Barbara J. DenaultApril 13, 1942 - February 27, 2025Barbara J. Denault, 82, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and sister passed away peacefully on February 27, 2025, at Carriage Crossing Senior Living in Bloomington, IL where she resided since 2020. Barbara was the third of five daughters born to Clarence and Antoinette (Toni) Wilkins in Bradley, IL on April 13, 1942. She attended school and Mass at St. Joseph Church in Bradley, IL which shaped the faith she lived. She later instilled her faith in her children and shared it with others through her kindness and hugs. Despite an appreciation for fine clothes, enjoyment for the Bradley-way-of-life, and cruising the square in her '57 Chevy, she fell in love with and married Ivan Denault, a farmer from Herscher, IL, on July 6, 1963, at her home church. She prided herself on learning to drive the tractors and being able to contribute to the family farm operation and proving every day to her dad that she could indeed be a farmer's wife. Iva
