Krueger, Barbara J.
Barbara J. Krueger, age 86, was called early Wednesday morning, April 25, 2017 to be reunited with her husband and the love of her life who she has missed for 36 years.
The former Barbara J. Berkedal was born on July 3, 1930 in Manitowoc, daughter of the late Olaf and Myrtle (Gunderson) Berkedal. She graduated with the class of 1948 from Manitowoc Lincoln High School, then attended St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN and also attended and graduated from Beauty School in Green Bay. On June 21, 1952 Barb married Wilfred "Bud" Krueger in Manitowoc. He preceded her in death on December 12, 1981.
Barb was a loving mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend. She had an undeniably strong faith and it resonated in her daily under takings. She contributed to the church choir with her beautiful alto voice for 80 years, and also enjoyed the many years she attended Bible Study at First Lutheran Church. She also brought her cooking talent to church by planning and serving funeral luncheons for 30 years. She loved having ice cream with her care-giver and friend Cheryl Burke, her favorite flavor, butter pecan. Barb and her family enjoyed almost 60 years at the family's cottage at Whispering Sands Resort on Sand Bay, where she made many more friends and created wonderful memories. Barb was an incredible cook and many holidays and celebrations found her in the kitchen preparing a fabulous meal with a smile on her face.
Barbara shared a sweet smile with everyone she met. She handled her many health issues with grace and courage. Barb was considered by those she encountered to be kind, considerate and caring.
