Barbara is survived by daughters Courtenay Hrubesky and Elizabeth Schneider, daughter-in-law Pamela Key, son-in-law Marc Schneider, granddaughters Sara and Molly Schneider, sisters Helen Hamilton of Peoria, IL, Elaine Maloney of Green Bay, WI, and Kathy Mauger of Chatham, IL, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Barbara loved her family and was an active part of her granddaughters’ lives. She enjoyed bowling with a group for seniors and having lunch with friends. Barbara was an active volunteer with a number of organizations, including the Bend library and the Humane Society. She also spent time reading (she was in two book clubs), knitting, and gardening. Upon retiring to Bend, OR, in 2007, she joined the Newcomers Club there and took up hiking and snowshoeing. She worked at various companies as a secretary, word processor, and administrative assistant for many years in Chicago and Los Angeles. Her young adulthood included adventures in Miami and San Francisco before marrying Walter Hrubesky on January 2, 1970, and moving to Chicago to start a family. Born on June 15, 1943, to the late Agnes (Kocha) and Anton Lafek in Green Bay, WI, Barbara grew up at what was then the edge of town, and graduated from West High School in Green Bay in 1961. Barbara Mary (Lafek) Hrubesky, 79, died on October 6, 2022, in Bend, OR, after a quiet and valiant battle with lung cancer.
