Barbara S. Gregg, 76, of Washington, died Tuesday, December 5, 2017, in Donnell House, Washington, following a brief illness.

She was born December 11, 1940, in Charleroi, a daughter of the late Theodore “Ted” and Marie A. Koffler Swiantek.

Mrs. Gregg was a 1958 graduate of Trinity High School.

She was a member of St. Hilary Roman Catholic Church, Washington.

After high school, she was employed as a secretary for Suwak Trucking. She also worked at Citizens Library in the children’s department.

Her greatest gift in life was being a wife, mother, grandmother and great- grandmother. She enjoyed watching and being a part of her children’s, grandchildren’s and great-grandchildren’s lives and watching them grow up to be who they are today. She enjoyed making family dinners, and she cherished holiday memories. Being a homemaker and planting flowers all around her house was her lifestyle. She loved traveling with her husband and enjoyed all of their family cruises. They were definitely all a part of her most cherished memories. Family trips to Texas, Hawaii, London, Alaska and her many cruises with friends and family will never be forgotten. Mrs. Gregg loved and lived life to the fullest.
