Barbara Ann LiVolsi-Conlin of Franklinville, North Carolina, passed away at the age of 62, on November 6, 2025.
Barbara was born on July 29, 1963 to William and Barbara LiVolsi in Stamford, Connecticut.
After Barbara graduated from Brien McMahon High School in 1981, she went off to study Graphic Design at Central Connecticut State University. After graduating with a Bachelor Degree in 1985 she started her first job at Don Klotz Associates, then Zotos and US Tobacco.
Barbara married her husband, Thomas Allen Conlin, on August 23, 1987, at Saint Matthews Church, in Norwalk Connecticut.
After starting a family, Barbara left her job to fulfil the role that was the most important to her; being a stay-at-home mom to their two children; Jillian and Thomas Jr.
Barbara was a selfless mother, always putting her family first, creating the most loving home and the best memories. She would often talk about how she wouldn't trade those years for the world.
After raising their two children, Barbara and Tom Sr. moved to Franklinville, North Carolina in the spring of 2021, where she loved her life taking care of her 6 chickens, her 4 dogs and thrifting, golfing, playing pickleball, going to art classes, fishing and as she so often called it, "enjoying life". Barbara loved all of her dogs; Chester, Winston, Sophie, Rosey, Jack, Hank, Pearl, Pinto & Lulu.
Barbara, also lovingly referred to as 'B' and 'Mom', was many things; a daughter, a wife, a mother, a friend, an artist, a dog lover, a thrifter (or "picker" as she often called herself), a 'crazy chicken lady'. She had the energy and smile to light up every room that she walked into.
Barbara will be forever remembered by her zest for life, the joy she brought to each moment and the love that she poured into every life that she touched.
Barbara is predeceased by her mother, Barbara Brucato-LiVolsi. Barbara is survived by her husband of 37 years; Thomas Allen Conlin Sr., their two children; Jillian Elizabeth Conlin and Thomas Allen Conlin Jr., her father; William Sebastian LiVolsi and her sister; Jeanette LiVolsi Mendence.

Ramseur, North Carolina on Saturday, November 22nd, 2025 from 12:00-6:00pm.
