Barbara N. Gault

Barbara N. Gault, age 86, of Chilton, died on Wednesday, February 1, 2017 at Libby’s House in Chilton. She was born February 10, 1930 in Detroit, MI, daughter of the late Herbert Carl & Gwendolyn Myrtle (Harrison) Sheppard. Barbara married Ralph Gault in Detroit; he preceded her in death in 1992.



As an incredibly energetic and independent woman, Barbara looked forward to many travels abroad. In her retirement, she began taking trips with Elderhostel Travel Tours, but managed to always extend her trips beyond the scheduled tour dates. She managed to travel to the ‘not so well traveled’ parts of the world to learn about culture and experience sites many have not seen. Trips to places like Puru, Guam, Hungary, Turkey, Tanzania, Cambodia & Thailand, as many other places were a big part of who Barbara was in life.



Survivors include her children: Roger (Ilene) Gault, Bruce (Carol) Gault, Craig (Carol) Gault; 7 grandchildren; and 12 great grandchildren. She is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.



She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; her sister and all her in laws.
