Obituary published on Legacy.com by M. John Scanlan Funeral Home - Pompton Plains on May 28, 2025.
Barbara Joyce Schultz, 91, of Denville, recently residing in Lincoln Park, NJ, passed away on May 26, 2025.
Barbara was one of seven children born to William and Bertha Sinclair. She grew up in Rockaway and settled in Denville with her husband, Eugene Schultz, to raise their children.
Barbara had a deep love for cooking, gardening, and spending time outdoors. She also enjoyed the time spent during her recent RV adventures. Whether she was tending to her flowers or simply relaxing on the deck, soaking in the beauty of the scenery around her, she found joy in nature's simplest gifts.
Barbara loved an adventure and especially treasured her RV trips with her family. No family event went unnoticed-Barbara was always present, always smiling, and always the life of the gathering. Her family was the most important thing to her and she especially cherished the time spent with her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Barbara leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Her warm presence, joyful energy, and unwavering devotion to family will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
Barbara is lovingly survived by her son, Eugene Schultz; her sisters, Diane Espinoza and her husband Matthew, and Linda McCroy; her grandchildren Andrea Vergona and her husband Michael, Lisa Mikulak, and Roger Madewell and his wife Bobbi; her great grandchildren, Michael and Tyler Vergona, Anthony Fuentes, and Zack and Jake Madewell; and her brother in-law, Frank Neggers. She was predeceased by her husband, Eugene; her daughter, Lynn Young; her brother, William Sinclair; and her sisters, Patricia Ayres, Joan Neggers, and Jean Ayres.
