Barbara Wattman

Happy Birthday dear Barbara! You are enjoying the most wonderful birthday with our Lord and Savior, Jesus. But how I miss you. Barbara and I have been friends since we were 3 or 4 years old. We lived across the alley from each other in Evanston until her family moved to "north" Evanston. We lost contact for a while, but through Barbara's persistence reestablished our correspondence, FaceTime, phone calls, and letters. I so miss talking with you today.
Sincere sympathy to her family and...

Barbara was a loyal member of our lector ministry at St. Mary's Cathedral for a few years and I got to know her then. She was so thoughtful, respectful and friendly. My sympathy to her family and friends. May she rest in peace.

She was a kind, hard working person. I knew her from Catholic care center. She was always someone I could depend on in any situation, good or bad. She enjoyed listening to Loretta Lynn with the residents during lunchtime. She always spoke her mind.
She will be missed.

I was in a bridge group with Barb in the 70s. I knew her to be a gentle soul, and always concerned for the less fortunate. Her art and your memories will live on. The world is less for her passing.

Sending my sincere condolences to Barbara's family and many friends. She was an amazing woman. I worked with her when she was a legal assistant at the McDonald Tinker law firm in the early 90s. That was just one of the many things she excelled in during her lifetime. She was always so friendly and kind. And a good and faithful servant of the Lord.

I spoke with Barbara regularly over the past couple of years because my dog Lola loves her dog Ebba! We could not walk past her home without Ebba bolting into the backyard to see Lola. Barbara would soon follow, and she and I would share wonderful stories as the dogs played. Our walks will never be the same now. RIP Barbara; we will miss you dearly.

Barbara was a wonderful soul. She was so sweet, loving, and intelligent. I am so privileged that I got the opportunity to work with her at Catholic Care. We would talk the entire shift about any and everything. She was always talking about her family and she was always asking about my newborn child at the time. She cared so much for the residents as well as everyone else.
