Barbara (Joan) Deines Tofflemoyer

Barbara (Joan) Deines Tofflemoyer, 85, of Montrose, Colorado, passed away on May 12, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on March 15, 1940, Joan was raised by her parents, Henry and Irene Deines, alongside her six siblings: Bob, Betty, Bill, Donna, Patsy, and Dick Deines. Her early years were filled with the laughter and closeness of a large, devoted family.

Joan was first married to Bill Wilson, with whom she had three sons: Mike, Rick, and Ron Wilson. She later found lasting love with Dick Tofflemoyer, her husband of 35 years. Together, Joan and Dick built a joyful and bustling family that grew to include 21 grandchildren including great-grandchildren—with one more on the way.

Joan lived a full and vibrant life. She found enjoyment in reading, gardening, and dancing, and she never passed up a good shopping trip. She cherished time spent camping, four-wheeling, and, most of all, being surrounded by her family. Her warmth, sense of humor, and feisty spirit left an indelible mark on everyone who knew her.

A celebration of Joan’s life will be held on Monday, June 9th, at 1 p.m. at Rivers Church in Delta, Colorado. All who knew and loved her are welcome to attend.

Joan will be dearly missed and forever remembered for the joy and strength she brought into the lives of so many.
