It is with so much sadness that I am posting this. I had decided that I was going to wait and see if Barb wanted to do it, because this blog was originally her creation but have now decided that I am going to post the bare essentials for now. Butch and Barb have been long-time friends of ours and of so many former residents of Magnolia Park.
As those of you who have followed Barb's own blog over the years know, Butch had been having many health difficulties for the last several months and at 3:00 AM on September 9, 2025 Butch passed away. I have not seen an obituary yet but according to Barb's most recent information there will be a Celebration of Life at the Depot in Jefferson Iowa from 11:00 - 2:00 and there will be a lunch. These are merely suggested hours as Barb and their boys, along with their spouses, expect that people will wander over to the Brooker home afterwards.
I did look to see how far Jefferson is from us and it is a long ways but I'm hoping that those of you who don't live so far away will be able to attend this. Barb and Butch were such an important part of Magnolia Park and it's hard to believe that this has happened.
