Barbara Wollam
Barbara Joan (Zahn) Wollam, age 86, passed away peacefully on the evening of Mother’s Day, May 11, 2025, at the Iowa River Hospice House in Marshalltown, Iowa. Her children and grandchildren were at her side as Sweet Adeline four-part harmony music played – music that was part of her lifelong story.
A Memorial Service for Barb will take place at 1:00 p.m., Monday, July 28, 2025, at First Presbyterian Church in Marshalltown. A luncheon will immediately follow the service at the church. Burial will follow lunch at Riverside Cemetery in Marshalltown. This is scheduled near the date of her sister Bonnie’s service on July 26 in Minneapolis. This timing will allow extended family to gather and honor both sisters during one trip. Visitation was held Tuesday, May 27, at Anderson Funeral Homes from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks for donations to be made to the Heart of Iowa Sweet Adeline Chorus, a non-profit that brought Barbara so much joy for nearly fifty years, or to the Iowa River Hospice House of Marshalltown, in gratitude for the compassionate care and support they provided during her final days. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew her.Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Anderson Funeral Homes of Marshalltown.
