Barbara E. Motil

Michael worked w/Frank at NLRB from about 1962 and played tennis w/him. Thru this we often got together w/them at their home in Burton. What wonderful memories we have getting together w/ this lovely family! We had dinner w/Barb & Frank before his passing. I still remember Barb’s home made lasagna dinner. After we met w/Barb at her home and in Avon at the well known Rib place and had her for dinner at our home several times. She never seemed to mind the drive to the east side. We...

Her laughter was infectious, I think we'll all agree

Her cooking and baking skills were epic, you never left the table hungry

She allowed us to explore life with the right mixture of patience, guidance and love

She taught compassion, grace and tolerance and to rise above

She was goofy, intelligent, caring and kind

She loved cartoons, crocheting, music and puzzles for her dexterous mind

Mom cast a long shadow and will be missed by all who read this...

It was a privilege to know a special lady and friend. Ted and I enjoyed our many talks at Family Gatherings. We will miss her very much. Ted and Joan Porada 12/06/2020

Our grandma was a classy, intelligent, incredible woman and we are so lucky to have had her in our lives for so long. I almost thought we'd have you for forever. It's hard knowing that you're no longer just a phone call away, and not being able to send you letters. Love you always, and eternally blessed to have been born into such an incredible familyyour incredible family.

My condolences to the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Barb. I knew her for 20-plus good years and have missed her, she was great to her family, very strong and independent lady, her cup was always half-full, and a great travel companion thru Alaska and Denali National Park, what a highlight venture. I have missed her poppy seed bread and will be unable to put another book on my bookshelf at Christmas time. Many happy memories of a lovely lady, Rest In Peace Dear.

Dearest Mom & Gma,
Gone from our eyes & ears; forever in our hearts & memories. We will strive to live and love as you taught us with your signature hearty laugh. We find peace in knowing we will be together again. Heaven is so much warmer with your presence. always, Lance, Barb(daughter), Luke & Matthew

To our lovely, warm-hearted Mom -- You were beautiful inside and out, and we're all going to miss you so much. I always felt so lucky to have you as both a mother and a friend. Looking back, I know I learned so much from you about being a woman, a wife and a mom to my own children. I'll miss our talks so much, but I'll always hold you in my heart. May love and light surround you and Dad. xxoo

Mom was a gem - she always had our backs and supported us in all we did. She was truly satisfied with her life and I believe now that she is dancing among the stars with Frank, her husband who has patiently been waiting for her to join him for nearly 30 years. Love you to God and back Mom, always, always. Debbie

To the Motil family, my heart and thoughts are with you during this difficult time. My condolences on the passing of your loved one.
