolences to all of her family. God bless you all Don & Jan Ritsema.

Barb was a good friend and neighbor to many of us at the Covenant Church and my mother in law Norma Eggleston who lives close to her. I remember Barb doing Honor Guard for Steve Blades funeral at Ft Custer, she was very dedicated to it! RIP Barb!

Our family grew up across the street from Jim and Barb. They were the nicest people you could ever know. Barb graciously hired me as a college student at Eckrich. My mom will surely miss your talks on the phone. May you rest in peace. The Eggleston family

Our family grew up across the street from Jim and Barb. My siblings and I knew them our entire lives. They were the nicest people you could ever meet. Barb hired me as a college student to work at Eckrich. The last few years, she and my mother would talk weekly on the phone. She will be greatly missed! May you be restful in Heaven Barb!
