Shively, Barbara Shank My beloved wife Barbara, formerly of Falcon Heights, passed away on May 21 in Bloomington, Indiana, at age 82. Barbara was a modest and very private person, who wanted to leave as small a footprint on the world as possible. Accordingly, at her express wish, there will be a private family gathering but no funeral or celebration of life, and I will write no obituary beyond these few lines of notification. Barbara was a good and talented woman, who filled the hearts of all she met. She is survived by her husband, Phil Shively; her daughter, Helen Ford of Bloomington, Indiana; her son, David Shively of Victoria, British Columbia; her brother, Kenneth Shank of New Providence, New Jersey; and grandchildren Nicholas Ford, Alice Ford, and Aron Wilkes. Donations may be made to Save the Children.
