Barbara Tupper Obituary

Barbara Ann (Walsh) Tupper of Plymouth Meeting passed away at home surrounded by her loving family on March 16, 2012 at age 80. She leaves behind her devoted husband of 56 years, George W. Tupper and her children, Deborah Farrington, Karen Gazzillo, Patricia Clovis (Douglas), Christopher Tupper (Sher), and Craig Tupper (Tracey). She was the proud, adoring Nana of her 9 grandchildren, Andrew, Amanda, Ashton, Eric, Kristen, Zachary, Madison, Jesse and Joshua George. Mrs. Tupper was a 1952 graduate of Montgomery Hospital School of Nursing, and worked as a registered nurse for over forty years.

To Deb, Mr. Tupper, Karen, Patty, Chris and Craig -
We are so sorry for your loss.
Deb, your Mom always made me feel so welcome and special - she had a way of making her kids' friends part of the extended Tupper family. She had a great sense of humor - and I can still hear her wonderful laugh. It was a pleasure to hear her talk with pride about her grandchildren. This very special woman will be truly missed. Thinking of all of you at this sad time...

Sad to hear of Mrs. Tupper's passing. The best testament to her well-lived life is the great job she and Mr. Tupper did with their children. In every memory I have of Mrs. Tupper (at Genuardi's, at Mermaid Lake, at your house), she was smiling. I'm sure that now, relieved of pain, she is smiling down on her husband, children, and grandchildren. I'll keep you all in my prayers as you move on without her in your midst.
