It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Barbara Ann Comstock, age 77, who departed this life on September 27, 2025. Born in Watertown, Wisconsin, on September 1, 1948, to James Comstock and Pauline Busalacchi.
A UW Milwaukee graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree, Barbara forged a long successful career as a manager at AT&T and a memorable position at Retzer Nature Center. She often spoke passionately about her love for reading, frequently visiting the Oconomowoc Public Library that sparked her creativity.

Barbara was a true animal lover, cherishing the companionship of both cats and dogs. Her pets brought her joy and comfort, serving as steadfast companions throughout her life. She will be remembered not just for her accomplishments but for her generous spirit and the warmth she extended to everyone she met.
