Barbara Slayton

Barbara Diane Slayton, affectionately known as Babs, was a compassionate soul born on July 26, 1946, in Tipton, IN. She passed away peacefully on October 22, 2025 surrounded by her loving family. She was a pillar of strength, a beacon of love, and a humble spirit who believed in the power of family and the importance of treasured moments.

Barbara was preceded in death by her parents; husband; brothers Charlie W. London, Jr., Laron London, and Bill London; her sisters Penny Manlove, Dottie Miller, and Arleen Dail.
Barbara worked diligently as a production worker for Roche in Indianapolis until her well-deserved retirement in 2010. Barbara lived a full and joyful life. She enjoyed traveling with her family and special niece Becky DuHamel. She also loved attending sporting events to watch her grandchildren play various sports. She attended her 1st Colts game with her nephew Rob Manlove which she found absolutely delightful. Barbara loved shopping trips to Walmart, playing Bingo, rolling dice, and the many cards games played with family and friends.

Her legacy also lives on through her daughter-in-law, Julie Slayton, and her son-in-law, Chad Scott.
