1963 - 2013
Barbara Kathleen Green Shurtleff passed peacefully from this life on January 4, 2013, in her home after a long battle with a brain tumor. She was 49 years old. She was first diagnosed 16 years ago, but through her faith and the faith of others, she was able to raise her children and bless many people, despite her illness.
Barbara was born in Mesa, Arizona, on November 17, 1963, to Johnny and Lillian Green. She grew up in Joplin, Missouri, where she excelled in everything she did. She married Kevin Shurtleff on June 8, 1984, in the Salt Lake Temple. Barbara and Kevin were best friends and shared a deep and abiding love. They were blessed with five wonderful children, James, Brooke, Chris, Craig, and Beth. Barbara was a wonderful, dedicated mother. She enjoyed helping children and worked at Orchard Elementary School as an office assistant and recess duty. Barbara enjoyed playing games and doing puzzles, especially Boggle with her friends. She was an excellent volleyball, basketball, and softball player. As a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Barbara was a true disciple of Christ. She loved everyone and treated them with kindness.
Barbara is survived by her husband, her children, her granddaughter, Hadley Meyer; her son-in-law, Vince Meyer; her father, Johnny Green; in-laws, Leonard and Sandra Shurtleff; and many other family and friends.
