Barbara E. Lindsey age 77, of Newark, DE, passed away early Saturday morning on November 14, 2020. Barbara was born in Wilmington, DE, on November 16, 1942, and was the daughter of the late John R. Brannock, Sr. and Elizabeth C. Brannock. Barbara was a stay at home mom and after her children were raised, she worked for JCPenney Custom Decorating for 10 years. Afterward, she took on the role of daycare provider for her grandchildren whom she spoiled and loved so much. She enjoyed going to her grandchildren's sporting events from baseball, to lacrosse, cheer, and swimming. Barbara was quite crafty from sewing, to crocheting, embroidery, and ceramics. She loved decorating for every holiday. Christmas was the best! From the house being decorated to the hilt to Christmas cookies/candy being made and Christmas music playing. Barbara made the holidays special by getting everyone together and boy did they enjoy her cooking! Barbara was preceded in death by her husband, David G. Lindsey, Sr. She is survived by her children: Dawn E. Frey (John) of New Castle, Donna B. Tompkins (Jim) of New Castle, and David G. Lindsey, Jr of New Castle; grandchildren: Jimmy, John, Jake, Lizzy, and Molly; brother, John R. Brannock, Jr. (Linda) of Clayton, DE; and her beloved cat, Whitney. Dawn and Donna would like to thank Alexis, Brian Trent, and the boys for always looking after our mom and making her a part of your family.
