It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved founder, Barb Ziegler, after a courageous and prolonged health battle.
Barb was a devoted mother, loving grandmother, dear friend, mentor, and so much more, we are proud to have known her and learned from her.
Barb’s unwavering vision and determination were the foundation upon which Trailhead Community was built. Her legacy will forever inspire us as we continue the mission she so passionately believed in.
More than anything, Barb wanted to see the job finished and our mission fulfilled. We remain committed to making her vision a reality. Barb taught us what it means to "Never Give Up". All those on the Trailhead Community team are reminded of that importance now. Trailhead Community was started by a group of parents who all were concerned for their kids well being after they had passed. Barb never gave up and next week her daughter has a safe home and community to help her through this very difficult loss. While she won't get to live this dream with us, her legacy—through Stepping Stone Support Center, Trailhead Community, and her incredible family—will continue to inspire and uplift us for generations to come.
Please join us in celebrating her birthday as we share stories, laughter, and community, reflecting on the beautiful impact Barb made on the world. In honor of Barb’s vibrant spirit, we invite everyone to dress casually and, if you’d like, wear something yellow or anything that makes you think of her.
