Barbara Clum Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 15, 2025.
Barbara Clum, our dear mother, grandmother, and great grandmother passed away at the age of 89 on New Year's Day. A day of sadness as she will be greatly missed but also of celebration for having the honor of knowing this amazing woman.

She was born in Chicago, Ill and was raised by her mother Agnes Yohe and her grandmother Rose Howard. She is survived by her brother John Yohe and she unfortunately lost her sister Sandra at a young age due to illness. She had a large family who she was proud of and grateful for. This included her four children Art Jr., John (deceased), Chuck, and Sandra; Along with many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and friends that were considered her family.

She was a woman who always had open arms, a warm, welcoming heart, and had a way of making everyone who knew her feel at home. Her laugh was contagious and she was very loving and accepting. She also had a little spunk when you would least expect it. She is leaving a huge hole in our lives but she also left us with an example of how to love deeply. She will never be forgotten.

"Three things will last forever - faith, hope, and love - and the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13

Barbara will be laid to rest with the love of her life, her husband Arthur, during a private service at the WA State Veteran's Cemetery on January 31st at 11:00 am followed by a public Celebration of Life at Longhorn Barbecue in Airway Heights at 12:30 pm.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Wreaths Across America, the WA State Cemetery, or Orchard Crest Memory Care.

Aunt Barbara was the sweetest lady. She always knew what to say when I was down. I loved when she shared stories about her and my Mom's adventures. Especially when they were little. She was my Mom's best friend. I will miss you Aunt Barbara

Aunt Barbara was my God Mother. We always had the best talks. Reminiscing about when she and my mom were younger. I loved all the stories. She will be missed and forever in my heart
