Barbara Xavier Obituary
She is survived by her husband of 59 years, Bruce Olds Xavier. She leaves behind four daughters: Dawn, Mary Ellen, Holly, and Dee. She was also a mom to her three sons-in-law, Bruce, Cricket, and Rick.
Her five grandchildren, Jordy, Joey Jem, Peyton, Boe, and Esmerelda, were her world. Her spirit and humor lives on through her one, and only, great-grandson Milo.
Barb's happiest times were on weekends surrounded by her loved ones, the food they shared, and the laughter they created.
She was one of 15 children in the large closeknit family ofCharles and Thelma (Wheeler) Perry of Canton, New York. She is survived by her three brothers Piggy, Genie, and Brother Art. She is now with Billy, Delores, Fred, Ella, Ed, Shirley, Debbie, Harry, Pat, Rosie, Rocky, and her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
A private service will be held at the family's request.
In honor of Barb, please do not send flowers – take yourself to a local garage sale!
