Barbara (Spence) Kunkel

June 14, 1948 — December 8, 2020

Independence Missouri

Barbara Spence Kunkel, 72, of Independence MO passed away peacefully at her home with her devoted husband by her side on Tuesday, December 8th, 2020.  Funeral Services will be held on Friday, December 11th, 2020 at 2:00 pm at Marshall Memorial Funeral Home.

Barbara was preceded in death by her son Rondel Stewart; her parents Rollie and Lola Mae Spence; her sister Dorothy Garner; her nephew Bradley Simpson; her sister-in-law Carol Maday and her beloved fur-baby Garfield.

Barbara grew up in Albertville and attended Albertville High School where she graduated.  Soon after she graduated, she had her son Rondel, who was the apple of her eye.

30 plus years ago, a new employee joined the company where Barbara worked, and the boss set them up on a date.  Steve Kunkel swept Barbara off her feet by treating her like a Queen until the day she passed.  They were married for over 30 years.

Barbara is survived by the love of her life Steve Kunkel; her grandsons Blake Stewart and William Tyler Stewart; her sister Betty Simpson; her sister-in-law Pat Kapas.

The family will receive friends from 12:00 pm Friday until the time of the service.
