Barbara Ellen Klopp, 63, of Muhlenberg Township, entered into God's eternal rest Monday, May 16, 2016, in the surrounding love of her family.

Born on April 14, 1953, in Pottsville

Hospital, she was a daughter of Helen B. (Heffner) Kuhn, of Muhlenberg Township, and the late Harry M. Kuhn. She was the wife of Richard D. Futchko, who died April 29, 1977.

Barbara was a 1971 graduate of Schuylkill Haven High School and a 1974 graduate of The Reading Hospital School of Nursing.

She was employed several years as a registered nurse in the Birth Center of the Reading Hospital and later worked as a medical transcriptionist, last working in February.

Barbara loved the seashore, especially Wildwood, N.J., and she traveled to most all of the country's states.

She was the hostess for most all of the special holidays.

Barbara loved her family deeply and she cherished each one.

She is also survived by a son, Jeffrey R., husband of Emese (Molnar) Futchko, of Maidencreek Township,

Other survivors include two grandchildren, Caiden A. Futchko and Abigail Z. Futchko, both of Maidencreek Township, and her former spouse, Gene L. Klopp.

The love in our family grows strong and deep, leaving us memories to treasure and keep.
