Barb Gilling

Barb is a Milwaukee native where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting along with her CPA certification during her career in public accounting.   She’s lived in Green Bay for over 30 years with the past 28 working in the Controller position for Red Lewis and his PDQ Organization.

She is a past Board member of the Green Bay YMCA, past Board Chair of Bellin Psychiatric Hospital and currently serves on the Board of Directors for Bellin Health Systems along with the Automobile Gallery.

Barb is an empty nester living in De Pere with her fiancé Mick.  Her 2 sons live in Wisconsin yet, and although she was sad to see her daughter recently move to Edinburg with her Scottish husband, it has given her a beautiful new place to visit.

Her biggest project every year involves weeks of planning and is truly a labor of love.  It’s her annual cookie bake which brings close family and friends from as far away as Seattle to De Pere every December where they continue their long time family tradition of baking, decorating, and distributing over 35 varieties of holiday cookies. Last year’s count topping 660 dozen!
