Barbara Ann Sherbondy
Barbara Ann Sherbondy, age 89, of Newbury Township, peacefully passed away on May 30, 2024, at her home.
She was born to Arthur and Evelyn (nee Spoonhauer) Haines, in Canton.
In 1954, Barbara married George Sherbondy, the love of her life, at Lake Cable in Jackson Township. In Crestline, they built a loving home where they raised their family before later moving to Newbury.
Barbara was dedicated to and loved her work as a purchasing manager for Newbury Industries, where she served with distinction for many years.
Outside of work, she found joy in simple pleasures. She loved spending time at the beach, particularly Virginia Beach and Myrtle Beach, and cherished the many camping trips with her family. Barbara was very scheduled, dedicating every Friday to cleaning.
Shopping was Barbara’s favorite pastime, and her passion for it was well-known. She never missed an opportunity to visit a store, whether she was on the way to or from her kids’ sporting events or any other outing she always made time to shop.
Floral gardening was another of Barbara’s loves and her garden was always full of beautiful flowers. She was a wonderful cook and loved hosting gatherings, ensuring there was always plenty of delicious food for everyone. Her dog, Kobe, held a special place in her heart, providing her with companionship and joy.
Above all, Barbara’s greatest love was her family, and she found immense happiness in spending time with them. Her presence and warmth will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Barbara is survived by her loving children Steven (Karen) Sherbondy, of Newbury, Mike (Nancy) Sherbondy, of Chardon, and Nancy (Guy) Munn, of Newbury.
She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren, Benjamin Sherbondy, Amber (fiance Jimmy Dematties) Sherbondy, Nathan (Courtney) Munn, Jonathan (Ashley) Munn, Jordan (Chelsey) Munn and Ryan Munn. Her great-grandchildren, Madison and Brandon Sherbondy, Harper, Scarlett and Franklin Munn, and Cali and Lexi Munn will also carry forward her legacy of love.
Barbara was preceded in death by her parents; beloved husband, George Sherbondy; daughter Chris Anne Sherbondy; and sister, Mary Lou Fulton.
Friends and family are invited to a visitation on Friday, June 7, 2024, from 9:30-11 a.m. in the vestibule at St. Helen Catholic Church, 12060 Kinsman Road, Newbury. A Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 11 a.m., with the burial at Munn Cemetery in Newbury.
