Barbara Sandberg Obituary
Born on Sept. 16, 1949, in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, she was the only child of Rees and Bernice Voss Damon. After graduating from high school, Barbara earned her bachelor's degree in sociology and dedicated her professional life to serving her community as an administrative assistant for Jackson County in Oregon.
On Oct. 14, 1978, Barbara united in marriage with Kenneth Sandberg in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 2014, she moved to Mountain Home from Medford, Oregon, where she continued to embrace community engagement and support.
A member of the First United Methodist Church and the Elks Lodge 1714 BPOE in Mountain Home, Barbara was also a passionate advocate for education and literature, serving as president of the Friends of the Baxter County Library. Her contributions to the library and the community will be fondly remembered by all who knew her.
Barbara leaves behind a wide circle of friends who loved her dearly.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Rees and Bernice Damon, and her husband, Kenneth Wayne Sandberg.
A Celebration of Life to honor Barbara's memory will be held at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2025, at Kirby & Family Funeral Home Chapel with Heather Marsalis serving as Life Celebrant.
