Barbara loved and truly felt blessed for her 5 children whose hearts she will reside in forever: Deborah (Martin) Merz, Carolyn Francis-McLucas, Paula (Charles) Neville, Steven (Sandy) Francis, Pamela (Jeffrey) Saviers. Continued blessings of 8 grandchildren: Michael (Amanda) Neidig, Tim (Kaylea) Kaiser, Jessica (Michael) Christie, Jason Neville, Jamie (James) Grego, Meagan McLucas, Kenny McLucas, Ashley (Jake) Jolly. Even more blessings of 10 great grandchildren, 1 great-great grandchild and many nieces and nephews.
Barbara grew up in Eaton, OH and graduated from Eaton High School. She went on to marry and have children. Later as a single mother she was a hard worker and good provider. Her primary skills were computer processing and programming. She worked for Pratt and Whitney and the Ohio EPA. After retiring she moved back to take care of her mother and father in Camden, OH. She returned and resided in Columbus OH for the past 15 years. She was a kind, salt of the earth Christian and now she is home, in heaven.
Until we meet again… We love you Mom.
Per Barbara's wishes, there will be no services at this time.
