Barbara HOPPE Obituary

HOPPE, Barbara Ann 1946 - 2016 Barbara, a Tucson resident for 28 years, passed away from Pancreatic Cancer on June 28, 2016 at 69 years young. She was born in Taft, Ca. on September 28, 1946 to the late Lowell Clifford Reynolds and Ellen Ann Kenehan. She grew up in Los Angeles and graduated from Eagle Rock High School. A true California girl, she handed down her love of the beach, animals, and reading to her children Stephanie and Rich. She loved most of all spoiling and spending time with her family. Barbara was a very hard working, dependable, caring, kind and generous woman. She leaves a trail of people who's lives are better because of her, and she will live on in their hearts forever. She will be missed beyond words. Barbara lived a simple life and requested no services. Arrangements by ANGEL VALLEY FUNERAL HOME.

Dear Barb, Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel about your departure. I can not express how truly grateful I feel to have had the opportunity and pleasure of working with such a kind and wonderful human being. We love you, you'll be greatly missed. God Bless You Always!!

Barbara, this is your cousin Bonnie Lynn Kenehan, I will miss your E Mails and all of the discussions we had about the family we shared. You were one of the few people who knew our three Great Aunts, your mom and my dad plus our Uncle Marty. My life is less because you are not here but I look forward to seeing you in the future! Enjoy the streets of gold girlfriend!

There aren't enough pages of paper or space on the internet to express the way I really feel your loss! To say that you are missed is a terrible understatement. I will continue to live my life by your example, remembering the love and kindness, caring ways and simplicity in everything you did. You were never fussy and always had great attention to detail. You always took others' into consideration in the decisions you made. Your kindness was always extended to strangers, and you were so easy to please. Thank you for being the best mother, friend, sister and grandmother that all of us could ever ask for. Not a day goes by that I don't have a feeling that I forgot to call you or that I forgot some plans we had made. I guess that just means that I feel an empty space that I hope will eventually be filled with all of the great memories you helped me make. Loving you forever and ever and into paradise dear Mom!
