Barbara Britton

 

Barbara Ellen (Schoenfelder) Britton of Crawford was born Monday, April 13, 1942 in Kimball, South Dakota to parents Joseph A. and Kathryn (Blasius) Schoenfelder. She was the youngest of eight children. She is survived by her husband of 33 years, Dale Britton; sons, Edwin (Lisa) Moran, Clinton Moran, Steven Moran; and daughter Nichole Moran plus three three step kids; Sandi Smith, Barbara (Rob) Wolf, and Kevin Britton. Barbara is also survived by one sister, Kay (Schoenfelder) Isburg, 15 grandchildren, 12w great grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews. 

 

Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Dorothy (Schoenfelder) Alsgaard; heaqr brothers Gib Schoenfelder, Earl Schoenfelder, Jim Schoenfelder, and Jerry Schoenfelder; three infant siblings, and one grandson.

 

Barbara was proud to have completed her Bachelor of Science in Real Estate at Chadron State College in 1990. After marrying Dale she moved to the farm with him in rural Dawes County and absolutely loved every aspect about it, especially the baby calves when they were running around, bucking with their tails in the air. She was also a true Huskers fan with not only keeping the stats of her beloved team but the stats of every other team in the devision so she knew exactly who her team was up against. Sometimes Dale would have to go check on the cows because Barb was overly excited and loudly watching the game. Barbara was also an avid and talented quilter who won many ribbons at the County Fair with her fabric art. Barbara will be missed sorely by her many friends and loved ones.
