Barbara's Story
Since leaving school I was married to Royal Bricker my prom date that I met on a blind date set up by Anna Napolitano. We were married in Jan 78 and living in Southern California because he was a Marine on Camp Pendleton. I was pregnant with our first child when Roy was killed in an auto accident which brought me back to my family in Clarendon Hills.
I gave birth to our daughter April Dawn 4 months after I buried Roy. I lived with my parents for two years while I got back on with my life (emotionally, phyically, financially etc)
I met Michael my husband of 23 years in 1983 and we were married in 1986. He adopted my daughter and we went on to enlarge our family with Elliot-22 who e graduated from Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design with a degree in Architecture. He will be going onto graduate school at UW-Milwaukee for his Masters. Sydney - 21 is currently a student at College of Lake County getting her pre-req. for entering X ray Technician courses. She lives in the neighboring town. Andrew my baby, is 19 just graduated...Expand for more
from Carmel Catholic High School in May. He is now attending College of Lake County.
I am the proud Oma (german for Grandmother) of two beautiful children. April has given us Gennovah-5 and Boston - 4. April is expeciting baby three in November. She lives in Salt Lake, Utah with her husband Johnny. I do get out there every summer for a great visit and they come in at Christmas time. We send lots of emails and photo's to keep up with her busy life. We have just starting to skype which is really a blast.
I am a survivor of breast cancer (3 years) and pagets disease (cancer of the nipple). I have slowed down my life to take more time to relax and enjoy the small things. Cancer is not fun, but now I look at life a lot different than before.
I work with my husband who owns a Dental Lab. We enjoy hiking, camping, outdoors, gardening and we are the proud parents of two Eagle Scouts. We were very active behind and in front of the scene with their troop.
We travel when we can and are getting tired of the winters here in Illinois.
