Barbara L. Hulmes, age 89, of Venice, FL, passed away on August 4, 2023 at the Tidewell Hospice House in Venice, FL. She was born to Arthur and Bess Lockhart on July 17, 1934 in Philadelphia, PA.
Barbara grew up in Abington, PA, and married the guy next door, Harry Hulmes. She moved to Venice, FL from Somerset, NJ in 2016 after the passing of her husband. She was happily married for 64 years.

She enjoyed playing bingo, watching NY Giants football and attending Giants football games with her family. She was an avid reader and a puzzle fanatic, never having a time without a jigsaw puzzle in progress.
