Fogel, Barbara Ann age 68, of Minneapolis, passed away at home on Nov. 29, 2013 of cancer. Preceded in death by her father, Frank E. Kramer.

She will also be missed by cousins, Kay (Dave) Peterson and Mel (Doreen) Dario; sister-in-law, Pat Sorlien; countless dear friends, and her loyal Shih Tzu companions, Tom and Jerry. Barb was born on December 18, 1944 in St. Paul. She attended Holy Spirit School and graduated from Our Lady of Peace High School in 1962, where she made many life-long friends. Barb worked first as an x-ray technician and then as a flight attendant for Northwest Airlines. In 1967, Barb married her first husband Bruce Reinhart. They spent two years in Izmir, Turkey before returning to South Minneapolis to raise their daughters Jen and Amy Jo. Barb spread beauty wherever she went: as an interior designer, dressing women in designer clothing and as an admissions counselor at Lowthian Fashion School. Barb married her second husband, Jimmy Fogel in 1988. Together, Barb and Jimmy blended their families and created a life together that included Shih-Tzu puppies, walks around the lake, world travel, trips to Madeline Island, caring for grandchildren, and entertaining friends and family in their beautifully restored home. An avid gardener at home and beyond, she championed the restoration at nearby Thomas Lowry Park. Barb will be remembered for her vibrant spirit, her openness, and the meaningful way she connected with everyone on a genuine level. Full of radiant light, inside and out, she brought joy, elegance, and style to those around her, and will be dearly missed.
