Barbara K. (Row) Munson
The curtain fell on the final act in the life of Barbara Kay (Row) Munson of Seattle, WA on August 7, 2018, at Northwest Hospital. She exited the stage of this life in the presence of her husband and friends from high school.
Barbara is survived by her beloved husband of 18 years, Mark A. Munson; her father Deryk G. Row of Normandy Park, WA; her sister Patti L. Ryan of New York, NY; nieces Lee-Ann Houlahan of Bellingham, WA and Angela Staab of Marysville, WA and nephew Peter Barone of Arlington She is preceded in death by her mother Estelle L. "Pat" (Patterson) Row and sister Carol Lee Hawk.
Barbara was born on October 22, 1951, in Seattle, WA to Deryk and Estelle Row. She graduated from Mount Rainier High School in Des Moines, WA in 1970 where she excelled in drama, singing and individual speaking. She graduated from the University of Washington in 1974 with a B.A. in Drama. During her time at the University of Washington she was a member of the Nu chapter of Alpha Xi Delta. Barbara worked for 17 years in Information technology for The Boeing Company as a programmer and project manager. She also sang in the Boeing Choir. After leaving Boeing she became an independent distributer with the World Wide Dream Builders. She met the love of her life and married Mark on November 17, 2000. They made a cozy and welcoming home northwest of Green Lake with a garden full of Barbara's favorite flower, the Rose.
Barbara had three passions in life, her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, acting and music. Brought up in St Columba's Episcopal Church in Des Moines, WA, she let Jesus into her life in high school. At John Knox Presbyterian Church in Normandy Park, WA she sang the Lord's praises in the choir and directed the annual Christmas program for years. She also completed a yearlong Bible class studying all the books from Genesis through The Book of Revelation.
As a teenager Barbara toured with the performing group Hi-Liners consisting of students from the Highline School District. Barbara had may starring roles in plays and musicals including Bye Bye Birdie, Mrs. Benson in The Life and Death of Larry Benson, Cheaper by the Dozen, Lucy in You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, Julie Jordan in Carousel, Maria in West Side Story, Maria in The Sound of Music and Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.
Her classically trained soprano voice filled many a church. Most recently she led the soprano section in the Northwest Chorale as they performed Mendelssohn's Elijah, Handel's Messiah and Israel in Egypt. She also used her musical knowledge to train dozens of local signers.
While cancer took her from us, her kindness and love of life will remain in our hearts forever.
