Barbara Frohe, 88, passed away peacefully on February 18, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born on July 28, 1937, Barbara lived a life defined by devotion to her family, unwavering support for those she loved, and a kindness that touched everyone she met. She had a warm smile, a generous heart, and a way of making each person feel seen and cherished. She created a home filled with comfort, joy, and unconditional love.

She was the beloved wife of Joseph Frohe, with whom she shared a lifetime of partnership and memories. She was a devoted mother to Cheryl Rizzo, Deborah Hayes, Scott Anderson, Joseph Frohe (Madelyn Frohe), Thomas Frohe (Mary Frohe), Roxanne Kramer (DJ Kramer), Kyle Frohe, and Sharyl Frohe.

Barbara was a proud grandmother to 16 grandchildren and a treasured great-grandmother to 8 great-grandchildren, each of whom brought her immense pride and happiness. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews who held a special place in her heart.

Her greatest joy was her family, and she never missed an opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments or offer encouragement during life’s challenges.

Barbara will be remembered for her loving spirit, her steady presence, and the countless ways she showed up for her family and friends. Her legacy lives on in the strong, caring family she nurtured and in the many lives she touched with her compassion.

She will be deeply missed and forever loved

The family will receive friends TOMORROW, Wednesday February 25, 2026 from 4-6pm at New Comer Cremations and Funerals, 2636 Ridgeway Ave. (between Long Pond Rd. and Elmgrove Rd.)
