Barbara J. Scheiber

Barbara Joanne Scheiber, 90, of Dodge Center, formerly of West Concord, died on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at Fairview Care Center in Dodge Center with her family by her side.

She was born March 21, 1935, in Jackson, Minnesota, to Marvin and Audrey (Tursky) Kienietz. Barbara attended school in Lakefield before being united in marriage to Arlyn Alvin Scheiber on March 31, 1955, in Worthington, Minnesota. Barbara stayed at home and took care of the children until they moved away. After her and Arlyn were empty nesters, she worked at the Triton School District, holding many different roles from teacher's aide to the lunchroom. In her free time, Barb made homemade jewelry, and many other crafts. Most of all, Barbara loved to spend time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She would look forward to spending the holidays and celebrations with her family in a well decorated house to celebrate the event.
