Barbara Greenman Obituary

GREENMAN Barbara Lee Greenman, 69, Pickerington, Oh., passed away August 8, 2009. Barbara was born March 29, 1940 in Highland Park, Mich. to the late Doris Glines Trickey and Charles Ray Trickey. She obtained a BS in Marketing and Business from the University of Illinois, but preferred to devote her full-time to being a wife and mom who loved and cherished her husband of 45 years, Gordon F. Greenman of Pickerington, Oh. and children, Scott C. Greenman of Salem, Mass. and Joanne L. Greenman of Pickerington, Oh. She also extended her love to other family: sister, Carol T. Linnig; cousin, Ginny Leeds (and husband, Frank); brother-in-law, Edward Greenman (and wife, Angela); nieces and nephew. Barbara was a devoted Christian Scientist who was active in her church, First Church of Christ, Scientist. She also enjoyed monthly luncheons and flower arranging with the garden club ladies. Barbara loved life including animals at the zoo, birds, traveling the US with her family, and maintaining friendships that lasted over 40 years. She will be deeply missed by those who loved her, but as she always reminded us, since we cannot be separated from the love of God, then we cannot be separated from each other! She continues to abide in heavenly Love. Contributions in her memory can be made to First Church of Christ, Scientist, 457 E. Broad St., Columbus, Oh. 43215 or to The Columbus Zoo, Attn. Justin McKinniss, P.O. Box 400, Powell, Oh. 43065. A memorial service and light luncheon for family and friends will be held August 30, 2009 at 2 p.m. at the Creekside Event Center in Gahanna. Arrangements by WEIR-AREND FUNERAL HOME, 614-268-3593.

It was always a treat to receive Barbara's beautifully handwritten letters and cards at Christmas and other special times. We did not see each other often due to living so far apart but we were so happy to have been with Barbara, Carol, Scott and Joanne the day prior to her passing. She has left two special children to carry on her legacy, a great tribute to Barbara and Gordon. Her love lingers.

In addition to what the obituary said so well, Barbara's personality was one of the things we will remember most about her. She was a person who laughed easily and enjoyed a good conversation. She was such a pleasant person. Her laugh will be missed.
