Barbara Jean Willig, age 87, of Brookville, died Tuesday, August 17, 2021 at her residence in Brookville.

Born December 29, 1933 in Cincinnati, she was the daughter of the late Charles and Imogene (Brickel) Willig. She moved to Franklin County with her parents as a young girl, and remained a lifelong resident of Franklin County.
She worked for several years at the former Elsie Dreyer Nursing Home in Brookville. She was a member of the Valley Christian Church in Brookville. In her leisure time she enjoyed flowers and vegetable gardening, and the beauty in simplistic country life.

Her sister Carolyn writes, “Barbara loved the Lord from an early age, even writing scripture on the walls of our bedroom; and listening to ‘The greatest story ever told’ on the radio. She loved animals, the latest pet she had was a cat named Thomas.

Survivors include a sister, Carolyn Hunt of El Cajon, California; her neighbors and caretakers, Sharon and William Grubbs of Brookville.

Graveside services were conducted Saturday, August 21, 2021, at Gibson Cemetery, 24001 State Line Road, Lawrenceburg.
