Barbara passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 13, 2022, at Westbrooke Manor Assisted Living in Oshkosh, Wisconsin surrounded by her family. Barbara was born on September 29, 1938 and died at the age of 83.
She was preceded in death by her daughter Susanne T Granzow; parents, Bertilla and Leo Whipp; two sisters, Eileen Kaminski and Catherine Metz; and her former spouse, Wayne K. Granzow.

Barbara was a homemaker, a caregiver at Hillcrest Nursing home and a bank associate for Fox Lake Illinois State Bank. She enjoyed reading, tracing her family history, gardening, golfing, stargazing, camping, the Packers, the Brewers and especially her love for her dog Kismet.
Her most important job was that of a mother. She was an amazing mom who taught her girls to be strong, independent, persevere, to be kind and gentle, and to treat others with respect. She will be missed by all those whose lives she touched.
Mom (Gormie) until we meet again, rest in peace.
