Lake Havasu City, Arizona -

Barbara Joan Moroney, a cherished soul in the heart of Lake Havasu City,
bid farewell on December 16th, 2023, at the age of 87, leaving behind a
tapestry of service to her community.

Hailing from the rugged landscapes of Alaska, she made history in 1972
as the inaugural female President of a Chamber of Commerce in the 49th
state, breaking barriers and paving the way for women in leadership. She
also won the Alaska State Realtor of the Year award more than once.

Barbara's love for Legends Bar and Grill extended to the vibrant Taco
Tuesdays, where she reveled in the lively atmosphere. Her love for good
times made her a great conversationalist and showcased her quick wit.
At the Senior Center, Barbara was a familiar face. She held the title of
the first to arrive every day, bringing a ray of sunshine and a
welcoming smile to kickstart the day for her fellow seniors and the
always kind staff.

Rotary Park was another haven for Barbara, where she found solace in
feeding the birds. Her love for nature and the simple joy of watching
the birds reflected her appreciation for life's quieter moments and the
beauty that surrounded her.

Barbara's sharp wit was as legendary as her love for Taco Tuesdays. She
embraced political banter with a twinkle in her eye, finding joy in
playful exchanges about differing views.

Barbara Joan Moroney is survived by her five children, Les, Eric, Lisa,
Theron and Joshua, who carry the legacy of her energy and wit. Her seven
grandchildren will forever cherish the memories of a grandmother who
made every moment special.

May she rest in eternal peace, surrounded by the love and gratitude of
those fortunate enough to have shared in her commitment, laughter, quick
wit and occasional middle finger!

Services were entrusted to the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home.
