Monday, June 9th, at the age of 86. She was the heart of our family — a constant source of
love, encouragement, and grace to everyone who knew her.
Barbara spent much of her career in the beauty industry, where she found great joy in helping
others feel confident and cared for. She worked as a counter manager for Lancôme, sharing her
eye for beauty and her genuine warmth with every client she met. Later, she became a territorial
manager for Aramis cologne, where her professionalism, kindness, and natural ability to
connect with people earned her the respect and admiration of many.
She brought her creativity and loving spirit into her work at the flower shop and later as a bridal
consultant at Irma’s Bridal, guiding countless brides through some of the most meaningful
moments of their lives.
But beyond any career or accomplishment, Barbara will be remembered most for the way she
made everyone feel — special, supported, and loved. She was truly a cheerleader for everyone,
offering encouragement, kind words, and a warm smile to anyone she met. Her ability to make
people feel seen and valued was one of her greatest gifts, and she shared it freely with both
loved ones and strangers alike. Her genuine friendliness and loving spirit left a lasting impact on
all who were fortunate to know her.
Barbara is survived by her daughter Allysa, her son-in-law Robert, and her granddaughters
Lauren and Sarah, as well as many dear friends and extended family who will forever cherish
her memory.
While our hearts are broken, we are endlessly grateful for the time we shared, the
memories we hold, and the love she gave so generously. Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever in our hearts.
A memorial gathering for Barbara will be held Sunday, June 22, 2025 from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM at Alleva Funeral Home, Inc., 1724 East Lancaster Ave, Paoli, PA 19301. A celebration of life will follow in the same location. A reception will begin after the service in Sajer Hall at Alleva Funeral Home.
