Barbara L. Todt, born to the late Walter and Bessie Oldendorf, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones in thoughts and prayers on April 17, 2024. She was the dedicated wife of the late Jules Todt, loving mother to Karen Morris (Todt) the late Paul R Todt and mother-in-law to Justin Morris. Barbara was a cherished grandma to Zaie and Rinni Brinker, and a beloved aunt to Christopher (Jenna) Todt. She was also a best friend to Darlene Reinheimer and Carol Jaby.

Barbara had a passion for life and enjoyed several hobbies. She loved doing yard work, spending time in her garden, and tending to her plants. Her skillful hands were equally adept at sewing, creating beautiful garments and quilts. In her downtime, Barbara found solace in watching her favorite TV shows, often sharing laughter and tears with her loved ones. She was a very private person, even though she liked having company, she enjoyed her alone time, all way up to the end because that is how she wanted it.

Her memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew her. Barbara L. Todt leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and cherished moments. May she rest in peace.
