A DEATH
HAS OCCURRED
Barbara Lee Burton, known for her loving and supportive nature, passed away on June 7, 2024, at the age of 77 in Cincinnati, OH. She dedicated her life to raising and providing for her family, working as a secretary in the healthcare industry at UC Health. Barbara’s family and community knew her as a hardworking and devoted individual who always lent a helping hand to those in need.
Born in Cincinnati on June 5, 1947, Barbara was a proud member of the Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church for many years. She actively participated in her children’s sporting events, especially those of her son, Todd. Barbara was affectionately known as the “team mom” and enjoyed spending time with not only her own children but also the neighborhood kids whom she often treated to trips to the Drive-In movies.
Barbara found joy in watching sports, being an enthusiastic supporter of her local teams. She cherished simple pleasures, like enjoying grilled steaks with a glass of red wine, and was a true dog lover, having cared for several furry companions throughout her life. Dancing was another one of Barbara’s passions, particularly disco dancing.
Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, James and Margaret Duggins.
Barbara Lee Burton is survived by her three children – Todd (Nicole) Burton, Tamara (Lorenzo Jones) Burton, and Jamie Churchill, along with her grandchildren and sisters.
