Barbara "Barb” (Adams) Huber, Concordia, passed away on June 20, 2025. She was born on May 26,1938, to Francis Opal (Barleen) and Lawrence Bernice Adams.
Barb grew up in Concordia and attended Concordia High School, graduating in 1956. It was at CHS where she met the love of her life, Walt Huber. Barb fondly recalls “smooching with Walt” at the rocks east of town back in the day. His charm and (mostly true) fishing tales won her heart, and Walt and Barb were married on January 11, 1959.
Barb worked for many years at the Gelvin Haughey Clinic as a switchboard operator. After the clinic closed, she worked at JC Penney and the Lincoln School until retirement.
Barb gave birth to three sons in three years, thus proving she is a saint. She had a sweet spirit that stayed with her to the end. She was very proud of her sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and loved attending sporting events and activities as they grew up.
She was preceded in death by her husband Walt, parents Francis and Lawrence Adams, siblings Bernice Fief and Larry Adams, and daughter-in-law Lisa.
She will be missed by her children, Chris Huber and wife Mary of Great Bend, KS, Eric Huber and wife Sue, and Doug Huber and wife Donna all of Concordia; Ten grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren, plus two on the way.
Barb’s wishes were to be cremated. A private family burial will take place at Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Concordia, Kansas at a later date.Chaput-Buoy Funeral Home, PO Box 606, Concordia, KS 66901 is in care of Barbara’s arrangements. For online condolences please visit www.chaputbuoy.com
