Barbara Bonnarens (NEE Riley) of Warrenton, Missouri, passed away peacefully in her home, surrounded by her family. Barb's greatest joy was spending time with her family and friends and cooking for them. She also found happiness in the beauty of her many gardens.

They also loved the Florida coastline and all the cities they stopped at along the way, attending Cardinal games and watching them on TV was a must. Barb held many jobs in her lifetime, but her best one was as OUR MOM. You will be greatly missed.

She is survived by four children, Craig (Carol), Barb (Frank) Yocum, Juli (Ed) Pilla, Kristie (Jonathan) Raasch, along with 3 grandchildren, Heather(Eric) Nanney, Evan & Nolan Raasch.
