Barbara Ann Baas, 87, Noblesville, died March 24 at Hamilton Trace of Fishers. She was born Oct. 16, 1928 to Raymond and Elizabeth (McFarland) McDonald in Indianapolis.
Barbara was a wonderful cook and entertainer. She not only enjoyed cooking for her family as her children grew, but also was a master entertainer. Her passions were gardening, reading and feeding the birds. Barbara completed the Bible Study Fellowship seven-year program and was a faithful servant in her church. Most of all, Barbara was very proud of her loving husband, children and their spouses, loved spending time with her grandchildren and seeing her great granddaughter.
She is survived by her children, Thomas (Leslie) Baas, Tamara (Robert) Herdrich, William (Erin) Baas and Jane (Lawrence) Love; brother Robert McDonald; grandchildren, Kelly Baas, John (Chelsea) Herdrich, Michael (Sara) Herdrich, David Herdrich, Ian (Emily) Baas, Scott Love and Anne Love; and great-grandchild Lucy Elizabeth Herdrich.
