Barbara Guernsey Obituary
Barbara Irene Guernsey, 83, passed away on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at Autumn Trace Assisted Living, Plymouth.
She was born on April 6, 1942, in LaPorte, Indiana, and was the daughter of Lesler and Verma (Short) Schoff. She graduated from Hamlet High School with the class of 1959. Barbara married Wilbert at Eagle Creek Church in Knox on October 14, 1962.
Barbara was someone who was always happy, sweet, and giving towards others. She was one to never complain and endured through all of her trials. Barbara enjoyed just being with Wilbert in everything from traveling, visiting the 49 states, or going out to eat together, an avid reader who enjoyed her Danielle Steele Books. She and Wilbert attended Journey Church in Plymouth.
