Feb 08, 1936---Sep 15, 2019

Barbara Marie (Warner) Redlin of Lenexa, KS, passed away on September 15th, 2019, at the age of 83.  Visitation will be held at 9:30 a.m. with Funeral service following at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct 8th at Sacred Heart of Jesus, 5501 Monticello Road, Shawnee, KS. 

Barbara was born February 8, 1936 in Fargo, ND, to Earl and Hannah Warner. She grew up in Hillsboro, ND and graduated from Hillsboro High School in May of 1954. Barbara loved to sing. In her younger days, she was a member of the recording artists trio, The Peppermints.  She also sang in multiple church choirs and LOVED karaoke. 

In 1956 she met the love of her life - Al Redlin - at a dance in Halstad, MN.  They were married in November of 1957 and traveled the country for Al's work, until the birth of their second daughter.  They had three daughters and raised their family, mostly in the Kansas City area, with a few years being spent in Bloomington, MN.  Barbara loved being a stay at home mom, and kept the family busy with camping, boating, square dancing, hiking, snow skiing, parties and the best family vacations.  Barbara was a spiritual person and was an active church member.  In retirement, they built homes in Sun Lakes, AZ and Star Valley Ranch, WY and enjoyed having family and friends visit them.  She had a 'Jesus Room' in each of her homes where she conducted daily devotions.   

Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, Earl and Hannah Warner, siblings; Sonny Warner, Helen Eisenhardt and Dick Warner, daughter Laura Johnson and granddaughter Samantha Valentine.  Her legacy will live on through her husband of 61 years, George Alan Redlin, daughters Rita (Tom) Rohrer, Shawnee, KS, Mary (Steve) Valentine, Lenexa, KS, her 6 grandchildren: Melissa, Nicolette, Alex, Mack, Dalton and Scott and three great grandchildren, Ariana, Christian and Ava.

Barbara leaves behind a legacy of grace and love and so we say, ”Farewell to you now, our friend, you will be remembered with smiles and laughter.” Barbara will be missed by family and friends alike.

My heart aches for your family, Barb. How much they loved you I can only imagine, I will forever be your friend and wish I could hug you one more time! Honey, my favorite picture in your married life was the one you sent me on your motorcycles, you and Al were on one of your many adventures. And your wonderful husband kept me informed of your lives after you got sick. I catch my breath every once in a while and tears fill my eyes, just remembering our happy times! I think the hardest thing I had to do was tell Janie about your daughter, Mary’s sad message. We sure made happy music together, we three! ❤️

Mike & I and our daughter Terri and boys, Michael & Axel have fond memories of our visits to Sun Lakes, AZ and Star Valley, WY, with Barbara and you, Al. It will be a large part of our memory banks. Your hospitality and graciousness will shine in those memories. Barbara was so full of life and thoroughly enjoyed having visitors. She was kind and loving, especially when talking about her family. She loved her Jesus room and we welcomed the gift of her piano playing. She will be missed.

From: philippi, sylvester To: AL; Rita; and Mary Sent: 10-6-2019 Life seems to be full of trials which test our inner strength. I know that it iwas difficult to cope with the everyday problems associated with Barbara's health and I am sure there were times when emotions get the better of you. Know that you have friends who send you their love and encouragement. Try to keep your dreams alive and your faith strong. The bond that holds your family together is the respect and love you give each other. Your family is Gods' gift to you as you are to them. It is around family and home that brings us the greatest joy. May God give you strength and peace of mind. I think of AL often. I am someone who remembers, someone who cares and whispers your name in his prayers. Take care. Sy
