Barbara Lee Huber

Barbara Lee Huber, 91, of Carmel, lived a full life up until the time of her passing on July 31, 2022.  She was born in Indianapolis, IN on February 28, 1931, to Leo and Beatrice (Kaiser) Bracken.

She graduated from Broad Ripple High School.  During her career, she worked as a project coordinator at Walker Research Inc, where she retired in 1985.

Barbara met her husband, Robert “Bob” Huber, while in high school and they have been married for the past 71 years and together for 75 years.  From this union three children were born: Jim, Karen, and Lee.  Barbara and Bob enjoyed camping and traveling together.

She was a den mother for the Cub Scouts, was involved with a travel study club, and was also a member of the Common Threads Quilt Club, where she served as president.  Barbara was a talented quilter, having made quilts for her three children, five grandchildren, her two sons-in-law, and daughter-in-law.

Barbara had a love for birds, nature, and working in the garden.  She also loved to read – particularly autobiographies.  She enjoyed playing bridge with her high school chums once a month.  She was a wonderful cook, who loved to experiment with meals (which her daughters inherited).

Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, and sister, Shirley Eller.

She is survived by her husband, Bob; children, Jim (Jan) Huber, Karen (John) Ross, Lee (Jim) Gullett; grandchildren, Mandy Huber, Robin Huber, Brian Ross, Arie Gullett, Evan Gullet; great grandchildren, Addison Huber, Kayla Ross; and other extended family members and friends.
