Barbara “Barb” Ann Wood, 66, of Shelbyville, passed away on Friday, September 29, 2023, at her home surrounded by her family. Barb was born on November 30, 1956, in Greensburg, Indiana to Robert Hampton and Juanita McCullough.
Barb married Charles “Bob” Wood on June 14, 1998, and he survives. Barb worked at Keller’s as a waitress and spent most of her working career at Heritage House Nursing Home in Greensburg. Barb enjoyed bowling and participated in two different bowling leagues. Barb also had an uncommon love for skunks. Though most people fear the smell of a skunk, Barb only sees the beauty that it holds. Barb was also this way with people. Her door was always open to anyone who needed help or just someone to talk to. Barb saw the beauty in everyone, and she will be missed by all who knew her.
