The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, April 10, 2007
Barbara Jean (Robson) Pepper, aged 71, of Clarksville, died April 6, 2007 due 
to complications of pancreatic cancer.  Her family, though saddened by their 
loss is also rejoicing knowing Barbara is in the arms of her Savior, and 
reunited with her husband, Roger E. Pepper, who preceded her in death in April 
of 1988.  Barbara and Roger were married October 23, 1954 in Saranac, and 
established their home in Clarksville.

Barbara was employed by Lakewood Public Schools for over 30 years.  She worked 
as the librarian at the Clarksville Elementary School, until moving into the 
school’s secretary’s seat until her retirement.  She continued to volunteer at 
the elementary school through her illness.  She often commented that the staff 
at Clarksville Elementary was her second family.  Barbara was a lifelong 
member of the Saranac Community Church where she felt much love and support 
from the congregations.  

Barbara will be missed and remembered by her sons and their families, Rodney 
and Susan Pepper of Lake Odessa, and their children, Ryan (Jennifer), Brandon 
(Amy), Blake (Ashley) and great granddaughter, Lilly; Steven and Geri Pepper 
of Farmington Hills, and their children, Charlie and Amanda; and Dennis and 
Melinda Pepper of Clarksville, and their children, Jodi and Casey.  She is 
also survived by her sisters, Elaine and Paul Young, and Nancy and Roger 
Heffelbower; brother, Ron and Nikki Robson; her in-laws, Leo and Wanda Pepper, 
Joyce and Carroll Eckman, and Terry and Irene Pepper; and many nieces, 
nephews, and special friends.

The memorial service honoring Barbara will be held at 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 
15, 2007 at the Saranac Community Church (125 S. Bridge St.).  The family will 
receive relatives and friends at the church beginning at 1 p.m. on Sunday and 
continuing until the time of service.  Memorial contributions can be made in 
Barbara’s name to the Clarksville Elementary School’s Library, where she 
enjoyed many hours of reading to the children.  Arrangements were made by the 
Koops Funeral Chapel.
