Cherished mother and grandmother, Barbara Brill, entered into rest on March 4, 2026 at the age of 100.

Barbara was born on September 19, 1925 in Liverpool, England.  She met USAF sergeant, Joe Brill while he was serving in England and Ireland.  The two were married on June 1, 1946 in Keosauqua, Iowa.  Barbara was a devoted wife and loving mother to her three sons.  She was extremely proud of becoming a naturalized US citizen on December 22, 1969.

Joe and Barbara moved to the Branson area in 1983 from Berwick, IA.  They were long time, faithful members of Friendly Baptist Church. 

Barbara held faith and family of the utmost importance.  She enjoyed camping and spending time with her family.  She was also very gifted in needlework and loved quilting and sewing.

She will be deeply missed by her sons, Gary Brill and David Brill; her five grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren.

Barbara was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Brill; her son, Wayne Brill; and one brother, Bruce Joad.
