Except for 2 years during college, Barb Doppelt has lived her entire life in Illinois, most of it in Glen Ellyn. She is an active member of Glen Ellyn First United Methodist Church, she plays handbells at Downers Grove First United Methodist, and she and her son participate in the STARS Ministry of College Church, Wheaton, but she feels particularly blessed to have been a part of the ministry of Southminster for almost 30 years. She has two adult children, Bryan and Becky; Becky is married to Josh, and they are the parents of Barb’s two adorable grandsons.
