From Crystal's blog:
Barbara Craven Brelsford, 83, of Sun City, passed away on September 11, 2007. She was born on March 19, 1924 in Summerfield, KS. She is survived by her husband Clifford, two daughters Crystal Zevon and Caren von Gontard, grandchildren Ariel Zevon and Paul von Gontard and great-grandsons Max and Gus Zevon-Powell. Barbara and Clifford were married on June 1, 1948 and had known one another since they were in 4th grade. Her life was one of devoted and selfless service to her family and to humanity. She graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in Home Economics and a B.S. in Nursing from the University of Kansas. In 1956, she and her family moved from Kansas to Aspen, Colorado where they lived until Cliff and Barbara retired fulltime in Sun City in 1978. Barbara used her nursing skills to teach, to heal and to help others in their passage to a better place through more than two decades of dedicated service through hospice. Barbara’s last words typified her life. “Keep smiling,” she said. We carry her smile with us always.
