Barbara Jean Walden, age 87, loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend passed away in Cheyenne, Wyoming on March 29. Barbara was born to James Harvey and Susan Adeline Cook in Christian County, Kentucky. The youngest of ten children, Barbara was raised on the family farm with five brothers and four sisters. She loved sharing lively stories of life on the farm with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren in later years.

She proudly received her diploma from Missouri Baptist Hospital in 1954 and later worked for Veterans hospitals before working at hospitals in Chinle and Tuba City Arizona. After retiring, she moved to Colorado and then Wyoming. Barbara was a talented quilter who lovingly made quilts for her family which will be forever cherished by her family. Barbara is survived by her three children, Mark (Judy), Laura (Mickey) and Brad (Pam); seven grandchildren, Tori, Hollie, William, Lauren, Lindsay, Ben and Sarah; and three great-grandchildren, Zachary, Elizabeth and Emmie.
