Gathering of Family and Friends: 4-7 p.m. Wednesday, August 23, 2017, at Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services, Cedar Rapids. Survivors include her children, Ken Drahos, Karen Spading, Jenifer (Susan) Drahos, Ann Drahos, and Rebecca Drahos; grandchildren, Candice Luter, Connor and Maxwell Smith-Drahos, and Meagan Drahos, Nicholas, and Maddeline Wilson; great-granddaughter, Monet Young; siblings, Linda Drahos and John Schick; and many extended family members and friends. Barbara Eva Schick was born February 9, 1940, to Michael and Martha (Diedrich) Schick, in Stacyville, Iowa. She attended Mount Vernon High School, where she played the bass drum. She later earned her art degree from Kirkwood Community College, and especially liked doing pencil sketching and drawing. Barb enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren, and belonged to the Foster Grandparents Program through Cedar Rapids schools, where she was known as 'Granny Barb'. She was a free-spirited person, and was known to take road trips with no destination required, stopping to view overlooks and interesting historical landmarks. Later in life, she could be found knitting hats to donate, and listening to Life 101.9 or watching Iowa Public Television. She was preceded in death by her parents. Barb's family would like to thank the staff at Heritage and Care Initiatives Hospice for their genuine kindness and care of mom.
