Barbara did not have children of her own so she became a 'second mom' and extended grandma to many throughout the Clearfield community. She enjoyed hosting Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas dinners: usually there was a dinner for the single people and another for the married couples. Barbara loved to play cribbage and cards. In her later years, she enjoyed her 'get-aways' to the casino.
Barbara loved to go fishing and she would take kids and make sure they knew how to bait their hooks and catch their fish. She was a wonderful cook and will be remembered for her fried chicken, potato salad, pies, home canned pickles, cinnamon rolls…just to name a few.
Barbara passed away on March 17, 2016 at the age of 83 years, 11 months, and 29 days. She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers Keith & Virgil Deardorff, Jr; sister Verna Fletchall; and twins Bennie Lou and Betty Sue and infant brother Charles Myles.
Those left to cherish her memory include her sisters Bonnie (Jerry) Fletchall and Connie Asher; brother Phillip Deardorff; sister-in-law Joanie Deardorff; several nieces and nephews; many friends including special friends, Dixie Larsen, Sharon England, Opal Neece, and Pat Long.
A memorial fund has been established in her name.
