Barb passed away peacefully at home Monday evening, February 15th, with her husband, Barry, by her side. Barb was born near Krosno, Poland on July 20, 1946. She was the middle child of six. In 1959, Barb immigrated to the United States, where she was adopted by Joseph (Joe) and Clara Pelczar. She lived in Milwaukee with her family, including her brother Robert (Bob). She attended Rufus King High School, graduating in 1964. On November 26, 1966, Barry and Barb married. They have 2 daughters, Tracy and Tanya. Mom worked as a waitress at Big Boy's on Mayfair Road, followed by many happy years at Kohl's Food Store, in the bakery department. Barb loved to talk with her customers and she enjoyed her Kohl's co-workers. Our home was never without fresh bakery. After retirement, Barb and Barry moved up to the cottage on Lake Camelot. Mom gardened in the "wild area" under the pines and would have rummage sales, we think more for the social aspect rather than actually selling anything. We will remember our Mom's penchant for talk, love of flowers which she got from her father, Joe, and her dedication to family, especially to her grandchildren, Gillian and Sullivan (Sully). She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Barry; daughter Tracy, granddaughter Gillian; and daughter and son-in-law Tanya, Joe and grandson, Sully. She is also survived by her brother Bob, sister-in-law Suzy, nephew Danny and niece Jennie. Per Mom's wishes, no formal funeral will be held. We will gather in her memory this summer when the flowers are in bloom. "Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower." We love you and miss you. XOXO
