Obituary published on Legacy.com by Yanac Funeral & Cremation Service, Inc. on Jan. 8, 2026.
Barbara Ann Ventrello (Flores) of Cresco, PA, well known as "Miko" to close friends and family, passed away at age 82 on January 2nd, 2026. She was surrounded by her immediate family.

Miko was a Playboy Bunny cocktail waitress in New Orleans and New York City. In the Poconos, she worked and thrived at both Strickland's Mountain Inn and Mount Airy Lodge. Miko was a fiercely loving person. Her joy in socializing with family, friends, and strangers always brought out the best in others. She enjoyed watching tennis, loved dancing, was an avid bowler, and was a fan of the Beatles. Miko will be truly missed by all of whom she touched.

She was a devoted wife, mother, aunt, and sister-in-law. She is survived by Robert Ventrello (Husband), Teo Ventrello (Son) and his wife Marianne Ventrello. In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation to Feeding America.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Yanac Funeral & Cremation Service, Inc. 35 Sterling Road, Mount Pocono where online condolences can be made @www.yanacfuneralhome.com
