Barbara Ann Ellerbrock Obituary

Jan 01, 1949 - Oct 16, 2011

This obituary is administered by:

After a hard fought battle with leukemia, Barbara Ann Ellerbrock, 62, of Point Blank, Texas was called home to heaven on October 16, 2011 with her husband at her side. She was born on January 1, 1949 in Sandusky, Ohio to Alvin and Helen Knauer. She graduated from Whitmer High School and then from Bowling Green State University with a B.A. in education in 1971. That same year she married her high school sweetheart and soul mate, Michael Ellerbrock in Toledo, Ohio and began her career teaching third grade in the Washington Local School District. When a son, Thomas was born in 1974 she quit teaching to become a full time Mom. Later a daughter, Sheri was born in 1977. She joyfully followed her husband as his job moved from Toledo to Dallas Texas, Longview Texas and finally Kingwood Texas where she lived most of her life. When her two children began middle school she went back to teaching third and fourth grade in Humble ISD. She retired from teaching in 2007 and began enjoying life to the fullest. When Mike retired in 2011, they moved into their dream retirement home in Point Blank. Barb was a member of the Kingwood United Methodist Church and loved singing in the choir as well as attending bible studies and helping out around the Church. She loved working with children as an elementary teacher and just adored her four grandchildren. In the past 5 years or so she and Mike spent most weekends traveling around the state with their motorhome attending camping rallies with their many camping clubs. She enjoyed loading up the coach and heading down the highway on another adventure. She was looking forward to many extended camping trips around the country with Mike after his retirement. Barb was preceded in death by her parents, Alvin Knauer and Helen Abele of Fort Myers, Florida. She is survived by her loving husband Michael, son Thomas and wife Patricia, daughter Sheri Ware and husband Phil, her precious grandchildren Jacob and Zachary Ellerbrock, Reece and Hailey Ware, and her brothers Ken Knauer and wife Jennifer, Norm Knauer and wife Carol, and Richard Knauer and wife Pat. Barb was a loving wife, mother, grandma and friend to many. She will be greatly missed by all those that were touched by her smile and random acts of kindness. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in support of The in Barbs memory. Barb's life will be celebrated at noon on Thursday morning, October 20th at the Humble Rosewood Funeral Home. The service will be at 12 noon with visitation beforehand at 10:00 am.
