Barbara was born Sept. 29, 1935, in St. Anthony, Idaho, to Martin Alonzo "Tex" Hamberlin and Ida Venice Nave. She lived in Idaho until she was 12 years old when her family moved to Brigham City, Utah. She spent many enjoyable years there, and especially enjoyed her time at Box Elder High School where she developed lifelong relationships with many dear friends. Her family later moved to Lewiston, Utah, where she graduated from North Cache High School in 1953.
Barbara married Dale Gardner and moved to California where four of her beautiful children were born. They later divorced and she married Jack Beach, who had a son Elvin, and later they had two more children together. In 1966 the family moved back to Cache Valley and she lived out the rest of her life raising her happy family.
Barbara spent many years working and making good friends waitressing. She also worked many years at Wurlitzer Piano, spent several years in Pennsylvania working for the Sohmer Piano Corporation and later retired from Herff Jones in Logan, Utah. Her favorite parts of work were the friends she made along the way, and seeing someone happy with the work she had done.
She had a magical talent for furniture restoration and working with wood which she shared with many people and businesses. Mom will be remembered most for the gift of love and generosity she shared with everyone and the way she cared so deeply for the welfare of her large family.
Barbara is survived her by her children Buff (Laura) Gardner of North Logan, DeLaine (Shawn) Lawlor of Logan, Jeri (Doug) White of Smithfield, Nikki Long of Logan, Linda Holland of Hyrum and Doug (Jennifer) Beach of North Logan; sister Bonnie Foltz of Providence; brother Mike (Christine) Hamberlin of Alamogordo, N.M.; sister Marie LaNae (Jim) Dial of Hyrum; 20 grandchildren and 35 great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, sister Judy Loftus, son Elvin Beach and grandchildren Zak Miller and Andi Kim Allred.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 19, 2013, in the Logan 29th Ward chapel, 792 N. 500 East in Logan, Utah. A viewing will be held for friends and family from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday and 10 to 10:45 a.m. Saturday at the Logan 29th Ward chapel. Funeral and graveside services will be under the direction of Bishop Craig Patterson of the Logan River 4th Ward. Interment will be in the Logan City Cemetery.
