She was born on April 21, 1940 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to the late John R and Emily Moleton.
Barbara loved gardening and maintained over one hundred plants in her home and yard. Flowers were her love and passion. She had quite the green thumb and could bring anything back to life. Barbara also had a very strong faith. She was a member of Amity Presbyterian Church for over 50 years. During that time, she was one numerous committees and shared her faith with others.
Her family and friendships were always a top priority. Everyone who met Barbara loved her and the kind smile she always had on. She had a quiet dignity and charm when meeting new people.
Barbara was married to her loving husband, James Thomas "Tom" Phlegar, for 61 years. Many would say that during those 61 years she spent a bulk of her time trying to keep him in line.
She is survived by her husband, Tom; children, Stephen "Steve" Thomas Phlegar (Lois) of Pembroke, Virginia, David James Phlegar of Greensboro, North Carolina, and Elizabeth Anne Crabtree (Matt) of Kings Mountain, North Carolina; grandchildren, Braden Crabtree, Russell, Thomas, Timothy, Matthew, and Brian Phlegar; brother, Bill Moleton of Tampa, Florida; and eight nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, as well as her brother, John Moleton.
