Barbara Ann Keupp

Oct. 11, 1943 – Nov. 11, 2019

Barbara Burgeson, 77, died on Monday, Nov. 11, 2019, at North Idaho Hospice in Coeur d’Alene, after suffering from a long bout with COPD.

Barbara was born Oct. 11, 1943, in Sioux Falls, S.D., to Vern and Rose Keupp. At age five, she moved to Custer, S.D., with her parents and they opened Vern’s Body Shop. Barbara’s school years were spent in Custer.

In 1967, she was married to Donald Burgeson, in Custer, and they moved to his rural farm in Onida, S.D., where they were blessed with three children: Tammy Osborn, Mike Burgeson and Mark Burgeson. In 1992, they retired from farming and moved to Coeur d’Alene.

Barbara was happiest when she was camping, fishing, traveling and when the whole family came home for the holidays. Barbara was an adventurous person who even raced family-owned stock cars on the ice of Stockade Lake.

Barbara is survived by her children, Tammy (Dean) Osborn, Michael (Stephanie) and Mark (Laura); five grandchildren: Justin (Heather) Osborn, Brody Burgeson, Hudson Burgeson, Isaac Burgeson and Nicholas Burgeson; brother, Harrold Keupp; and her cousin, Penny Ingles.

Barbara was preceded in death by one son, Bruce Allen Burgeson, who died at birth; her parents, Vern and Rose Keupp; sister, Darlene Richter; and husband, Donald.
