After a courageous fight with cancer, Barbara Kay Hallauer left Yakima on May 3, 2017 to be with her savior. Barb was born on July 22, 1940 at the Indian Hospital in Claremont, Oklahoma to Clarence Hartzog and Lucille McLish. She arrived in Yakima at the age of 6 after living in Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Tacoma.
For the next 70 years she made Yakima and the lower valley her home. Being the eldest of seven children created an enormous responsibility that developed her thoughtful, loving and nurturing character. Upon graduation from Wapato High School in 1958 she married James Hallauer of Wapato and began a career that included raising two sons, dozens of jobs, businesses, volunteer groups, women’s clubs and faith organizations.
While attending Yakima Valley College part time which led to an eventual Associate Arts degree, in 1976 she started The Findery, a Florist, Gift and Antique Shop. This set the tone for much of the rest of her life and allowed her to express her gifted and unique skills as an artist and designer. That expression also included a hobby show on TV as well as numerous other classes to teach and inspire others in arts and crafts.
The next 17 years included a close relationship with another gifted artist named Robert Tormey. Her expertise and desire to give back to the community led her to involvement in the Central Washington State Fair as a Superintendent and judge for many years in addition to writing a garden column for the Yakima Herald and volunteering for many other non-profit organizations. Her endless supply of energy and creativity, however, was not confined to artistic endeavors. It included brief businesses as diverse as care-giving, fruit brokerage, restaurants, and creating a singles network. Although her external beauty opened doors in modeling on television and in print, she was equally beautiful on the inside.
Throughout her life her faith remained a focal point and she truly cherished the many relationships her church membership, retreats, and bible study groups created. The positive impact, inspiration, and joy Barb created in so many lives by her example will be deeply missed.
She is survived by two sons, Doug Hallauer, Greg Hallauer and wife Diana Hallauer, grandsons Tyler, Ross and Blake Hallauer. She is also survived by brothers and sisters: Sharon Ough, Jim Hartzog, Robert Hartzog, Brenda Hooper and Michael Hartzog, numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents Clarence and Lucille Hartzog and Brother Herman Hartzog.
A celebration of life service will be held at the Grace of Christ Church, 9 South 8th Ave. on Friday, May 12th at Noon.
