Barbara retired from the Yakima VFW club in Yakima where she made numerous friends. Barbara excelled in art while in high school and won several awards for her expressive drawings. Her main goal in life was to make sure her 6 children had what they needed, giving her all for them. Her children were her life, they completed her life. Barbara had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh. Her last wish was to have her boys with her at the end. She got her wish as De has been by her side since mid-May as well as Mark and Dan and Herb arrived in early June. She passed peacefully and will be truly missed. A family gathering to celebrate her life will be held in the immediate future. Barbara was preceded in death by her ex-husband, Herbert N. Schwenk Jr, her daughter Donna Schwenk Sills Denton, and her son Douglas Schwenk. The family wishes to express their gratitude to Garden Village and their superior staff for providing excellent hospice care.
