Barbara Warner Obituary

Barbara Ann Warner

Oct 26, 1937 - Dec 14, 2025

Oregon

With tender hearts, we share the news of the passing of our dear Barbara Ann Warner, who left us Sunday, December 14, 2025. She was born October 26, 1937, to the late Harold and Genevieve (Kuhn) Mellein.

Barb devoted her life to nurturing family and friendships. She found joy in visiting her family in Huron, especially camping in Marblehead, cherishing each moment spent with those she held dear. She had a love of reading that she carried on to her children and grandchildren.

Though Barb is no longer with us, her legacy of laughter, caring, and cherished memories lives on. She will be missed dearly by Charles Warner, her husband of 61 years; children, Stephen Warner (Nadine), Beth Warner-Sullivan, and Stacy (Kim) Warner; grandchildren, Jon (Katie) Arriaga, Michael (Katie) Desposito, Nolan, Holden, and Jett Warner-Sullivan; siblings, Joan Niermann, Marlene Ward, John (Debbie) Mellein, Jim (Ann) Mellein, and Dottie (Jack) LaPata.

She was preceded in death by her sister-in-law, Kathy Mellein and two brothers-in-law, Ted Niermann and Bob Ward.

Barb's memory will forever be a beacon of love and inspiration. May she rest peacefully, knowing how deeply she was loved.

Per family's request, there will be no funeral services.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Barb's name to your favorite charity. www.freckchapel.com
