Barbara Paula Mogerman

Barbara was born to Mary and George Troutfelt on January 10, 1938, in San Francisco, California. As a small child, she was enrolled in tap dancing school, where she excelled and found great joy. It wasn’t long until Barbara was dancing in her “Shirley Temple curls” to entertain the American soldiers during World War II.

As a preteen, Barbara’s family relocated from San Francisco to Salt Lake City. During her senior year of high school, Barbara met a young medical student, Stanley Neal Mogerman. As a college freshman at the University of Utah, Barbara was reintroduced to Stan at a Hillel party. He soon became the love of her life. At 18 and 23 years old, Barbara and Stan were married.

Two years into their marriage, the young couple moved to San Francisco where Stan began his medical internship at the newly built Kaiser Foundation Hospital on Geary Boulevard. During Stan’s residency at Kaiser, their eldest daughter, Julie, was born. Three years later, Barbara and Stan purchased their first home, an atrium Eichler in Terra Linda where their other two daughters, Diana and then Laura arrived into the world. In 1972, they moved their young family into their dream home in Tiburon.

Barbara and Stan maintained a deep love during their marriage of 58 years, until Stan’s passing in 2014. They enjoyed a full life of traveling, ballroom dancing and spending time with their children, grandchildren, extended family and friends.

Barbara is survived by her daughters: Julie Goldwyn (David), Diana Maureen (Glenn) and Laura LaBouve (Daniel); five grandchildren: Josh Goldwyn, Bryan Goldwyn, Ashley Maureen, Stephanie LaBouve (Zachary), Eric LaBouve and two great-grandchildren.
