Barbara Jean Powers Obituary
With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Barbara Jean Powers of Des Moines, Iowa, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Barbara left this world on December 16, 2025 at the age of 85, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Barbara Jean Powers to show support.
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, Arthur N. Olson and Pauline Doris Olson. She is survived by: her cousin Joy Stair (Dan); and her goddaughters, Kerri Nowicki (Matt) and Wendy Roelke (Jesse).
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the Grace Lutheran Church Endowment Fund.
