Barbara Egley Obituary Barbara Anne Egley, 85, of Hamilton, Illinois, passed away on Monday, August 12, at home with her dog Teddy and daughter, Jenny by her side.
Barb was born on November 25, 1938, the 5th of 6 children to Charles and Laura (Schrieckel) Schrader in Dillonvale, Ohio. She moved to Hamilton in 1966. Barb was a strong, independent, outspoken woman with a huge heart, open mind, and a mean sense of humor. Barb enjoyed people and they enjoyed her. Some will remember her from Montebello Gardens, Montebello Healthcare, The Depot, Hamilton VFW, Hammels Carpets, Longeneckers, or Sirloin Stockade, where she often kept happy meal toys in her purse for bored kids. She enjoyed volunteering as a Girl Scout leader and Meals on Wheels. She was a dedicated member of the Hamilton VFW Ladies Auxiliary.
Barb is survived by her dog, Teddy Bear, daughter, Jenny (Steve) Schlicher, and son, Zack Campbell, Grandsons, Mac (Maddie) Schlicher of Marina Del Ray, CA, and Jed Schlicher of Lakewood, CO, Granddaughter Sydney (Karter Lyons) Branham, siblings Bill Schrader of Ft. Madison and Tom (Barb) Schrader of Tiltonsville, Ohio, and son in law, Jim Carel.
Barb was preceded in death by her daughter Judi Carel, grandson Jarrod Michael, her parents Charles and Laura, sister Shirley, brothers Dick and Don Schrader, many friends and fur babies.
Mom told me she was tired. If you knew Barb, you know that is laughable. Barb was a ball of energy! She even worked at gaining weight! My friends knew her as a cleaning fanatic, and she was hard to keep up with if you were a coworker! She found it so hard to lose the ability to keep active. She said she was content, but she was ready.
Graveside services will be held at a later date. Memorials may be made out to Lee County Hospice or Hamilton Animal Control. Printy Funeral Home is handling arrangements.
