Deloris A. Barney

Deloris A. Barney passed away on September 18, 2021 at Heritage Valley Hospital, Sewickley, with family by her side.

Born February 6, 1933, in Huntington, West Virginia, she was the daughter of the late Claude Havens and Virgie Havens Yacynyk. She was a member of St. Blaise Church in Midland.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 68 years, Anthony “Skinny” Barney; son, Gary Barney, sister, Helen Bahm and niece Rose Presutti.

Deloris is survived by her loving daughters, Cynthia Barney of East Liverpool, Ohio and Susan Packard of Hopewell Township, grandchildren Christopher Barney, Paul Barney, Eric White, Jovonia White, Matthew (Caroline) Packard, Adam (Jackie) Packard, Drew (Crystal) Packard, seventeen great-grandchildren, very special nieces Barbara Barney, Renee Burks, and special nephew, Michael Barney.

At home Deloris enjoyed cooking, baking and canning. She was also an avid card-player and loved going to the casino. Both she and her husband Skinny were very social people. They loved fishing and bowling with their family and friends. For much of their lives, they spent summers camping at Mosquito Lake in Cortland, Ohio, making many friends there. In her later years, she resided at Apple Blossom Assisted Living where she again made new friends and continued being a “social butterfly”. Residents, aides and nurses frequently commented on what a “sweetheart” she was. Deloris deeply loved her family and was always there with words of wisdom, lots of love and plenty of good food. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.

There will be no visitation. A Graveside Service will be held on Wednesday, September 22, 2021, at 11:00 AM at Beaver Cemetery. A celebration of Deloris’ life well be held at a later date.
