Barbara McLin Obituary

Barbara Jean McLin (Moreira) entered the gates of Heaven joining her mom & dad (Art & Rose Moreira) on August 1, 2023 shortly after her 87th Birthday. Barbara was upbeat, positive, happy and joyful. Her laugh and beautiful smile were contagious, she was a great listener who could cheer you up even in the toughest of times, she had a way of making you feel special and she was loved by everyone. When she got together with her sons (Steve & Jerry) the 3 of them were constantly telling jokes. She loved every moment she spent with them. Her eyes would sparkle, and her laugh was infectious. Barbara will be dearly missed but joyfully remembered by her sons Steve & Jerry Clem, Granddaughters Melody James & Valerie Clem. Great Grandchildren Mario Medina Jr & Adrian Medina. Great-Great Grandchildren Yaslene Medina-Williamson & Kaiden Medina-Williamson, and her Best Friend of 60+ Years Betty Martin. They enjoyed each other's company so much that they would talk on the phone daily for hours at a time, laughing and remembering all the wonderful times they had together. She loved her precious dog Molly who stayed by her side every day until the last. Barbara will be celebrated on August 18, 2023 at Holy Sepulchre with a viewing at 11 and service beginning at 12. The address is 1051 Harder Rd., Hayward CA 94542.
