Hempleman, Barbara Florence (Hampe) 95 died August 15 2020. Beloved Mother survived by sons Warwick and Terry Hempleman, daughters in law Camilla Hempleman and Daniela Guelden, brother Barry Hampe and grandson Evan Little. Preceded in death by Parents Florence and Warren Hampe, brothers Dr. Warren Hampe and Rev. Philip Hampe. Born in PA and raised in PA and Mass, Barbara left the Northeast in 1948 to teach at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, North Carolina where she spent the majority of her career. Barbara earned a BA in History from Wooster College, an M. A. in History at NYU and a Masters in Library Science at Atlanta University. She was an inspirational and innovative educator, an Elder and Deacon of the Warren Wilson Presbyterian Church and an ardent supporter of equal rights for all! In retirement Barbara served her community by volunteering at the Asheville Food shelf and ran the library at the Swannanoa Correctional Center for Women. In 2013 Barbara moved to MN to be closer to son Terry. She continued her volunteerism at the Augustana running the "current Events" group and helping in the library. Among her many achievements she was proudest of her 2 sons Wick and Terry! Barbara had a big smile, unflagging optimism and when asked she couldn't think of anybody she didn't like. Her smile, wit and humor will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
