Barbara Eilene (Curley) Pfeiffer, age 89, passed away peacefully August 23, 2020. Although congestive heart failure and COPD were significant conditions she endured for many years, the Covid-19 isolation slowly chiseled away on the health of this faith filled, strong willed woman. Born on October 4, 1930, Barbara was the oldest daughter of Joseph Arthur Curley and Florence Winifred (Farley) Curley. Being born at the start of the Great Depression molded the way in which she grew to handle life. At an early age, as she helped care for her younger siblings, she quickly learned the value of hard work, being resilient, and keeping the importance of God and family at the center of her universe. She met and married Thomas Leo Pfeiffer in 1954, and chose to devote her life and energy to raising their family. Arranging her work schedule around her children, Barbara worked nights and evenings as an assembly line tech at Rockwell Collins for many years. Barbara is survived by her brother, Ed Curley of Terre Haute, Indiana; sister, Mary McCracken of Green Valley, Arizona; her children, Mary Ann (Wayne) Grenard, Cindy Gunsolly, Robert Pfeiffer, Gina (Randy) Snyder, and Sandy (Jerry) Bacon; and former daughter-in-law Lisa Pfeiffer. She is also survived by 17 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; brothers, Lawrence, Kenneth, Gerald, and Joseph Curley; sisters, Shirley Mimms and Alice Huebel; and son-in-law, Brent Gunsolly. She loved to share her many talents with family and friends and spent most of her free time working on creative projects including sewing, jewelry making, cooking, and floral arranging. Making personalized quilts for her loved ones and playing cards were her favorite activities. A private family funeral mass will be held at All Saints Catholic Church, Cedar Rapids on Thursday, August 27, 2020. Burial will follow at Mt. Calvary Cemetery.
