She was born January 31, 1934 in Bellevue to the late Ward and Geneva (McHenry) Light. Barbara was a 1951 graduate of Bucyrus High School and worked at Second National Bank upon graduation. She moved to Kettering and took courses in accounting to further her career. She then worked for Mead Paper Co. who, in 1962, sent her to New York City for six months to open an office and she stayed there for the next 48 years. She is survived by three brothers, Bill Light of Bucyrus, Ed Light and wife Ilene of Bucyrus and Louis Light and wife Mary of North Ridgeville; one sister, Jennifer (Light) Sweigard and husband Larry of Upper Sandusky; two sisters-in-law, Shirley Light of Bucyrus and Rosie Light of Palm Coast, Florida. Barb was preceded in death by two brothers, Jack and Walter Light; a sister-in-law, Jeannine Light; and her canine companion of 19 years, "Duke." Barb loved spending time with family and her multitude of friends and neighbors. She enjoyed traveling and watching and attending sporting events, especially her New York teams. She will certainly be missed by many.
