Barbara J. Wynkoop, 62, of Maumee, Ohio, was called home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, May 9, 2025.  Barb was born September 16, 1962, at the former St. Joseph Hospital in Flint, Michigan, the daughter of Francis J. "Joe" and Nancy E. (Goza) Ranger.  She was a 1981 graduate of Ogemaw Heights High School in West Branch, Michigan.  Barb met Timothy F. Wynkoop at the St. Helen Assembly of God church, and they were united in marriage on July 30, 1983, at the Houghton Lake Assembly of God church in Prudenville, Michigan.  Barb worked for Walmart, Inc. her entire career, holding several positions over her 38 years with the company, before retiring in 2022.  She attended Calvary Church in Maumee for many years, before being called to the Church of the Cross in Toledo.  Barb's love of God, and for others, radiated through her involvement with the Missions committees, donations to the church food banks and numerous quilts she lovingly made for the Quilts of Valor Foundation and Newborns in Need.  She enjoyed working in the yard, gardening, and was especially proud of her beautiful roses.  Most of all, Barb loved her family, especially her three grandchildren.
