Age 86, passed away peacefully on January 10, 2024. Barb was born on January 25,
1937 in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan to Isabelle and Clark Milligan, moved to
Duluth at a young age, and lived there the rest of her life. In addition to her
parents, Barb was preceded in death by her husband Richard. She is survived by
her children Gary (Natalie), Scott (Sonja Helland), Keith (Mary), and Brenda
(Jeff) Cerkvenik, as well as grandchildren Derek, Nick, Jack, Mark, Laura, and
Eric, and many nieces and nephews. Barb was a true warrior over the past 5
years, bravely fighting through pain and health issues to continue to spend
quality time with her family and friends. Barb loved family, especially her
grandkids. Her greatest joy was being everyone’s fan at thousands of sporting
events. Outside of family, she treasured “Club ‘55” (Esther, Gerry, Jeanette,
the Judys, Kay, Marlene, Peggy, Phyllis, and Sharon) formed with her lifelong
friends and continued for the past 68 years. She enjoyed crafts such as sewing
and (later in life) painting, making her famous pancakes for the grandkids,
camping, fishing, travel and was always up for a new adventure. In addition to
being a homemaker, Barb was secretary at Lester Park and Lakeside elementary
schools, and the vo-tech. In retirement, she ran a grocery tape advertising
business, and enjoyed her time living at Real Life and Keystone Bluffs, where
she competed in cribbage, learned to play bridge and enjoyed the company of many
friends. She was a treasure to all who knew her and will be remembered fondly. A
Celebration of Life will be held from 2-4 PM on Friday, February 2 at the
Cremation Society 4100 Grand Ave., Duluth. In lieu of flowers, memorials to The
Dick Forbort Fund, ℅ Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation, 324 W Superior
St, #700, Duluth, MN 55802, are preferred.
