It\u2019s with my deepest sorrow that we announce the unexpected passing of one of Allied\u2019s family members.<\/span><\/p>\n Barbara Scheele passed peacefully in her sleep on Saturday, January 27th<\/sup>.<\/span><\/p>\n Barb\u2019s company, Sun West Recovery, Inc. in Punta Gorda, Florida flourished under her leadership. She was a true inspiration to her employees; it was apparent she considered them her family.<\/span><\/p>\n She looked after them as if they were her own. I had the privilege of chatting with Barb many times about situations within her company as well as industry problems. Her insight and knowledge showed through every time, proving she was a truly dedicated leader.<\/span><\/p>\n Barb held many positions within Allied and most recently she held the office of Past President. Barbs’ dedication to the industry made her a pioneer in numerous ways. Her enthusiasm and dedication was demonstrated in everything she did. Barb\u2019s bigger-than-life personality and infectious smile along with the constant glow of radiance and professionalism that surrounded her made her a true legend within the repossession industry.\u00a0 Barb could take the worst of days and find something positive about it. She had the unique ability to talk to anyone and help them through any situation with her knowledge, wisdom, dignity, and kind heart.<\/span><\/p>\n Barb has touched many lives, and her passing will be difficult for most of us. Her unexpected passing will leave a large gap in a lot of lives, but her legacy will live on in the hearts of everyone she touched.<\/span><\/p>\n Allied Finance Adjusters is so proud to have been associated with her!\u00a0 We waited over the weekend to make a public statement about her passing out of respect for her family, and to verify the information we were given about her passing. We simply would not risk making such a shocking announcement without affording it the dignity that exemplified Barb\u2019s every action. Allied plans to make a donation to the RABF<\/span><\/a> in Barb\u2019s honor.<\/span><\/p>\n Or, you can use this QR code.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Godspeed, Barb, Rest in Peace.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 9400 Indian Springs Road<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Punta Gorda, Florida<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Friday, February 2nd<\/sup>, 2024<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Visitation Noon to 1pm<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Services 1-2pm<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Past Allied Finance Adjusters President Barbara Scheele Passes Away It\u2019s with my deepest sorrow that…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28399,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1183,5],"tags":[52,103,966,132,8,905,133,765],"class_list":["post-28402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-afa","category-news","tag-afa","tag-allied-finance-adjusters","tag-funeral","tag-rabf","tag-repo-agency","tag-repossession-agency","tag-repossession-association","tag-repossession-industry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28402"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28402\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28413,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28402\/revisions\/28413"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Beloved](\"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Scheele_Barbara-201x300.jpg\")
