Barbara Whitmore Obituary

Whitmore, Barbara Passed away on Saturday, September 8, 2018 at the age of 63. Wife of Lee Huempfner. Sister of Lori (Charles Gonzales) Whitmore. Preceded in death by her parents, John and Clara, and sister Juli. Barb recently retired from Quarles and Brady after 20 years. During her four year battle with cancer she remained a devoted fan of the Green Bay Packers, the Oregon Ducks, and the Utah Utes sports teams. Throughout her life she adopted many cats, including the three she leaves behind. Barb loved animals, so memorials in her name to Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah are appreciated.

I went to Trinity grade school with Barbie" from 1st thru 8th grade. We walked home from school more times than I could possibly count. She taught me how to subtract in math. She was a genius. My prayers are with her family. I believe she is with Jesus...no more pain. Very Sincerely , Deb Wiederhoeft

Lee:

We met several years ago when Barb asked me to notarize some documents for the two of you. I have been gone from Q&B for awhile now and recently found out about Barb's passing. Barb was a delight to work with. I would call her many times for those "rush new matters" that she always took care of cheerfully and quickly, (even though she would laughingly give me that "you again" greeting). Barb was generous too, sharing any treats she had when I would have to go up to records or showing me the drawers where they were kept. It was always a pleasure to interact with Barb, she was upbeat, funny and just plain sweet. You and Barb are truly in my thoughts and prayers.

Summer is over now but not forgotten. Neither are you forgotten.

I recently just found out the passing of Barb, from fellow worker at Q&B and like to give my condolence.
She was a character at times, would like to kid me about different things, pleasant to work with. Both of us retired at the same time. May God be, with you all during your time of grief.

I loved working with Barb over the years at Q&B. She was such a pleasure to deal with and always cheerful and kind. I cannot say enough positive things about her without creating volumes! She will be missed.
