      Barbara Jo Hanifen, known as BJ or Barbie to family, passed away on March 30, 2009, at her home in Elko.

      Barbara was born on Dec. 29, 1955, in Ironton, Mo., to Henry and Martha Twomey. Barbara grew up with a large family including five sisters and three brothers. Barbara graduated high school in Missouri and later graduated college from Delaware with a degree in construction.

      Barbara married Gene Harrington in 1975 and had two children, Toni and Scott. Barbara remarried Jerome Ketterling in 1982 and celebrated seven years of marriage, which included lots of travel and taking in foreign culture. In 1992, BJ married her husband Timothy Hanifen of the last 17 years. They spent most of that time in Montana, raising a garden, spending time with their children and grandchildren, Lander, Jacob, Paige, Peyton and Bella, and spoiling their three Dachshunds, Doc, Molly and Cricket.

      She was a nurse's assistant for many years and put her heart into taking care of patients, many of whose lives she touched and who touched hers. BJ was a empathetic, generous woman with a sarcastic sense of humor.

      BJ's passions were her family, gardening, her dogs, camping, fishing, and the outdoors. She loved spending Thanksgiving with her family and cooking a delicious meal.

      BJ is survived by her husband, Timothy Hanifen of Elko; daughter Toni Potts (Mathew) of Forsyth, Mont.; son Scott Harrington (Jackie) of Forsyth; stepson Chris Hanifen of Big Sky, Mont.; stepdaughter Jennifer Hanifen of Puyallup, Wash.; grandchildren Lander, Paige and Peyton Potts of Forsyth; grandchildren Jacob and Bella Harrington of Forsyth; sisters Judy (Percy) Brazier of Chesterfield, Va., Dodi Twomey of San Diego, Donna (Glenn) Scovil of Dover, Del.; brother Hank Twomey of Bonne Terre, Mo.; brother Zack (Violet) Twomey of Bonne Terre; sister Zabada of Missouri and brother Zane of Missouri. BJ is also survived by all her beloved nieces and nephews.

      Barbie will join those who preceded her in death, Grandma and Grandpa Twomey, Grandma and Grandpa Pettus, Father and Mother Henry and Martha Twomey, and sister Cricket Twomey.

      Barbara will be missed, but we will cherish the time we had with her and treasure the memories and love she left behind.

      Visitation will be held on Wednesday, April 8, from 1 to 6 p.m., in the chapel of Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home in Forsyth.

      Funeral service will be held on Thursday, April 9, at 11 a.m., in the chapel of Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home in Forsyth.
