Barbara Fay Stein, age 87, died peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday, January 15th, 2025, at Wausau Manor.

Barb was born on May 30th, 1937, at Memorial Hospital in Wausau, Wisconsin to the late Clifford and Hazel (Koenig) Stein. After graduating from Wausau East high school in 1955, Barb worked at Marathon Electric and later worked in the kitchen cabinet division at Connor Forest Industries for over 20 years. She went on to work part-time as a senior aide for the American Red Cross. Her final jobs included working as a shoe clerk for Shopko as well as a clerical aide for Wisconsin Valley Library Service.

A life-long resident of Wausau, Barb was an active member of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ. She loved watching birds and wildlife from her window during the spring and summer months. She loved doing puzzles, and in her later years she loved playing bingo.

Survivors include her sister-in-law Mary Stein of Lowell; three nieces, Nicole Stein and Jamie Stein of Lowell; and Diana (Aaron) Duenkel of Iron Ridge, several cousins, other relatives, special friend Deb Ryan, and other friends. Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Dennis, and niece Renee.
