In loving memory of Barbara Pollman: 1931-2026

Posted
Barbara Louise Fors Pollman, 94, left this earth to be with her Savior early in the morning on April 2, 2026. She was very sure of her eternal destination and eagerly looked forward to running into the arms of Jesus, where she would join her husband, Jack; mother, Evelyn; father, Carl; and numerous loved ones who are already there.

Barbara lived a generous and loving life in Lewis County, from her birth in Centralia in 1931 to Carl and Evelyn Fors, to her marriage in 1953 to Raymond “Jack” Pollman, then a move to the Cispus area near Randle in 1966 with their children, John and Suzi.

Barbara spent many decades blessing choirs, groups and soloists with her musical talents, humor and generosity. She had a ready smile and an open, friendly nature and was loved and admired by all who knew her. Kindness was her trademark.

She is survived by her son, John (Mary) Pollman; daughter, Suzi (Merle) Core; grandson, Anders (Kacey) Pollman; grandsons, Adam (Jamie) Core, Tierney (Kelly) Core and Seamus Core; several great-grandchildren; and nieces and nephews.

Barbara’s constant prayer was that her family and friends would love the Lord, love one another, always be kind, quickly forgive, and live in harmony.

In honor of her specific wishes, no memorial service will be held.
