Barbara Flannery

Barbara Ann Flannery, 77, formally of Beloit, passed away peacefully on May 10th, 2023 with her
husband holding her hand. Barbara was currently residing at The Waterford of Plymouth Assisted Living
in Plymouth, WI.
Barb was born on February 1st, 1946 in Sheboygan, WI. She is the daughter of the late William and Alice
(Wieting) Eimermann. Barb attended Sheboygan schools and graduated from Sheboygan North High
School with the Class of 1964.
Barb moved to Indiana after high school where she met the love of her life at Frisch’s Drive-in in
Richmond, IN. On April 15th, 1967, she married Edward Lowell Flannery at St Luke’s Methodist Church in
Sheboygan, WI. Barb and Ed moved to Beloit to begin their life together as this was the half-way point
between both families.
In March of 1979, Barb and Ed started their own glass business “Flannery’s Glass and MIrror” where
they worked hand in hand for the next 40 years, retiring in 2019. They were members of the Redeemer
Evangelical Covenant Church and loved their church family dearly.
In the early years, they enjoyed traveling and some of their favorite destinations were Hawaii, California,
visiting Disney World. She loved Elvis and was even able to visit Graceland. They enjoyed Friday night
fish frys and a good old fashion. Barb inherited her love of flowers from her father and enjoyed tending
to her beautiful red geraniums, and was a lover and collector of teddy bears.
Having no children themselves, she cherished all the time she could spend with her God-daughter/niece
Pamela and her family and loved them like her own.
Barbara is survived by her loving husband Edward, her devoted sister Sandra (Anthony) Skrepenski of
Marion, special niece Pamela (Ryan) Lutze and their daughters, Paige (fiance Jauger), Payton, Paris and
Presley, Kiel, sister-in-law Alma Jane (Ron) Padgett, New Castle, IN. She is also survived by niece Jeanine
(Randy) Snyder and nephew Rob Flannery and their families, other family and friends including their
best friends, Phil and Eva Pickett, Beloit.
She was preceded in death by her parents, WIlliam and Alice (Wieting) Eimermann, In-laws Lowell and
