Chung, Barbara J. On Monday, April 15th, Barbara Jean (Larson) Chung (76) passed away at The Neighbors of Dunn County, in Menomonie, WI. Barb was born on December 10th, 1947 to Vernon & Marie (Cornish) Larson and was raised in Elk Mound, WI. After graduation in 1966, Barb started a new adventure by moving to Minneapolis, MN for Medical Technician training. She met a classmate named David Chung, who "really liked her cooking" and on June 28, 1969, they became husband and wife. Barb and David purchased their forever home of 47 years on Pleasant Ave. in Minneapolis. The Chung's loved to host neighborhood picnics in their beautiful backyard and their front porch was always full of 500 card parties and laughter. Barb loved to cook, shop for a good bargain, spoil her dogs, Fancy & Suki, travel with David, visit the nearest casino and spend time with her treasured girlfriends. Barb received her RN degree from Metropolitan Community College in 1978 and had various nursing jobs over the years, but her passions included caring for the elderly, including end of life, and assisting those struggling with chemical dependencies. Barb is survived by her husband of 54 years, David Chung; Brother, Douglas (Ann) Larson; Niece Laura (Steve) Lecheler; and Nephew Kurt Larson, all of Menomonie. Great Niece, Morgan (fiancé Derek) Lecheler; Great Nephew, Bret Lecheler; The loving Chung family siblings: Jean, Gertie (Tony) & Evanson, Canada; Daphne (Milton) and Terrance (Gloria), Ohio; and James, England; many Chung family nieces and nephews, Larson cousins and many, many dear friends.
