Barbara Canova Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on March 25, 2026, at the age of 86, Barbara Canova (Ankeny, Iowa), born in Omaha, Nebraska passed away. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Barbara Canova to pay them a last tribute.
As we bid Barbara farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Barbara is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Eugene Henry and Rose Henry (Pros); her husband D. B. "Spook" Canova; and her brother Tom Henry. She is survived by: her children, Dave Canova (Tammy), Sara Canova and Dan Canova (Dawn). She is also survived by her 9 grandchildren; and her 11 great grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers or gifts, donations can be made to Ankeny Dollars for Scholars in memory of Barb and Spook Canova.
