Barbara passed away peacefully on May 6, 2021, at a hospice facility in Dunedin, Florida. She was born February 20, 1938 in Tampa, FL to Nevin and Idella Ellis. She was a high school graduate and a stay at home mom. She married James J Burrill of Norwalk, OH and had three children.
After losing her husband in 1979, she began a postal career as a rural route letter carrier and retired after serving her community for twenty-two years.
Barbara truly loved life to the fullest through simple pleasures; chatting with friends and family at breakfast, working in her yard full of flowers, and spending time helping her neighbors. Barbara had a heart for giving, she would always say, "lend, spend, and the Lord will send". She had a great ability to listen and reach out to friends and family in a deep and positive way.
She is survived by her brother, Bill Ellis, her children, Karen, James Jr, and Nevin Burrill. She was blessed with six grandchildren, Amber, Josh, Ben, Jacob, Lola Bodi, and 5 great-grandchildren.
Graveside Services will be Saturday, May 15, 2021 at 11 AM at Myrtle Hill Memorial Park.
