Barbara K. Cowdery

Barbara Kimball Cowdery's life was a tour de force. She lived life to the fullest for 88 years. On Sunday morning July 23, 2017, she died peacefully in her sleep next to the love of her life, Roger. Although her accomplishments and activities were significant and diverse, her pride and joy was her family. We carry in our hearts the memory of her sparkling eyes, her spirit and energy, her generosity and love. (In keeping with her modesty we will not boast of her strong cross court tennis shot.)

She is survived by her husband Roger, children Dottie (Mark Bruns), Bob (Dawn Hoff-Cowdery), Sue (Wolfgang Sachse), and her four beloved grandchildren, Carrie, Andrea, Trenner, and Pingan. A family memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: Brackett Refugee Education Fund (PO Box 8; Hamilton, NY 13346) (http://brackettfund.org).
