Barbara Peters Obituary

Barbara "Bobby" M. Peters, previously Barbara M. DiMasso, (Age 87) of Silver Spring, MD passed away on Tuesday, August 19, 2025. Mother of Sue Byrnes (Bill Byrnes), James DiMasso, and Karen Allen (Chris Allen). Sister of Grant Morris. She was also survived by grandchildren: Michael Byrnes, Deanna Simmons, Cody Allen, Keeley Allen, great-grandmother to Alexa, Ryder, Jameson, Aroya, Kayson, and Kodah.
Family and friends will remember Bobby as active and adventurous, with a friendly and caring demeanor. Her whole life she played tennis and golf and traveled extensively. Her lengthy career as a stern but fair elementary school teacher, often led to students recognizing her and greeting her warmly years later. Bobby had a fondness for chocolate, red wine, a good filet, and a healthy sarcastic sense of humor.
Relatives and friends may call at St. Paul's United Methodist Church, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for visitation on Saturday, August 30 with a funeral service following from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Interment Parklawn Memorial Park.
