Barbara Ann O'Quinn, 74, passed away peacefully at home on August 11, 2025, surrounded by her loving family, who reminded her of just how cherished she was.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Jack and Virginia Reiss; her husband, Claude O'Quinn; her beloved daughters, Lisa and Jennifer Reiss; and her treasured grandson, Eric Reiss.

Barbara is survived by her devoted children, Mark Reiss, Scott Reiss, Tammy O'Quinn, Tina O'Quinn, and Tanya O'Quinn; 23 cherished grandchildren; and 16 beloved great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Donna Reiss, and her niece and nephews Joleen, Shawn, Shane, and Adam.

She retired from Siffrin, where she worked with dedication as a Direct Support Professional. Throughout her life, Barbara faced many hardships and heartaches, yet she continued to give her all as a mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Her strength, kindness, and unwavering love will be remembered forever.

Barbara's greatest joy was her family, who will carry her memory in their hearts always.

A memorial service will be held on Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. at Reed Funeral Home Canton Chapel (705 Raff Rd SW, Canton, OH 44710).
