02 Jan 1934 – 12 Aug 2024
Barbara Cherry, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend graduated to her heavenly home on August 12, 2024 at the age of 90.
Barbara was born on January 2, 1934 in Danville, Illinois. When asked for her date of birth, she enjoyed saying “one, two, three, four” and she also would add “My mom did good.” The start of her childhood was on the family farm in Illinois until the family relocated to Southern California in 1946. She took secretarial courses in high school and worked in that field for many decades. When she and her family moved to Yreka in 1973, she did secretarial work for Ohlund’s Office Supply and the Elks Lodge. She retired from her job as a personnel clerk at the Klamath National Forest Service after 15 years. Her gifts of meticulous attention to detail and extreme typing speed were valuable assets in her career.
