Frances Barnhart Obituary

Frances A. Barnhart
Age 47, of New Philadelphia, passed away Friday, Aug. 2, 2013, at Aultman Hospital following a courageous battle with cancer. She was born in Dover, Ohio on Oct. 19, 1965, to the late Russell and Lena (Snyder) Barnhart. She was a member of Faith Family Church of North Canton. Frances loved her family dearly and had the heart of a servant; raising her brothers' sons as her own. She was always an encourager for family and friends. Frances was loved by all who knew her and many people were blessed by listening to her soprano voice. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her grandparents.
Frances is survived by her brothers, Joseph (Pam) Snyder, Charles (Chris) Snyder, and David Barnhart; nephews and nieces, David Barnhart II, Matthew Barnhart, John "JJ" Barnhart, Jason (Emily) Snyder, Noelle Snyder, Brian Snyder, Jodi (Pat) Robbins, Emily Keith, and Vince (Jessica) Snyder; and many great-nieces and great-nephews. The family would like to thank, Dr. James Schmotzer, his nurse practitioner, Kitty Williams, and the nurses on Aultman Hospital Memorial 6 South for their excellent care, compassion, and concern given to Fran during her recent illness.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2013, at Dover Church of Christ (230 East 4th St., Dover, OH 44622: on the corner of Poplar and 4th St.) at 11 a.m., with her brothers, Elder Joseph Snyder and Minister David Barnhart co-officiating. Friends may call one hour prior at the church. Interment will follow in Calvary Cemetery in Dover. Memorials may be made in Frances' name to the family to help defray her medical expenses.

7 years just seems like yesterday since you were called away. All of us miss your laugh, your wonderful singing voice, your smile, your sense of humor, and your caring heart. Missing playing 'tricks' on you, and snitching your food whenever we got together. ---Thanks for the memories Sis.

I remember when Franny and I were growing up...its was like us against the world with so many boys in the family to dodge....but we always seemed to find the coolest hiding places and we would bring graham crackers with icing inbetween them and just gorge on them. You will be miss Franny, but we shall see each other again....Love, Ang

Well done thy good and faithful servant. Fran was the epitome of that. Everyone who came in contact with her was blessed. Will be blessed with every thought of her.

Fran will be missed by so many people. She was always there for me when I needed someone to talk to. She always kept my family in prayers during their many needs. I am going to keep your family in my prayers. We met online in 1998. We met in person on my 40th birthday. Almost 12 years ago and then another time later on. I wish we could have spent more time together. I will see her again one day in heaven, but know, she will always hold a special place in my heart. I love you all!

ALthough I did not know her well, I admire the important role she played in the lives of her family. Her impact, love and kindness will be felt long after she has passed. Her legacy remains.
