Barb's heart was in her home! Her caring, loving and feisty personality made her home a special gathering place. Her kitchen was never closed and many people considered her a second mom. Barb's house bloomed with flowers every summer, a benefit of her green thumb. She was passionate about her children, grandchildren and pets. She was the original DIY queen and she loved shopping at TJ Maxx. While her heart gave out, she will live forever in our hearts. She is survived by her husband, Thomas M. Wetmore, Hancock; four children, Steve LaMore, Oshkosh, Mark (Andrea) LaMore, Neshkoro, Nichole (Timothy) Frank, Westfield, Cari Wetmore (fiancé Nick Zuege), Hancock; 11 grandchildren, Breeanna & Dalton LaMore, Jonas & Jessie LaMore, Isiah "Izzy" de la Fuente, Eve & Leopold "Leo" Frank, Mason, Leeland, Lucy and Lily Zuege; two sisters, Sue (Steve) Laushine, Fort Walton Beach, FL, Rose (Steve) Pauly, St. Cloud, WI; her mother-in-law, Colleen Wetmore, Hancock; brother-in-law, Tim (Pat) Wetmore, Wisconsin Rapids; dear lifelong friends, Roger and Char Stratton, Hancock.
