Barbara Jean Rominger

Barbara Jean Rominger, 90, passed away on August 9, 2020. She was born March 10, 1930 in Blakesburg, IA to Vern and Alma (Doty) Schoech.

Barb and James made their lifelong commitment in 1946. Barb was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. Barb could always put on the best events, she was truly an equal partner in James’s success in both business & life. She was also a skilled Rummy, Yahtzee & Scrabble player and taught all her children and grandchildren how to lose at those games. She loved to read & travel to visit family. She made some bucket list trips to Switzerland & Aruba before Alzheimer’s robbed her of her memories.
