Barbara Ann Hatlelid (Flohr), beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, passed away peacefully on April 24, 2025, in Chandler, Arizona. Born in Albert Lea, Minnesota on August 12, 1942, to Mildred (Wojcik) and Henry Flohr, Barbara was raised in North Dakota and obtained her pharmacy degree at North Dakota State University. She later relocated to Casa Grande, Arizona, and then to St. Croix, USVI, until returning to Casa Grande in 2002. After retirement she enjoyed making and selling her handcrafted jewelry. She traveled extensively throughout the Caribbean, and to Ireland, England, and Mexico. She obtained her scuba certification and took flying lessons while living in the USVI. She was an avid Phoenix Suns fan and enjoyed performing in community theater. A true lover of cats and dogs, Barbara found joy and purpose in providing a warm and loving home to countless furry companions over the years. She is survived by her three daughters, Theresa Hatlelid-Rodriquez (David) of Casa Grande, Kristina Hatlelid (Alicia Saffer) of Rockville, Maryland, and Lauri Hatlelid; of Baton Rouge, Louisiana; one grandchild, Cassandra Vernon (Roy), and great-grandchild, Arianna, of Casa Grande; and her sister Brenda Moore (Russ), of Tampa, Florida. She was preceded in death by her sister, June Price, and her great grandson, Sterling Vernon. Barbara will be remembered for her kind heart, gentle spirit, and love of her family. No service is planned. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your favorite animal charity, or to the Alzheimer's Association.

Leave the earth with beauty

Earth specializes in soil transformation, an environmentally-friendly alternative to burial and cremation. Over a 45-day process, we gently transform a body into nutrient-rich soil. We then send this soil to our local conservation land where it’s used for restoration projects such as reforestation and nourishing challenged ecosystems.
