Barbara Chervenak Obituary
Barbara was born on November 18, 1949, in Pennsylvania to Claude and Alice Fordyce. She grew up with a kind heart and a radiant spirit that touched everyone she met. On June 10, 1967, she married her husband Frank Chervenak, and together they built a life full of love, laughter, and devotion.
She will be remembered for her generous nature, her strength, and her unwavering dedication to her family. Barbara found joy in being a boy mom, attending her kid's sporting events, gardening, crossword puzzles and reading. She was known for her great sense of humor and her fierce competitiveness.
She is survived by her husband, Frank; her children, Patrick (Kimberly), Tom (Michelle); and her grandchildren Anya and Alli (Harrison Hodges) and her dog, Cherry Bomb.
A private service will be planned at a later date. In lieu of flowers or donations, please show an act of kindness to someone today.
Barbara's family would like to thank the staff at Crescent Hospice Care in Bluffton, SC for their care.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
