her home in Phoenix, Maryland. She was born on December 5, 1952, in Palmyra,
Pennsylvania, a daughter to the late Carl and June Baum.
Barbara, or “Barbie,” was a graduate of Towson State University in Baltimore,
Maryland. She worked in New York as a high fashion model. She enjoyed traveling,
homemaking, and spending time with her family and golden retrievers. Anyone who
knew Barbara was touched by her kind smile, compassionate heart, and comforting
words, which she always knew to give, especially in time of need. Barbie was known
for her generous spirit and her love and service for God. Whether traveling far from
home or seated beside her beloved grandkids, Barbie always paid attention to people
and made them feel loved.
Barbara is survived by her beloved husband, John DeMeo, step-children, Jonathan,
Sarah, and Kristin DeMeo, daughter-in-law, Ruut DeMeo, five grandchildren, her sister
and brother-in-law, Don and Donna Jones, nieces Darcie Jones and Darah (Kaleb)
Herron, great-nephew, and stepmother, Shirley Baum. She also leaves behind many
other family members and friends who will greatly miss her.
