Barbara Ann Yoder

On December 29, 1939 the world was blessed with the birth of Barbara Ann Yoder. Barb passed away on August 3, 2018 at home with her family following a hard-fought battle with cancer. She is survived by her beloved high school sweetheart David Yoder, her daughter Kris Noto (Scott), her son Kurt Yoder (Michelle) and her two grandsons Nicholas Noto (Chelsy) and Matthew Noto. She is also survived by her sister June Steffy (Pete predeceased) of Pennsylvania, brother in law Tom Yoder (Lynda), sister in law Margaret Yoder, sister in law Carolyn Yoder (Edward "Bill" predeceased), and brother in law Byron Beard (her sister Sandee predeceased) and her nieces and nephews. She is also predeceased by her parents Mable and Stanley Painski. She was a Graduate of Schuylkill Valley High School Class of "57". Barbara Loved her family above all and followed her husband over 58 years of marriage on 30 years of military tours, moving 25 times in that 30 years. Barbara also worked with Executives at GSX and thoroughly enjoyed her time there as much as they appreciated her expertise. Barb was a capable woman and after moving to the Wellington Aeroclub in 1991, she cared for her parents alone and kept up an entire household while her husband worked out of the country. Eventually she would join David her husband, and travel the Middle East, visiting all the Gulf Cooperative Council Countries. She especially like Paris and also enjoyed her peaceful visits with her sister in Pennsylvania during the summers. There is not a person who met Barbara who did not love her and her kind gentle demeaner. She had an uncanny ability to reach people in a deep and positive way. She had a great sense of humor and loved to read, go out to dinners, and to visit and chat with family and friends, sometimes flying with David in their personal plane to get there. Barbara you will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace.
