In Memory Of
Barbara J. "Barbie" Eichenberg
1948 - 2021

Barbara "Barbie" Jean Eichenberg, 73, a longtime resident of Toledo, Ohio was received in glory at Hospice of Northwest Ohio on April 13, 2021.

A baby-boomer born in Garden City, Michigan to William & Dorothy; kid sister to brothers, William and Phillip. In the mid-seventies, married Kenneth Eichenberg in Bedford Township, Michigan and were married 26 years before his passing close to 19 years ago. Graduated from Robichaud Senior High School in the late sixties, and in the early nineties completed a course at Stautzenberger College for Child Care Studies.

She enjoyed bingo games and the company of good friends at the Chester J. Zablocki Senior Center. Reading history and romance novels, Guideposts and Reader’s Digest magazines, and last and most importantly her bible and religious devotionals. A born and raised Baptist, she enjoyed memberships to many churches throughout her life; such as Lewis Avenue Baptist and Toledo Baptist Temple/Wyldewood.

Left to cherish her memory are her children; son-in-law; many nieces, nephews and in-laws.

Barbara now goes to be with her husband, Kenneth; parents, William and Dorothy; cousins Marlene, Bonnie, Keith and Suzanne; sisters-in-law, Florence, Ida, Joann and Mary; brothers-in-law, Henry, Donald and Ray; cats Joey, Billy and Angelwing.

The family will receive guests Monday, April 19, 2021 from 2:00 - 7:00 p.m. at Newcomer Cremations, Funerals & Receptions - SW Chapel, 4752 Heatherdowns Blvd. (419-381-1900). Funeral Services will begin Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. at the funeral home. Burial will follow at Historic Woodlawn Cemetery, Toledo.

The family would like people to consider donating sometime this year to either the American Parkinson Disease Association and/or The Michael J. Fox Foundation.

ECHOES SPEED ON!
Now, take your flight as winged birds,
And soar the heights of time In chime,
To find your way, as yesterday,
To every age and clime, As rhyme.
And if you fail in soaring thus,
We count you nothing more, Or lower
Than echoes fair, as gone somewhere
On atmospheric lore, To soar.
As distance weakens Echo's voice,
So Time may deaden you, How true!
Yet o'er the height you've taken flight,
As heard by some who do Know you.
