Barbara Sue Brotherton

Barbara "Barb" Sue Brotherton (Jones), age 56, passed away on December 29, 2025, at her home in Hopkins, Minnesota. Those who knew Barb will remember her as a loving daughter, devoted sister and sister‑in‑law, proud aunt, cherished wife and loyal friend. Visitation will be held on Thursday, January 22, 2026, from 10:00 until 11:00 a.m. at Mount Olivet Lutheran Church, 5025 Knox Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota. A memorial service will begin at 11:00 a.m. followed by a luncheon at Mount Olivet Lutheran Church. Born on April 17, 1969, in Ortonville, Minnesota, Barb was the daughter of David and Beverly (Luckhurst) Jones. After graduating from Ortonville High School, she attended Minnesota State University Moorhead and later earned her MBA from Baker College. During her college years, Barb became a proud member of Delta Zeta sorority, a commitment that blossomed into one of the great passions of her life. Long after graduation, she continued to volunteer to the organization, serving in numerous local and national roles, including National Panhellenic Chairman and Governing Board Member as National VP of Alumnae. Through Delta Zeta, she built lifelong friendships, mentored women, and found a sense of purpose and community. Professionally, Barb spent 21 years at Bremer Bank in a variety of marketing roles. Managing corporate sponsorships and cause-based marketing became some of her favorite responsibilities-not just because of the work itself, but because of the many people she met along the way. Her career also included roles with Second Harvest Heartland and International Dairy Queen, where she continued her commitment to cause-based marketing and special events. Service was central to her life. She volunteered with the Twin Cities Marathon, Race for the Cure, and served on the Firefly Sisterhood board, while also giving her time and support to Delta Zeta. She believed in giving back, and she lived that every day. Barb is survived by her sisters Colleen (Brian) Pribyl of Crosby, Minnesota, and Michelle (Pat) Daly of Victoria, Minnesota; her brother Larry (Tina) Jones of Plymouth, Minnesota; and nieces and nephews Ashley (Matt) Parker, Tyler Jones (Grant Rubin), Kyle (Caitlin) Pribyl, and Patrick Daly (Alexa Johnson, fiancee). She is also lovingly remembered by great-nieces and nephews Henry, Eleanor, and Oliver Parker; Sophia Pribyl; and Kiernan Rubin-Jones, along with many cousins. She is preceded in death by her husband of 18 years, James Brotherton, and by her parents, David and Beverly Jones.
