She graduated from Tower Hill High School in 1964, two years after meeting the love of her life, Harold Hubner. April 30, 1965, she was married and fell more in love every day for over 51 years.

Barbara was inducted into the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). She was once active with Shelby County Civil Defense. Barbara was a long time member of the Henton Church of God. Barbara enjoyed making flower arrangements, spending time with family, and dining out. She was an incredible mother to two daughters and a loving wife and grandmother.
She is survived by her husband, Harold; daughters, Trudi Filchak of Moweaqua, IL and Deborah (Andrew Lambert) Davis of Rockford, IL; grandchildren, John and Samantha Filchak, Tiffany and Matthew Davis, and Alexander Lambert; brother, Charles (Carleen) Hardy of Tower Hill, IL; and sister, Linda Pritts of Dalton City, IL.

The family would like to give thanks to the Quad County Hospice, Dr. Benjamin Esparaz, all the nurses at Decatur Cancer Care, Pastor Mike Pritts, and the many family and friends that provided support, prayer, and food.
