Barbara K. Egly, age 90, of Rogersville, Missouri, passed away peacefully at home with loved ones by her side on Friday, July 3, 2026. Barb was born on June 6, 1936 in Chicago, Illinois, to the late Lester & Kathryne (Anderson) Werhane. 

She received her education mainly in Bensenville, Illinois, with the exception of the seven different schools Barb attended during 3rd & 4th grade; caused by frequent moves while her father fought in WWII. In 1954 Barb graduated from Bensenville High School and then continued her education at the highly prestigious St. Luke's Training School for Nurses in Chicago, Illinois.

Barbara Werhane married her sweetheart, Leonard D. Egly, on February 9, 1957 in her parent's home in Bensenville, Illinois. From this union of love four children were born.

In 1965 Barb & Len moved their family to Neenah, Wisconsin. Later, they built a home in Mountain View, Missouri, and in 1976 they became farmers together. Barb also worked at St. Francis Hospital in Mountain View from 1978 until her retirement in 2003.

Barbara was a member of Mountain View United Methodist Church where she was active on many committees & church projects. She worked on the Back-Pack Program providing to children in different schools for several years. Barb also volunteered at the Good Samaritan Care Clinic from its inception until moving to Rogersville, Missouri, in 2015.

Barb was a giver; she always shared her kindness, love, encouragement, & words of wisdom to anyone in need. She had a great love for her family, Elvis Presley, & the infamous pink flamingos. She will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure to know her. XOXO
