Barbara Mary Pflum, aged 87, passed away on 11/22/24 in Cincinnati.
She was the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth DeWindt. She was married to her high school sweetheart Jack Pflum for 66 wonderful years. Together they raised five children: Joe (Katie), Steve (Jackie), Sarah, Mary (Dan) and John, Jr. (Amy). She was a devoted grandmother, with eleven grandchildren: Nicholas (Kate), Amanda (Zach), Charlotte (Logan), Rebecca (Robert), Evan, Luna, Stephen II, Joshua, Jean, Maggie, and Jack; and five great grandchildren: Eddie, William, Samantha, Charlotte, and Barbara.
She enjoyed reading, playing cards, puzzles, travel, Maker's Mark bourbon, and the beach. Her legacy lives through her work at St. Francis Seraph soup kitchen where she volunteered and worked to provide over a thousand turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals.
She was preceded in death by her parents Joseph and Elizabeth, her daughter in law Jackie, and grandson Joshua, and many close friends. She is survived by her husband and children.
