Barbara is survived by her daughter, Melissa (Kent) Etter; grandchildren, Cayla (Chris) Simons and Rey Etter; sister, Caroline Baker; as well as numerous extended family members and friends.

Along with her parents, she is preceded in death by her sons, Michael Richard Wieland and Terry Wieland; and siblings, Hansel Eagle, Jewell Shuler, and Fairl Zurbuchen.
