Barbara Kish Obituary

Barbara Ann Kish, age 75, passed away unexpectedly at her home on Thursday, December 28, 2023, in Venice, Florida.

Barbara was an amazingly strong wife, mother, grandmother, and friend who battled lung cancer for the past 15 years. She was born in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan to Raymond & Jean Wicklund.

Barbara is survived by her husband of 54 years, Alan Kish, her daughters Kristin Davis and Brandie Kish, and her cherished grandchildren Colton, Zachary, and Kylee. She is also survived by her sisters Joan Shadnaw and Beth Wicklund, her brother, Kyle Wicklund, and her best friends of 50-plus years, Patsy Sherman & MaryGrace Frizzell.

She will be dearly missed by her family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched in some way with her kind and angelic nature.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Barbara Ann Kish at South Jetty Beach, Venice Florida, in honor of her memory.
