Barbara Rose (Reynolds) Wimpy, 75, went to be with her Lord and Savior on November 28, 2023 in Newport, Washington. Barbara had celebrated her 75^th birthday the previous month and left suddenly due to a cardiac event.

Barbara was born on October 25, 1948 in Seattle, Washington to Richard E. Reynolds and Sheila (Thompson) Reynolds. She spent most of her childhood and early adult years in the Bay Area in California and lived the remainder of her days throughout Washington state. Barbara had an analytical mind and a talent for thinking through complex problems. She worked in the banking, real estate, and mortgage lending industries, but her real passions and hobbies were found in the arts. She loved drawing her own house plans, dancing, and photography.

Barbara married Paul Wimpy on December 12, 2013 in Las Vegas, NV. They met the year prior and immediately got to work enjoying life together. They traveled, attended music shows, and spent time having fun with their community of friends.  Barbara was an outgoing person, who always made friends wherever she went. Shortly after their wedding, Barbara retired from the mortgage business and set to work on designing their dream retirement home, built in Diamond Lake in 2015. Two years later, Barbara received a cancer diagnosis, which she battled and won. In April 2021, she suffered a stroke that she was unable to fully recover from.

Barbara is survived by her husband Paul, daughters Jennifer and Stephanie, brothers Jim, Rick, and Steve, sisters Debbie and Jeanne, grandchildren Colby, Mike, Matt, Haven, Brennan, Cassidy, Ailysse, Levi, Mallory, and Alexa, one great-grandchild, Milo, and several nieces, nephews, and extended family.

Barbara is preceded in death by her father, mother, and son, Johnny.

The service for Mrs. Barbara Wimpy will be held on December 3, 2023, at 12pm at Sunset Memorial Gardens, 915 By Pass Hwy, Richland, WA 99352.

Memorial donations can be made in Barbara’s name to the Tri-Cities Cancer Center in Kennewick, WA.
