BARBARA JO SCHMITT PETERSON
August 9, 2019
Barbara Peterson died August 3, 2019, resulting from a short illness. She was 74. Barbara was born in 1945 to Bertha and Leo Schmitt. She grew up in Alva, Oklahoma, and Southern California. She met her future husband, Edward D. Peterson, while attending BYU and the two were married in the Salt Lake Temple on September 1, 1965. Following their schooling, the Petersons moved to San Diego, California, where they raised their three children, Craig, Amy and Amanda. After raising their family in California, Barbara and Edward moved back to Utah Valley to be closer to family.
Barbara had a vibrant personality and was a friend to all those whom she met. She loved serving her family and those around her. She served in many leadership positions in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She also served as president of the PTA at Emerald Jr. High in El Cajon, California. Barbara loved fashion and home décor and spent many hours assisting others with her decorating and design talents.
She is survived by her husband, Edward, her three children, eleven grandchildren and her sister Leann Schmitt Fulton whom she loves dearly. While she will be missed by those who remain in mortality, we are comforted in knowing that her marriage and family are sealed for eternity.
