Barbara Gessel JD

I just found that Barb has passed. Four years later. We were great friends in the 80´s in Toledo. The memories go on and on. I always thought I would see her again. My heart is broken

My deepest sympathy to Barb's close friends and family. I worked with Barb in the Toledo Edison Legal Department for several years. Her strength of character and gentle nature was always a gift to her colleagues. Rest in Peace, dear sweet friend.

I'm very sad to hear of Barb's passing. I met her when she was a high school student when her family lived in St. Clairsville. I had the privilege of taking her to a couple of homecoming and prom dances and had many good times. I always knew her to be fun-loving, kind, smart, ambitious ... and what a smile! She has obviously touched many people's lives in a positive way throughout her life. She will be missed and never forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to her wonderful family.

I worked with Barb at both Toledo Edison and The Blade. She was always great to work with - knowledgeable, questioning, personable, and calm, even in tough situations. She was interested in doing the right thing, even if it wasn't the popular thing. Tough to see her go so early.

condolences, thanks for everything Barb

I was so saddened to hear the news about Barb. I have not seen her in many years but I loved her energy. She was smart, funny and successful!!!! I wanted the family to know that I am thinking about them at this difficult time.
My sincerest condolences to the Gessel family.
