On June 24, 1962 Barbara was united in marriage to Gerald Hauser in Mexico. This union blessed the couple with two sons and two daughters, whom together they raised in California. In 1987, the family moved to New Ulm. In her younger days, Barb enjoyed bowling and playing pool. Later in life, she like to bake, cook, can garden vegetables, and shop.
