Cattanach, Barbara (7 MAR 1951 – 27 JAN 2017)
Barbara Cattanach, age 65, of Neillsville, WI died Friday, January 27, 2017 at
St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield, WI.
Barbara Jane Stelter was born on March 7, 1951 in Neillsville the daughter of
Frederick and Elizabeth (Embke) Stelter. She attended St. John's Lutheran Grade
School and graduated from Neillsville High School in 1969. She then went to work
in the Extension Office at the courthouse before transferring to the Sherriff's
department, where she worked as a dispatcher and secretary. Barb then moved to
the District Attorney's office and worked as a legal secretary. She was also the
Victim/Witness coordinator before moving to the Child Support Agency, and
working her way up to the Director of Child Support. She was united in marriage
to Mark Cattanach on February 10, 1990 at St. John's Lutheran Church in
Neillsville. She retired from the courthouse in 2013.
Barb was a member of the Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church in Globe, WI. She
loved her animals, especially her dogs, and would travel throughout Wisconsin,
Minnesota and South Dakota taking them to agility trials, and for many years
visiting hospitals with her therapy dogs. In her spare time, she enjoyed tending
to her flowers and gardening. She was very good at doing crafts and was a
talented artist. Most important to her, though, was being able to spend time
with her precious grandsons.
She is survived by her husband, Mark, two children, Heather (Todd Jensen) Klein
of Neillsville and Ryan (Tanya) Pagenkopf of Loyal, WI, three grandsons, Ashtin,
