It is with a heavy heart that we share news that Barb Kuhlmann died in her sleep during a house fire early this morning. She lived alone.

Barb has been our Christian Education and Youth Director for more than ten years. She was also a beloved preschool teacher at PUNS (Parkway United Nursery School) for even longer.

Please join us in praying for Barb’s sons, grandchildren, sisters and father.

Barb’s life and spirit will be celebrated here at PUCC later this summer.

I will talk about Barb, loss and grief during the Children’s Time in worship this Sunday. Sunday School this weekend will be led by Marsha Peek and others. The Nursery will be open as usual.

If you and/or your children would like to talk, please reach out to me via phone (314-330-0629) or kevin@parkwayucc.org
