Barbara Carol Costigan, devoted daughter of our Father in heaven, wonderful mother, loving wife, doting grandmother and friend of all, died Aug 29th, 2017 in her home amongst her loved ones. She lived in Niwot, CO since 1972.
Born in Winnetka, Illinois, on October 12, 1937. Barbara grew up with her brother Charles Lobb, mother Urazelle & father Lloyd Lobb in Deep Haven, Minnesota. Barb loved teaching, ice skating, art, swimming, caring for animals she was also an avid skier. She went to college at the University of Minnesota, where she earned a teaching degree. Taking a year off, she canoed the Boundary Waters, skied around the world, then moved to Colorado where she pursued her love of the outdoors as a ski patroller at Loveland Ski Resort. Teaching elementary art during the school year and working as a lifeguard in summer in Denver, CO, she met Donald Costigan, her husband, poolside, wink, wink. Soon after a stint as a military librarian in France they married, then moved to Evergreen, CO. They had three lovely children Christine, Jennifer & Brett. Barbara & her family spent most of their years in Niwot, CO.
She was a friend to all, making EVERYONE she came in contact with feel important. She served tirelessly through her church and home, to those in need, teaching children, through prayer, giving to many others, working for the Lord around the globe. She continually inspired us all through her unfailing faith, compassion, even while challenged with her own physical limitations and life-long illness.
