Barbara B. (Brunsell) Adamany was reunited with her husband, Nimmer, on October 7th when she passed away peacefully at home. Barbara, the daughter of Harold (Fred) and Elizabeth Brunsell, was born at their home on West Main Street in Evansville on February 9th, 1929. She grew up in a loving home with her brothers, Bob and Bill, and her sister Betty. The “4 B’s”, as they were affectionately known, were very close and they remained that way throughout the years. Barbara graduated from Evansville… High School in 1946; and she furthered her education, earning a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, majoring in English and minoring in French. Barbara married her true love, Nimmer Adamany, in 1955 and the two of them truly lived the ideal of what a marriage should be. They were the proud parents of two daughters, Lisa and Laurie. After Nimmer’s death in 1977, she took over his role co-managing the Grange Store in Evansville with her brother Bill. She also became the sole proprietor of Lisa’s Style Shop at Creston Park in Janesville, a women’s clothing store. She was a very successful business woman until she retired in 1995. Barbara was caring, compassionate and generous. She always strove to promote the best in others. She always treated others with dignity and respect because, “It’s the right thing to do.” Barbara was a funny, quick-witted, yet poised individual. She would always speak her mind and rendered her opinion whenever she thought it was necessary. She truly loved her dogs, vacationing in the Caribbean islands, doing complicated jigsaw puzzles and she was a master at redesigning household blueprints. Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, husband Nimmer, an infant daughter, brothers William and Robert Brunsell, and son-in-law-law John Hunstad. She is survived by her two daughters, Laurie (James) Plourde of Monroe, Wisconsin and Lisa Hunstad of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, grandchildren Lauren (Aaron) Zivkovich, Nimmer Plourde, and Elizabeth Hunstad. She is also survived by two great grandchildren Lillian Plourde and Henry Zivkovich.
