Mrs. Barbara Lou Correll

December 3, 1926 - March 14, 2015

Correll, Barbara B. Passed away peacefully Saturday, March 14th after a long, happy, fun-filled life. Loving wife of 62 years to Don Correll, exceptional mother to Ken (Laura) Correll, Kay (Stu) Pickens and Cheri (Karl) Hagnauer, and fun-loving “Nonnie” to ten cherished grandchildren, as well as a wonderful aunt, cousin and friend to so many. Perhaps best known for her relentless optimism, enthusiasm and zest for life, Barb made a lasting impression on all who met her. Opinionated, funny, feisty and fun, she had that rare ability to face life’s obstacles and heartbreaks with tenacity and humor, and see the good in most situations and all people. She was a performer at heart, and enjoyed singing with many groups, including “The Sentimental Six.” She also enjoyed travelling the world with Don, visiting all fifty states and countless countries, collecting memories and friends along the way. The world is not only shaped by the famous, but maybe even more importantly by the "regular" people who simply, through their love, make the world a better place. Barb will be greatly missed. Services: Funeral Service Tuesday, March 17th, Valhalla Funeral Chapel, 7600 St. Charles Rock Road. Visitation 10 a.m., Service 11 a.m., private burial. Memorial donations may be made to Parkinson’s Disease Foundation, Alzheimer’s Association, or charity of your choice.
