Nurse at University of Utah in the Dialysis department. AIDS/HIV educator.
Obituary:
Barb Barnhart passed away on December 9, 1997 of complications due to AIDS.
She is survived by her grandfather, Loyce Mitchell; her mother, Merridy Barnhart; her aunt and uncle, Susan and John Adamson; her cousins, Michelle Heeb, Shamus, Dusty; and her life partner and soul mate, Kim Russo. Barb was raised in Montana by her loving grandfather and hero. She moved to Utah in 1982 to attend college where she obtained her BS in Nursing.
Barb was diagnosed with AIDS in 1990. Since her diagnosis she used her personal story and her medical background to become an HIV/AIDS educator. This allowed her to bring her message to tens of thousands of people across the nation. Barb received numerous awards for her community service including the Kristen Ries Award in 1997 and the YWCA Human Services Award also in 1997. Barb was an active member of the Board of Trustees for the People with AIDS Coalition of Utah, the Royal Court, and was a speaker for the National Speaker's Bureau of People With AIDS.
Barb lived her life with courage and grace. She was able to do so with the love and support of her partner and soul mate, Kim Russo. Barb would like to thank her family of friends, Julie Brizzee, Carrie Gayler, Ann Hart, Jeff Freedman, Hank Hannah, Laurie Lacy, Sandy Dries, Teri Holleran, Ann and Nancy, Cary and Jeff, Janet and Cathy, Wendy and Monique, and Ann Russo. These people traveled with her through her journey in life. Every time we act with integrity, honesty, strength, and compassion, we will unmistakably meet again the mind and soul of Barb Barnhart.
Barb believed her strength and courage for living came from her heart but also through the life giving and healing forces of Dr. Kristen Ries and Maggie Synder. Barb recognized and appreciated the love and compassion of Community Nursing, Journey Home, Anne, Alan, Mary Ann, and Paula. Barb also expresses her gratitude to the Royal Court for their commitment towards HIV/AIDS.
A memorial services will be held at 4 p.m. on Dec. 13, 1997, at the First Baptist Church, SLC, 777 South 1300 East directed by Neil O'Donnel & Sons. Following the service a celebration of Barb's life will be held. The location will be announced at the Memorial.
In lieu of flowers, Barb requested donations in her name be made to YWCA, People With AIDS Coalition of Utah, the Royal Court-AIDS Fund, or the Humane Society of Utah.
"Barb, you are my champion and where ever I go and whatever I see you will always be with me. You looked into your coming and going face to face with more courage and grace than I have ever seen or known. You smiled- all the way. I will miss you.
SMILE ON BARB! I love you the most."
