Barbara Marie Bingham was born October 26, 1943, in Alpena to the late H. Richard and Esther (Reynolds) Bingham. On August 25, 1962, she married Terry Thomas and what followed was 61 storybook years of forever together until Terry's death on January 28, 2024.
Barbara graduated from Alpena Community College and later earned her bachelor's degree from Lake Superior State University. She retired as a Commercial Loan Lender from Citizens Bank.
Surviving are Barbara's two daughters, Catherine (Thomas) Hendricks, Carolyn (Glen) Daoust; five grandchildren, Allysha Losinski, Spencer Losinski, Jesse (Kaylee) Hendricks, Ryan (Alli Rouleau) Hendricks, Ashley (Joe) Hutek; 2 great grandsons, Lucus Casebier & Hayden Hutek; siblings, Phyllis (Richard) Genschaw, Jay (Linda) Bingham; numerous nieces and nephews.
Barbara, aka "Grams", had two great joys in life, first and foremost was family, and her second biggest joy was spending time at the Rivers Edge Golf Course with Terry and/or her golfing "buddies". When not enjoying time with family and golfing, Barbara could be found in her favorite chair with a good book as she was a veracious reader. Barbara will always be remembered for her calm and kind demeanor along with being a very selfless, loving and supportive mother and grandmother.
Memorial visitation will take place Friday, August 9, at Bannan Funeral Home from 2 p.m. until the memorial service at 4 p.m. with Rev. John Shipman officiating.
