Barbara Bacarella, 83, of Alpharetta, Georgia, passed away peacefully, in her home, surrounded by her sons, leaving behind a legacy of love, warmth, and energy.
Born on July 12, 1942, in Fresno, California, Barbara grew up in Yuba City with her sister Roberta. Natural kindness and easy charm were evident from an early age. The devoted mother of three sons, Wyatt, Wade, and Vance, she raised them in a home filled with laughter, love, and open doors.
Barbara retired early as a Senior Vice President and Corporate Secretary of Trenwick Inc., enabling her to get all three sons through college on her own. In her later years, she met Tony Bacarella, with whom she shared many joyful years and adventures as well as many, many grandchildren. They were her greatest joy and she cherished each of them deeply.
Barbara loved to travel, was active in her church, and had a special gift for bringing people together and making every event fun.
She will be remembered for her generous spirit, her warmth, and her unwavering love for family and friends. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alpharetta Presbyterian Church. Her memorial service will be held there on Monday, April 6th at 11am.
