Barbara D. Van Ark

When I first met Barb (while working my first Lions Ham & Bean fundraiser), I asked her if she worked outside her home. She told me her job was volunteering to help others where needed. Little did I know at the time, how much time Barb spent in her volunteer work. She was an inspiration to all the females in the Jefferson City Host Lions Club. As years went on, I got to know both Barb and Bob very well and our friendship grew. Barb will be missed by many.

I loved serving with Barb as a Lion with the Jefferson City Host Lions Club. She was a wonderful Lion! I am blessed to have known her and served with her.
