545	|aBorn October 17, 1935; died May 11, 2003. Sister Barbara A. Kutchera was born on October 17, 1935 to Harold and Eleanor Kutchera, of Milwaukee, WI. She was the youngest of three, following Kathryn and Thomas. Barbara attended Christ the King School and the Holy Angels Academy. Upon graduation, she expressed her wish to become a nun, but her father insisted that she complete two years of college first. Once she completed this requirement at Marquette University, she began the process of becoming a member of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She was received into the order on March 19, 1956 and pronounced her final vows in 1963. In the meantime, Sister Barbara earned a Bachelor of Arts from Clarke College in 1959 and, later, a Master of Arts from Marquette University in 1964, and began teaching at Clarke College where she remained for another 28 years. In 1992, Sr. Barbara left Clarke and made plans for the creation of a BVM ministry site in Milwaukee where worked with incarcerated women in the Milwaukee County Jail and with women at the Shade Tree Family Clinic. Sr. Barbara traveled extensively during her life, taking a mission trip to Quito, Ecuador in 1979, and to work with migrant workers in California and North Carolina. She published many articles in Salt Magazine, and gave many workshops and talks.
