Barbara J. Brezee, passed away on November 30, 2025, at the age of 83 in Blackwood, NJ. Born on August 17, 1942, in Philadelphia, PA, Barbara's life was a tapestry of cherished moments and enduring relationships.

Barbara was the beloved daughter of the late Norman and Josephine Hallahan. Her husband, Louis Brezee, passed in 2002 after sharing 25 years of marriage. Barbara leaves behind her devoted sons Michael Brezee and his wife Dawn, and Louis Brezee and his wife Shelly. Her daughters, the late Patti-Ann Pizzo, the late Robin Delozier, and the late Barbara Joan Delozier preceded her in death.

Barbara's legacy continued to flourish through her brothers, Richard Diatchenko and his wife Fran, and Mark Hallahan and his wife Brenda, as well as her sisters Norma Cillo, Carol Radano, and Patricia Chukoskie. She was preceded in death by her sister, Josie Smith. The matriarch of a large and loving family, Barbara was a cherished grandmother to 12 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, each of whom brought immense joy and pride to her life.

A longtime resident of Erial, NJ, Barbara was a familiar and friendly face at the Haddonfield Branch of PNC Bank, where she served the community as a teller for many years. Her commitment to service extended beyond her professional life as she was a dedicated member of the Blackwood VFW Ladies Auxiliary #7927.

Barbara's zest for life was contagious. She had a passion for travel, exploring new places, and embracing the beauty of the world around her. Her creative spirit found joy in arts and crafts, where she expressed her vibrant personality through her creations. Music was another source of happiness for Barbara, especially the timeless tunes of Frank Sinatra, which often filled her home and heart.
