Barbara Russo Obituary
Barbara was a woman of vibrant personality, described by those who loved her as loving, crazy, caring, fabulously feisty and selfless. She dedicated much of her life to her family, creating a warm, wild and welcoming home that was the heart of many cherished gatherings. Barbara is survived by her devoted husband, Nicholas Russo, and their children, Danielle Silva, Desiree Buttros, A-Jay Russo, and Lance Russo. Her legacy continues through her grandchildren, Jordan Buttros, Cheyenne Ilani, Carlos Silva, Tyler Buttros, Gianna Russo, and Nichole Russo, whom she adored and spoiled endlessly.
Known as the Queen of Bingo, Barbara spent many joyful hours at bingo halls where she shared laughs and good times with friends. Her grandchildren brought immense joy to her life, and she seized every opportunity to spoil them with love and treats.
Clymer Funeral Home in Palm Coast, FL. is assisting the family during this difficult time, ensuring that Barbara's life is honored and remembered with the dignity she deserves.

We had the pleasure of meeting her and listening to the most amazing stories of her family. She was vibrant and so full of life. They were the best neighbors we could ask for. Thank you for the laughs. We will miss you.

Barb was one in a million. Huge heart and filled with laughter. She never left you without saying "Love ya" and she meant it. To the entire Russo family, she will be remembered by so many. And you are all in the thoughts of those who knew and loved her.

my prayers are with the entire family my nieces Danielle and Desiree Nick and the grandchildren. Barbara was my former sister in law who i have known for 55 years. When she was engaged to my brother Peter i took a trip with Barbara to Florida for a week vacation. Peter was unable to take off work, so i was a secret chaperone. lol we had a great time. Barbara always made me laugh. I know she will be missed but not forgotten. I also pray that my nieces come to know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.

Barbara, my cousin and dear friend, it is with sadness that I bid you farewell. Our youthful days in Newark and Seaside Heights were filled with laughter and adventure, and your kindness, humor, and generosity have left an indelible mark on my life. You will be deeply missed.

There was never a dull moment in any bingo hall she played. Her bingo friends are all feeling a void. She adored her family and shared stories about her grandchildren. Rest in peace Barb

My cousin who I’ve known all my life is gone and my heart is broken. We talked for hours on the phone shared fun memories together and just loved each other. My cousin, my friend who was like a sister to me will be deeply missed. Barbara always talked about her family especially her grandchildren who she adored. A beautiful light has gone out from this world for me but I know one day we will be together again. ❤

Barbara was a loving, kind hearted lady that loved life. She talked about her family all the time. They were her life´s joy. She talked about many trips to Disney which she enjoyed as much as her grandkids.
She loved bingo and her "bingo family". She would always yell CONGRATULATIONS to friends when they would bingo. She was always willing to help new players.
She was loved by all and will be sorely missed. God bless,
may you rest in peace.
