Barb (as she preferred to be called), was born on May 11, 1933, on a farm west of Creighton, to John and Florence (Cool) Brandt. She was the third oldest of 9 children. On March 16, 1962, she married Joseph (Joe) Boubin, Jr. of Leigh. The couple farmed in Stanton County until July of 1995.

Barb enjoyed her grandchildren, great grandchildren, gardening, and playing her 6-sided harmonica and button accordion at various venues for others to enjoy. She always said it was "therapy" for her to see the joy it brought to others. She was a life member of the VFW Auxiliary, New Zion Presbyterian Church, the Stimulus Czech band, and the Clarkson Community Czech band.
