Barbara Stone

Barbara Jean (Hulberg) Stone, 82, of Arcadia, died on Saturday, November 18, 2023, at St. Anne's Extended Healthcare in Winona under the care of Winona Hospice.

Barbara was born on January 14, 1941, in La Crosse to Harold and Helen (Rogers) Barclay. She was raised in La Crosse and graduated from Logan High School. After graduation, Barb attended nursing school in Winona, becoming a licensed practical nurse and worked for Lutheran Hospital in La Crosse and St. Joseph's Hospital in Arcadia before becoming the nurse for Dr. Lleva in the Arcadia Clinic where she worked until her retirement. Barb was united in marriage to Miles "Bud" Hulberg on September 12, 1964, at Moody Free Church in La Crosse. The couple was blessed with 36 years of marriage before his passing in February of 2000. She then married Carl Stone on March 8, 2002 and were married for almost 20 years. The couple enjoyed singing at various nursing homes and attending church functions with Reaching Out Ministries. Barbara was a woman of deep faith, living a Godly life and filling her days serving her community. She enjoyed Bible Studies with the ladies of the church, building connections and friendships with her brothers and sisters in faith. Her family was of the utmost importance to her, and she loved every moment she was able to spend with them. She showed a deep sense of pride in each one of her children's and grandchildren's accomplishments and would lend a helping hand in each of their endeavors whenever she was needed. Though her journey has ended here on Earth, her family is comforted knowing she can now walk hand in hand on the golden streets of Heaven with all her departed loved ones.

Barbara is survived by her children: Jeff (Pamela Weltzien) Hulberg of Arcadia, Pam (Steve) Baker of Plaineview, MN, and Brian (Leandra) Hulberg of Arcadia; grandchildren: Kalene (fiancé, Alex) Hulberg, Josh Hulberg, Kyle (Tonya) Hulberg, Matthew Lietha, Breyona Baker, Nicholas Baker, Sam Bass and Alec Bracy; great-grandchildren: Isaiah, Xavier, and Elias; brother: Richard (Kathy) Barclay of Onalaska; and many other relatives and friends.
