Barbara Sweat Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Memorial Park Funeral Home & Crematory - St. Petersburg on Aug. 19, 2023.
Barbara Lee Sweat, a beloved mother and grandmother, passed away on August 12, 2023, in St. Petersburg, Florida. She was born on September 9, 1937, in Bucyrus, Ohio. In 1955 she moved to Gulfport, Florida with her family and fell in love with the area, the warm weather, and the beaches.
When asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, Barbara always said, "a mother," and she devoted her life to being the best mother and grandmother. Barbara was preceded in death by her loving daughters, Jodi Lyn Hamilton and JoAnne Hamilton. She is survived by her devoted daughter Terri Michael and her adoring grandchildren, Mariah Michael, Mark Tyler Michael, and Marlee Michael.
A private memorial service will be held at a later date to honor Barbara's life and the cherished moments shared with her family and friends. Barbara loved and was loved beyond measure. In this time of grief, let us remember the beautiful soul she was and find comfort in the memories we hold dear.
