Barbara Ann was born on May 5, 1948, in Hustisford, Wisconsin, to Edward and Lorraine (Lauersdorf) Hammann. She graduated from Juneau High School in 1966 and went on to marry her high school sweetheart, Alfred Schaalma, on February 4, 1967, at St. John’s Ev. Lutheran Church in Juneau. Together, they raised five children, instilling in them a strong faith and solid core values that would guide them throughout their lives. Barb dedicated many years of her life to caring for others as a CNA. She worked at Lakeview Lutheran Hospital in Beaver Dam, as well as providing home health care to those in need. She later retired from Clearview. In her retirement, Barb enjoyed the simple comforts of home, often spending time watching the Hallmark Channel and keeping up with the latest episodes of NCIS. Above all, she cherished the time she spent with her grandchildren, who brought her immense joy.
Barbara is survived by her children, Jean Schaalma of Beaver Dam, Joel Schaalma of Juneau, Jennifer Rabehl (John Mason) of Beaver Dam, and Janice Smith (Craig) of Juneau; grandchildren, Jay (Cierra) Schaalma, Erin (Jessy) Schuster, Gerald (Morgan) Rabehl, Nicholas (Justine) Kufalk-Schaalma, Conrad (Lulu) Schaalma, Bradley Rabehl, Collin (Rose) Smith, and Gilliana Schaalma; great grandchildren, Ayden, Arie, Jayden, Brayden, Chloe and Alice; daughter-in-law, Brenda Schaalma; siblings, Beverly (Mike) Rennhack and David (Laurie) Hammann; nieces and nephews; other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Alfred; son, Jerald Schaalma; daughter-in-law, Melissa Schaalma; and son-in-law, Joseph Rabehl.
