Barbara Muzzy Obituary

Barbara Jane (Kuipers) Muzzy, beloved wife, mother, sister, and daughter was embraced in the arms of Jesus on December 11, 2013 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Barb was born to parents John and Phyllis Kuipers in Mitchell, South Dakota on August 13, 1956.

After graduating from Cheyenne Mountain High School in 1974, Barb attended Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado.

Barb had a long and outstanding career in the hotel industry-both in Denver and in Colorado Springs. Most recently, she was sales manager for the Antlers Hilton in Colorado Springs.

Family was of greatest importance to Barb. She enjoyed camping, fishing, and snowmobiling in the mountains with her immediate family as well as frequent gatherings with extended family and friends.

Barb will be deeply missed by her husband Tom, daughter Nicole, sons Jacob and Joshua, sister Cindy (Kuipers) Smith, and mother, Phyllis Kuipers. She was preceded in death by her father, John Kuipers. Her absence will also be strongly felt by her extended family, friends, and coworkers.

A memorial service and reception is being held at Swan Law Funeral Directors, 501 North Cascade Avenue, Colorado Springs on Sunday, December 15, 2013 at 1:00 p.m.

Memorial contributions can be made to one of Barb's favorite charities: The Springs Rescue Mission, 5 West Las Vegas Street, Colorado Springs, CO 80903, or The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region.

To Barb's family,

I just learned of Barb's passing and am so very sorry. When i was in 7th grade, my family moved to Colorado Springs and I was lucky enough to become Barb's friend. I remember spending lots of time at her new house and always had so much fun. As I've grown older, I've wanted to reconnect with old friends. I couldn't find Barb. I learned of her passing through Lori Stiehl. Patty Prim Hart

Although we didn't know Barb all that well, we did enjoy our social time together at various shop functions. She always had a warm smile and a friendly greeting waiting for us. From what we know from Tom, Barb handled her disease, and its' complications, with strength and dignity and was always confident that the doctors would find a way out for her and her family. Cindie and I have no doubt that she was a devoted and loving spouse and Mom and that she will continue looking after her family from above. Our sincerest sympathies go out to her family and friends.
