It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Barbara Ann Zulinke November 2, 1943 – July 9, 2023
Barbara was a beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She peacefully passed away in the care of Hospice of Health First on Sunday July 9, 2023. She was born on November 2, 1943, the oldest of 5 children of Henry Kuklinski and Kathryn (Prenzel) Kuklinski in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Barbara was a devoted mother who dedicated her life to raising her children with love, care, and unwavering support. Her children were the joy of her life, and she took great pride in watching them grow. Barbara’s nurturing spirit and genuine kindness touched the lives of all who knew her.
Throughout her life, Barbara exemplified strength, resilience, and compassion. She faced life’s challenges with grace and a positive outlook, always finding ways to uplift those around her. Her silly sense of humor and infectious laughter brought comfort and happiness to family and friends alike.
Our Mom’s memory will forever be cherished by her children, as well as her extended family and friends. Her legacy of love, kindness, and compassion will continue to inspire and guide those who had the privilege of knowing her.
A celebration of life will be held at a future date to be determined. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to Hospice of Health First as a tribute to the wonderful care she received at the end of her life:
Though Barbara may no longer be with us in person, her spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved her. May she rest in eternal peace, forever surrounded by the love of her family and the memories they shared.
Peace and all good to you,
Barbara’s family
