Barbara Sapp Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Melson Funeral Services - Long Neck Chapel on Jan. 20, 2026.
Barbara Sapp passed peacefully into eternal rest at the Delaware Hospice Center in Milford, Delaware, surrounded by the love of her family. Her earthly journey has ended, but her life in Christ continues, as she has been welcomed home into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior.

Barbara was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose life reflected faith, love, and service. She is survived by her three children: Charles James Larsen (Cindy), Robyn Atkins (Owen), and Robert Sapp Jr.; two grandchildren, Charles Larsen Jr. (Stevi) and Julie Larsen; and five cherished great-grandchildren who brought her immense joy. She was preceded in death by her parents and her beloved husband, Robert Sapp Sr., whom she is now joyfully reunited with in heaven.

Barbara's faith was the cornerstone of her life. She deeply loved her family and her church family and found strength, comfort, and purpose in her relationship with God. Through prayer, kindness, and unwavering trust in the Lord, she lived out her faith daily and left a lasting example for those who knew her.

Though we mourn her passing, we take comfort in God's promise: "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." Barbara's life was a testament to love and faith, and her legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and all who were blessed to know her.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Barbara's memory to Delaware Hospice, in gratitude for the compassionate care she received.

A service to celebrate Barbara's life will be held at 12:00 pm on Thursday, February 5, 2026 at Community Church of Oak Orchard, 32615 Oak Orchard Rd., Millsboro, DE 19966, where friends and family may call after 11:00 am.

Following the services there will be a time for memories and lunch at the Fire Company Indian River Volunteer Fire Company, 32628 Oak Orchard Rd. Millsboro, DE 19966.

She will be deeply missed on this side of heaven, but we rejoice knowing that she now rests in eternal peace, free from pain, and forever embraced by God's everlasting love.
