Barbara Dimmick Obituary

Barbara Ann Dimmick, a longtime Colorado Springs resident and prominent Real Estate Broker, passed away in her sleep Thursday October 14th 2010.

She is survived by husband Paul, daughters Heather and Kirsten, sons-in-law Dave and Jerry, grandchildren Richard and Catherine (Catie), and sister Janet. Barbara was active with various charities including: Silver Key, The American Cancer Society, Meals on Wheels, and the American Diabetes Association. Barbara was well known for her very generous nature and willingness to help others. She loved the chance her career gave her to truly help people with what she felt was one of the most important parts of their lives. Barbara is a past president of the Woman's Counsel of Realtors, and has earned the President's Circle Award of Excellence and the Leading Edge Award for Real Estate. Barbara was respected and loved by her fellow Real Estate Professionals and clients alike. Barbara was an avid gardener and gourmet cook. She loved being a part of a gourmet group that gave her a chance to make a wide variety of dishes as well as spend time with her friends. She loved to travel, was a voracious reader, and always tried to foster that love in others. She was known for being a supportive source of help and inspiration to all of her friends and family. Her bright, happy personality made her a beacon to all who knew her. Her loss will be deeply felt by the many people who were touched by her generosity, energy, and compassionate nature. A celebration of life will be held for her on Saturday October 23rd at Swan Law Funeral Directors at 1:00 pm with a reception to follow immediately after at the same location.

Barbara was the first person we met when we came to Colorado Springs. She made such a positive impression on us. Pam and I remember Barbara for her patience and positive attitude as we looked at house after house for several days. When Pam and I think of Barabra, we remember her big smile and friendliness. We are fortunate to have known Barbara and blessed that she was our realtor. God bless Barbara's family

We met Barbara before she moved to Prudential. She's been our realtor ever since and we've always recommended her to others. She had a way of making us feel special. We thought she was special! We'll miss her, we're so glad to have known her and so very sorry for yor loss.

To Barbara's family:
Barbara has been our thoughtful neighbor for 33 years. She frequently brought a seasonal gift to our door, a pumpkin, a flag, or a coupon for a free dinner. We will miss her friendly smile and kindness.

18 years ago, Barbara helped us in the decision to sell our home and purchase another. We will always remember her as a caring and honest person who wanted the best for us. It was an honor to know her and we are sincerely sorry for your loss. Jerry & Beth Johnson

Paul and family,
I worked with Barb at Prudential several years ago and officed across from her. What a helpful and delightful lady she was. She was a source of inspiration and I really enjoyed knowing her. I am sorry for your loss.

Paul and Family,
Barbara was one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I have ever known. Although I have not worked with her in a while I will always remember her smile, and kindness to others. She will be deeply missed. May God watch over you and your family, and may Barb be at peace with the Lord

Janet & family:

My heart aches for all of you as you grieve the loss of Barbara. She had that way of lighting up a room with her smile, her laugh, her love. I will never forget her - my "soul cousin" - and the times we had together. Thank you for sharing her with me. Love to you all.
