Barbara Gallaway Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our angel of a mom, Barbara Gallaway, 77, Moses Lake WA. on Monday March 24th 2025. She loved deeply and fought hard, we are heart-broken but we know now that she is no longer in pain and is at peace.
She was born on June 18th, 1947 in Renton WA. and was raised and educated in Moses Lake WA. On Jan. 8th 1966 she married childhood sweetheart Michael Gallaway in Coeur d'Alene ID. The couple made their forever home in Moses Lake where Barbara found her professional calling as a Librarian. She took great pride in establishing and growing "Baby Story Time", where she was able to watch and help many children find the same enjoyment in books that she experienced.
However, the most important thing to Barbara has always been being the best Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Daughter and Sister that she could be. She is survived by her three sons and daughters-in-law, Guy and Robin, Rick and Tasha, Mark and Tracy; six grandchildren, Stephanie (Travis), Dillon, Jackie, Courtney, Skyler, Sierra; five great grandchildren, Saya, Avery, Emma, Robbie, Axton; mother, Marty; sisters, Brenda (Rod), Linda (Bob).
A graveside service of commemoration to celebrate the life of Barbara Gallaway will be held on Friday April 4th, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Interment will be in the Valley View Memorial Park in Soap Lake WA. (20174 Road A NE). At Barbara's request, the casket will remain closed and there will be no viewing.
