Barbara Carper Obituary
Barbara (Roman) Carper
April 27, 2021
Barbara (Roman) Carper, 80, of Owensboro, died Tuesday, April 27, 2021 at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital with her family by her side. Born in Geneseo, Illinois to the late Edward and Florence Roman, Barbara entered the nursing profession and quickly established herself as a well-respected, "people" nurse displaying her natural gift of compassion. As an even-tempered, yet warm and thoughtful person, Barbara would always remember anniversaries and birthdays, treating everyone like family. Barbara and Bob created many fond memories traveling all over the U.S. on motorcycle and in an R.V. as well as enjoying many hours of boating together with their children.
In addition to her parents, Barbara also was preceded in death by her brother, Dale Roman.
Those left to cherish her memory include her loving husband of 57 years, Bob Carper of Owensboro; four sons, Craig Carper (Tiffany) of Temecula, CA, Christopher Carper (Lisa) of Philpot, Eric Carper (Karen) of Owensboro, and David Carper of Louisville; seven grandchildren; sister, Sister Marilyn Roman of Rock Island, IL; dear cousin, Mike Roman (Debbie); several nieces and nephews.
A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Monday, May 3, 2021 at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Browns Valley.
Glenn Funeral Home and Crematory, Owensboro, Kentucky assisted the family.
Expressions of sympathy may take the form of contributions to St. Anthony Catholic Church, 261 St Anthony Rd, Utica, KY 42376.
