OBITUARY
Barbara Ann Stum of St. Clair, MO departed this life in St. Clair, MO on February 10, 2026, having reached the age of seventy-five years, four months and eighteen days. Barbara was born in St. Louis, MO on September 23, 1950, daughter of Louis Bernard Monton and Ruth Catherine Wesley Monton nee Carpenter. As a young woman she was united in marriage and blessed to have two daughters.
Barbara is survived by her daughters, Cari Stum of Brisbane, Australia and Sarah Watkins nee Stum and husband, Bill, of O’Fallon, IL; by her grandchildren, Ben Kirby, Sam Kirby and Daniel Squires; by cousins and many friends.
Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, Louis and Ruth Monton.
Barbara was a Christian, believing in the Lord as her Savior and had been attending Roots Church in St. Clair, MO. During her working career she was employed as a veterinarian technician for over fifteen years. She loved animals and had at one time volunteered and worked for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Austin, TX. Barbara was a talented seamstress that loved to sew and had a passion for collecting antiques. What meant most to her was time spent with her daughters and grandchildren. The love they shared and many precious memories they created together will be cherished by them all forever.
A kind and loving mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, cousin and treasured friend, she will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew and loved her.
A private committal will take place at a later date. The family entrusted the care of their loved one to Russell Colonial Funeral Home in St. Clair, MO. Memorials may be made to the SPCA/Humane Society and Agape House Ministries.
