Barbara J. Everson, 73
Barbara J. Everson, 73, lifelong resident of New Prague, passed away on Tuesday, June 7, 2022, at St. Francis Regional Medical Center in their hospice care unit in Shakopee, MN. She was born on September 23, 1948, in New Prague, MN, to Edward and Evelyn Kohout.
Barbara was married to Tom Everson, on May 21, 1977, for 40 years prior to his passing in 2007. She was known to have this amazing spirit about her, one that could light up a room as soon as she entered it. She was the type of woman who could make anything happen out of nothing, and yet still make it the most enjoyable experience for everyone around her. It’s not coincidental she will be missed by so many, especially the ones that stole Barb’s heart the most, her grandchildren.
Barbara is survived by her long-time companion, Tom Young; daughter, Michelle Crosby, Montgomery, MN; son, Kurtis (Bridget) Crosby, Waterville, MN; daughter, Laurie (Scott) Peterson, Minnesota Lake, MN; daughter Shadylee (Graham) Everson, Le Center, MN; son, Tommy (Cassie) Everson, Le Sueur, MN; along with 18 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren as well. She is preceded in death by her parents, her late husband Tom Everson, brother Edward “Sonny” Kohout, Jr., three grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
Please join us in celebrating the life of Barbara Everson on Friday, June 17, 2022, at the American Legion in Montgomery from 4-8 p.m.
