Barbara Eddings

November 30, 1945 — August 27, 2013

Barbara Lynne Eddings was born on November 30, 1945, in Kansas City, Missouri to Robert Martin and Caroline Elizabeth Bornowski. Barbara went to be with the Lord on August 27, 2013.

She graduated from Raytown High School in Raytown, Missouri, and took accounting classes at Johnson County Community College. Barbara is survived by her sister, Debra Diane Ruse and brother-in-law, James K. Ruse. She is also survived by one nephew, Justin Timothy Trabert and his husband Tedd Trabert, one niece Laura Elizabeth VanGeothem and her husband Darral VanGoethem, and one niece, Jennifer Lynn Ruse.

She married Eddie Leon Gooch on November 27, 1963, and they had one son, Robert Sheldon Gooch. Robert and his wife, Kate, have given Barbara two wonderful granddaughters Jordan Elizabeth Gooch and Sydney Caroline Gooch.

On June 12, 1977, she married Michael Richard Klein and they had one daughter, Sara Michele Quirk. Sara and her husband, Jonathan, have given Barbara two wonderful grandsons Jonathan Blake Quirk and Alec Sheldon Quirk. Barbara also gained a granddaughter, Crystal Kay Quirk, upon Sara and Jon's marriage.

On January 26, 1999, Barbara married William Wayne Eddings. Upon her marriage to Bill, she gained four children; William Wayne Eddings, Jr., Michael Lee Eddings, Melissa Michelle Eddings and Scott Ervin Eddings. Billy and his wife, Dawn, gave her five more grandchildren; Melissa Dawn Robertson, Kimberly Ann Robertson, Brandon Michael Eddings, William Marcus Eddings and Taylor Jordan Eddings, together with two great-grandchildren, Sierra Beerbower and Khail Beerbower. Michael Eddings, and his wife, Jennifer, gave her three wonderful grandchildren; Hannah Robin Eddings, Lindsey Michelle Eddings and Benjamin Michael Eddings. Scott Eddings, and his wife, Jody, gave her two more wonderful grandchildren; Tanner Dalton Eddings and Bailee Nicole Eddings.

Barbara worked for ten years as an insurance agent for Dave Goodman with State Farm Insurance in Olathe, Kansas, before her retirement.

Her greatest joy in life and reason for living was her husband, children, grandchildren, sister, family and friends. When her health wasn't an issue she enjoyed spending time at their lake home and being able to spend time with all of her loved ones. She will be missed by all of her family and friends, but we know that she is now living a pain free life with the Lord.
