Barbara Jean Acton

She was born on October 1, 1943, in Xenia, Ohio, and raised in Centerville, Ohio. Barbara will be remembered for her gentle heart, kindness, and the way she cared deeply for her family, friends, and everyone she met.

She took great pride in her years as a school bus driver, lovingly caring for the children she transported each day as if they were her own. She also found joy in simple, meaningful moments—especially spending time with her sister at the casino and the lifelong companionship of her beloved dogs over the years.

She was welcome into heaven by her mother, Mary; her nephew, Danny; and her brother-in-law, Denny. She is survived by her sister, Beverly Robinson; nephew, Denny; great-niece, Melissa; great-nephew, Denny Ralph; and great-great-niece, Harper, along with many others who loved her.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered for the love and kindness she shared so freely.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” — 2 Timothy 4:7
