Barbara was born on January 29, 1939, to Simon and Eleanor (Evans) Bagneski. She grew up in Beaver Dam, her caring touch became obvious at a young age and continued graciously as her mother's caregiver until Eleanor's passing. On October 12, 1963, Barb was united in marriage to David Budde at St. Michael's Catholic Church in Beaver Dam. Together David and Barb raised two boys: Todd and Greg. When she was not taking care of her family, Barb could be found in her garden lovingly tending to her plants. She was also a member of the Priest Mother's Guild and made sure to say the Rosary at least once a day.
