Barbra Solberg Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She spent the first 14 years of her life in Center, CO, and then moved to Steamboat Springs, CO, where she graduated from high school. Barbra later attended Colorado State University and met Ralph M. Solberg on a blind date at a college dance. They were married on March 12, 1960.
Together they welcomed their first daughter, Kirsten in October 1963 and moved to Bennett, CO and eventually settled on twenty-eight acres outside of Bennett. In March of 1967, they welcomed their second daughter, Karen. Barbara and Ralph lived on their farm for 28 years.
The happiest times of her life in Colorado were filled with teaching Sunday school, Good News club, directing the church choir, being involved in Missions and hosting missionary families; as well being a devoted farmer's wife. She became a Kansas resident in 1993 when her and Ralph moved to Admire, KS. Barbra moved to Goessel in 2010. She was a para-educator at the Goessel Elementary for eight years and loved helping the kids. Over the years she switched her allegiance from the Denver Bronco's to become an avid Kansas City Chief's fan. Barbra loved meeting people, helping her daughter plant flowers and flowers in general.
Barbra is survived by her daughters, Kirsten Solberg of Goessel, and Karen (Andrew) Finan of Basehor; granddaughter, Jess Finan of Basehor; sister, Cyndi (Roger) Dewey of Westminister, CO; and four nieces and one nephew.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; and sister, Carolyn (Victor) Weyers.
Memorial services will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, May 3, 2025 at the Goessel Church. Private burial will be held at Goessel Church Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Bethesda Home (to be used for maintenance on the memorial garden), Goessel Church or Missionary Aviation Fellowship in care of Miller-Ott Funeral Home, PO Box 96, Goessel, KS 67053.
