Michelle Barr Obituary

Published by Legacy on Feb. 23, 2026.
Michelle Ann Barr, known affectionately as Lilly by her loved ones, was called to her eternal home on February 19, 2026, after a sudden brief illness, surrounded by the warmth and love of her family in Youngstown, Ohio. Born on November 7, 1974, in Warren, Ohio, Lilly was a beacon of joy and faith throughout her 51 years of life.
Lilly was the cherished daughter of Bruce Barr Sr. and Joyce Ann Barr who preceded her in death. She was a beloved sister to Christine Boyd, Bruce Barr Jr., and Sara DeWeese. Her family remembers her as a mischievous, comical, and loving sibling.
Her academic journey began at Fairhaven, where Lilly's kind spirit and determination shone brightly. She carried these traits into her career at Fairhaven Industries and Gateways for Better Living as an assembler. Lilly was brought up in church at a young age and always knew the presence of God in her life.
Lilly had a compassionate nature for many of life's simple pleasures as she spent her free time coloring and putting puzzles together. On hot summer days Lilly was often found in the water as she loved to swim. Her memory will be held in the hearts of all who knew her, a reminder of the love and light she brought into this world. As we bid farewell to Lilly, we take solace in the knowledge that she now rests in the loving arms of her Savior.
