Barbara Ruth Taddy, 88, of Crystal Lake, passed away on July 6, 2024. She was born in Palmyra, WI, on July 24, 1935, to Fred and Ruth (née Cumming) Blomiley.

Barb grew up in Palmyra and moved to Milwaukee where she met her future husband, Thomas Henry Taddy. They were married on November 30, 1957. They later moved to Two Rivers, WI, where they made their home for over 40 years. Barb worked at Point Beach Nuclear Plant and was a loving wife and mother.

After Tom’s passing in October 1998, Barb relocated to Crystal Lake to be closer to family. She enjoyed watching old western movies, reading, shopping, playing cards and traveling with family.
