BARBARA FROEHLICH SHELINE <\/p>\n
1951-2011 <\/p>\n
Helena lost a good friend, companion and all around fun person, when Barb Sheline lost her hard fought battle with lung cancer on January 13, 2011. Surrounding her at her passing were her devoted and dedicated husband, Dennis, and her sisters, Marijeanne and Pat, and her brother-in-law, Earl.<\/p>\n
Barb was born March 13, 1951 in Anaconda and grew up in Helena. She graduated from Helena High School in 1969 and was further educated at Montana State Eastern. She worked her entire career for the State of Montana, beginning at the Highway Department and retiring from the Department of Administration. After her retirement, Barb decided she wanted to be more active and took on a substitute teaching role at Montana City and Clancy Schools. She thoroughly enjoyed these positions and was truly loved by the staff and students.<\/p>\n
Barb was active in the community and, over time, joined a bowling league. Until her illness, she was an active member of Bill Robert\u2019s Ladies Golf League.<\/p>\n
Barb was also a faithful friend of Bill W. for 7 \u00bd years.<\/p>\n
During the course of their marriage, Barb and Dennis built three homes together. They also traveled extensively to such places as the Caribbean, Greece, Aruba and Vancouver Island, as well as numerous places within the U. S.<\/p>\n
Barb was a real animal lover and her family knew she would have been a wonderful vet. At one point she had a den of foxes living her in back yard, many of whom she named. It was not uncommon when some of the foxes would come to her when she called. Besides Dennis, Barb\u2019s constant companions over the past 30 years were her German Shepherds. Barb always had at least one German Shepherd at her side, and often two or three. She considered them her babies.<\/p>\n
Barb was an avid gardener and every spring she reveled in the compliments she received regarding her beautifully landscaped yard.<\/p>\n
Barb is preceded in death by her parents, Marge and Bill Froehlich; and her dear Aunt, Katherine (Froehlich) See. She is survived by her loving husband, Dennis; sisters, Marijeanne Connolly of Missoula and Pat (Earl) Hanson of Bozeman; her devoted German Shepherd, Dax; step-children, Laura Crawford and Bill Sheline (Deb Stevens); grandchildren, Tanner Crawford, Chase Russell, Levi and Joey Stevens; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.<\/p>\n
Barbara will be terribly missed by her family and all who were fortunate enough to know and love her.<\/p>\n
Barb, Dennis and their family would like to thank the staff at St. Peter\u2019s Cancer Center and St. Peter\u2019s Hospice for their caring and expertise.<\/p>\n
