Louise Rose McGeehan Barta

"WHO CAN FIND A VIRTUOUS WOMEN ? FOR HER PRICE IS FAR ABOVE RUBIES" Proverbs 31:10 Our Mother, Louise Rose McGeehan Barta was a virtuous woman. She passed peacefully at home surrounded by her family on February 26, 2020. Louise was born January 12, 1928 to William and Angelina McGeehan in Leadville, a small mining town in Colorado. She met Donald Barta the love of her life and married April 11, 1954 and were together 52 years. They moved to Salt Lake City, where their children were raised : DeEtta Barta, Susan Stevens, and Nancy Peer Roguschka (Martin). They had three grandsons; Curtis Stevens (Sharon), Caleb Stevens (Sarah) and Dustin Peer and three great- grandsons. Louise went back to work full- time when her husband became ill with Rheumatoid Arthritis. She worked for the Board of Education, starting as a Receptionist and advanced to a Executive Secretary. Though working full- time, she gave her husband loving and attentive care for over 30 years. We (her daughters) found the meaning of her name Louise (Heroine) was lived out in her marriage and her loving care for her family. Another episode in her life was a bout with cancer at 40 years of age, which she did over come. During this period in her life, her best friend Donna Weron took her to a prayer meeting in back of the Catholic Church and she experienced the Baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT. As a result of her encounter, she began to study the BIBLE and her faith became a living relationship with JESUS ,the center of her life. Louise began to tell others the GOOD NEWS of Jesus and spent a significant part of her life sending friends and relatives the daily devotional "OUR DAILY BREAD". Her hope was after reading about the love of GOD and HIS WORD they would persuaded to follow Him. Her life and love had a profound effect on many (especially her daughters). Louise fought the good fight of faith and finished well. She will be extremely missed, but we (her family) know we will see her again, because Jesus died and rose again for her sins and she knew HIM. She would like all who read this to know that JESUS is the only way to heaven and she is now with HIM. Our family would like to thank Rocky Mountain Hospice for their excellent care of our mother, (especially Launa Caldwell RN.) The funeral will be held at Salt Lake Christian Center: 4300 South 700 East, on Friday, March 6, 2020. The viewing at 10:00am-11:00am then the Memorial Service 11:00am-12:00pm. She will be laid to rest at Mount Calvary Cemetery.
