Obituary for Barbara Haupt


05/26/1958 - 09/04/2025


Preceded in death by parents Roland and Donna Froby, Barbara was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, and mother. She will be missed by her family in Cleveland Ohio as well as in the new community she immediately made herself a part of in the Murphy North Carolina mountains.

Unforgettable and kind, Barb became a neighbor and friend to all she met. She will be cherished and remembered every day by her husband Gary Haupt and daughter Kristen Haupt.

Barb now rests peacefully hand in hand once again with her son Ryan Haupt. In the words of David Bowie, “I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.”

Townson-Rose Funeral Home is in charge of all arrangements.
