BARBARA BRITT Obituary

BRITT--Barbara L., died in Manhattan at her home on August 17, 2023 at the age of 79. Born on January 16, 1944, in New York City to James G. Little and Margaret (Kling) Little, Barbara considered herself a New Yorker but resided for many years in Westport, Connecticut, and owned a home in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. She graduated from Douglass College in New Brunswick, New Jersey in 1965. Barbara married Glenn Britt on October 25, 1975; Glenn died at home in Manhattan in 2014. Barbara is survived by her brother, Kevin Little, her sister-in-law Lynn Hobbie, and niece Margaret Grace Little of Madison, WI. Barbara's brother was with her when she died. Barbara's family is grateful for her friends who graced and enriched Barbara's life. We thank her physicians who listened to Barbara and supported her choices. Barbara was blessed in her final weeks to have a team of nurses and aides who came to her home and provided kind and skilled care.

May Barbara now rest in peace and reunite with her husband, Glenn. I will
remember her quiet ways. It was always a pleasure to work with her as
we did various interior projects together. She will be missed. Godspeed to the family.
