Barbara Ping Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Washburn-McReavy Funeral Chapels - Edina on Jul. 2, 2021.
Ping, Barbara A. Age 57 of Saint Louis Park.



It is with great sorrow that we find ourselves facing the unexpected and devastating loss of our beloved and cherished Barb in the early morning of June 24th with her loving husband Jim at her side. Barb was known for having the rare qualities of a brilliant mind, razor-sharp wit, an appreciation of the absurd, combined with the biggest of hearts, deep compassion and fierce loyalty to her "people" and her fur kids (her beloved pets). She dedicated 23 years of her work life to Bellboy Corporation and will be missed by many on both a personal and professional level.



She was preceded in death by her adored father Ron Ping (a brief two years ago). Barb is irreplaceable and leaves a gaping hole in the hearts of her beloved husband, Jim Boddy, her mother, Jane Ping, her sister and partner in crime, Deb Plutt, adored nephew and niece Nick Plutt and Julie Plutt, step daughters Cassandra Welsh (grandson Remi), Nicole Boddy, and Katrina Kensy as well as her priceless and pampered kitties, the Bumble Brothers (Instagram: the_bumble_brothers). She also leaves behind many extended family, friends, and coworkers who miss her deeply.



A "Celebration of Life" service to remember Barb, share stories, laughter and tears will be held 7/18 - 1:00 at the Metropolitan Clubroom - 5418 Wayzata Blvd, Golden Valley, MN 55416



In lieu of flowers (celebration venue cannot accept flowers), memorials are preferred to Angel of Hope Animal Rescue http://www.aohrescue.org/donate.
