Barbara Ann Wanamaker-Beadle

Barbara Ann Wanamaker-Beadle, age 57, of Mill Creek, Washington, passed away 
suddenly before her time on October 21, 2008. Barbara was born in Minneapolis, 
Minnesota on January 3, 1951 to Robert Babcock and Marie Sauer Babcock. She 
grew up on beautiful Lake Minnetonka, and as a teenager, Barb spent much of her 
time riding horses. Taking her horse with her, Barb attended Stephens College in 
Columbia, Missouri where she graduated with honors.

Barbara lived in Coconut Grove, Florida; Indian Wells, California; as well as Bellevue, 
Maple Valley, and Mill Creek, Washington, where she was a member at Mill Creek Golf 
and Country Club. 

Barbara is survived by her loving husband, John Beadle; her children, Matthew 
Wanamaker and his wife, Camarin, of Everett, Ryan Wanamaker, of Seattle, WA, and 
Brittany Wanamaker, of Mill Creek; her step-children, Rick Beadle and his wife, Angela, 
of Lynnwood, WA, Kim Beadle, of Lynnwood and extended family; her two beautiful 
granddaughters that she adored more than anything, Francesca and Autumn; and 
brother, Bob Babcock. 

Barb was a charismatic personality that made friends easily and touched the lives of 
many. She will be remembered for her love of animals, her love for music (especially 
The Beach Boys), her unbelievable generosity, her devotion to her husband John. And 
most of all, Barb will be remembered for the love she had for her children.

Her Memorial Service and Celebration of Life will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, 
November, 1, 2008, at Mill Creek Country Club.
