Barbara Jean Heina (formerly Loitz) of Long Grove, IL passed away Monday, August 31, 2020 at Northwestern Hospital, Chicago, IL.

She was born October 3, 1951 in Woodstock to Arthur and Nancy Loitz (Dittman) of Woodstock, IL.

Barbara married Edward Heina on October 27, 1973 at St. Mary's Church in Woodstock. She attended McHenry County College for 2 years.

Rest in peace, dear friend. So many precious memories when we were young. The Carol King Red Rocks concert, climbing the rocks to see it for free. The holes in your pants from sliding down on the rocks after the concert was over. What memories from those days in Colorado! And more.
Love you, Barb!

In loving memory of a wonderful friend and classmate. We sure did share some fond memories and found a little mischief and giggles along the way. Barb was a bright light in this life. Sending my love.
