Barbara Enberg

We mourn the passing of our beloved Barbara. She died at home with her family beside her. She is now in the presence of our Lord and Savior at peace and without pain. Born and raised in Everett, WA to Emery and Gladys Bush. She met the love of her life in kindergarten class and knew that he would be the man she would marry. They both grew up happily participating in the Everett Trinity Lutheran congregation. They lived in Edmonds for 25 years and then moved to Whidbey Island in 1993 where they found a for ever community with the Freeland Trinity Lutheran Church. They loved to travel around the world and visited many countries. They also enjoyed boating, fishing, and being members of Sandy Hook community for many decades. She got much enjoyment from the garden club and book club that she was part of, she especially loved the friend ships and laughs from her Mahjong group where she jokingly referred to herself as "The ATM". She is survived by her loving husband of 60 wonderful years, Randy, and there two daughters Jodi Strohm (husband Roger) and Susie Fallows (husband Keith). Her proudest title was that of "Nana", Barbara had three wonderful and devoted grand boys, Kelby Strohm, Aden Fallows (wife Rica Tro), and Luca Fallows. She is also survived by her sister Kathv Granger and her brother Ken Bush. Barbara was preceded in death by her parents Emery and Gladys Bush, her sisters Claudia and Carol Risen. and her brothers John and Timothy Bush.
Along with her devotion to her friends and family, Barb spent much of her life volunteering for many organizations and felt a calling to give in service. In lieu of flowers, you may honor her memory with a gift to a charity of your choice, or if you are so inspired, with a commitment to volunteer.
Barbara will be laid to rest in internment at Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland, WA. There will be a memorial service honoring her life on Saturday, August 23rd at 11AM please join us in celebrating her beautiful life.
