Barbara Faulkner Obituary
Barbara was born on August 25 1954, in San Francisco, Calif., to Edward and Hazel Heaney, raised in the Sunset District with her 8 siblings. She devoted much of her time and energy as a caregiver to family members. With a heart of gold, infectious laugh and bright smile, Barbara put others before herself, and always welcomed all with open arms into her home.
Barbara loved to wine and dine her friends and family with her meticulously festive dining presentation, paired with her famous cioppino and appetizer spreads. She loved spending her summers in Sonoma at the racetrack, while also enjoying the warm relaxing summer nights with loved ones. In 2018, she was promoted to Grammy and her grandkids were the apple of her eye and the center of her world.
Barbara is survived by her loving husband, daughter, daughter-in-law, sisters, nieces, great nieces, great nephew, numerous cousins, close friends and two grandchildren.
Family and friends are invited to attend her Celebration of Life gathering on Saturday, February 15th anytime from 1pm-5pm at the Irish Cultural Center located at 2700 45th Ave San Francisco, Ca 94116. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Los Altos Family YMCA https://losaltosycampaign.funraise.org/

Big hearted, full of life with the Irish twinkle and story to match. I remember Barbara's warm spirt, always supportive and ready with a kind word. She is gone too soon.
Sending love to Bob, Sarah and family, as well as our Heaney clan of cousins. My Dad and Mom (the oldest) send their heart-felt love as well.
