Barbara Jean Cleveland was born on September 16, 1934, in Atchison, KS; the daughter of Louis and Dorothy (Thompson) Cummings. She was married to Kenneth Cleveland on February 14, 1952; they later divorced.

Barbara was a social worker for many years, but retired after a 20+ year long career as a Juvenile Intake Officer with the Butler County Sheriff’s Office. After retirement, Barbara took about a year off from work, but quickly decided she would be a good fit with Catholic Charities in their domestic violence department; she worked there for 9 years. She loved to crochet and would make beautiful afghans and liked to pass time by making homemade soaps. The highlight of her life was spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. 

Her loving family includes her children, Terry (Deanna) Cleveland of Salina, Cindy (Steve) Kahrs of Clay Center, Tim (Bendi) Cleveland of Pittsburg and Janet Cleveland of El Dorado; eight grandchildren; twelve great-grandchildren, and a sister, Darlene Reinhart. 

Barbara passed away on March 14, 2023, in Wichita, KS. She is preceded in death by her parents; one granddaughter, Amy Cleveland and two sisters, Carol Henderson and Betty Koob.
