Barbara Jo Wess passed away on March 12, 2023. She was 75 years old and was born and raised in Avon Lake, Ohio. In 1969 Barb married Jerome A. Wess, and they raised their family primarily in Avon Lake, Ohio and in Northern Baltimore County. Barb was the proud mother of three sons, and even more proud to be Grammy to five wonderful grandchildren.
Her greatest loves were family, friends, spending time at the beach, gardening, reading, cooking, and cross- stitching. Barb always enjoyed hearing and telling a good joke.
Barbara is survived by her devoted husband Jerry of Monkton, MD; her sons, Christopher (Alyson) of Skillman, NJ, Thomas (Shannon) of Palmyra, PA, Ryan of Englewood, CO; and grandchildren Ellie, Georgia, Kendall, Danny, and Kelsey.
A Celebration of Barbara’s Life will be held on Friday, March 24, 2023, at Clynmalira United Methodist Church (2920 Stockton Road, Phoenix, MD 21131) beginning at 11 AM with her burial immediately following the service at the church cemetery.
