Barbara K. Fegan passed away at home on Sunday, October 8, surrounded by her loving family.  She was born on November 19, 1940, the youngest child of Harvey and Alta Harmon from Pattonsburg Missouri.  

 

Barbara dedicated her time and resources to helping those in need.  She was a Trustee of the Board of St. Luke’s Foundation, Chairman of the St. Luke’s North Foundation Board, and a member of the St. Luke’s Home Care and Hospice Board.  Barbara was instrumental in raising funds to build the St. Luke’s Hospice House on Southwest Trafficway and was responsible for the design, creation and funding of the beautiful “Tree of Life” stained glass window which graces the facility’s chapel.

 

She also served on the Geary Community Hospital Board where the Tom and Barbara Fegan Intensive Care Unit was named in honor of Barbara and her husband Tom.  She served on a number of boards and advisory boards including the Midwest Innocence Project and Medical Mission Foundation.
