Barbara Jean Boyle

Barbara Jean Boyle (71) of Philadelphia, PA passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 8th, 2022. Barbara was reunited in heaven on the same day as her late husband (John's) birthday and with her late son (Leonard/Lenny). Barbara is survived by her son John (Kim), son Patrick, daughter Christine (Steve), loving Mom Mom to Alex, Shane, Dylan, Kaylee, Jayden and a host of beloved brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews.


Barbara grew up in the Wissinoming section of Philadelphia with a large family consisting of 10 brothers and sisters. She was married to her husband John for 25 years and together they had four children. Barbara loved to spend time in the kitchen cooking delicious meals for the family especially around the holidays. She loved music and you could always find her sitting around listening to her favorite DJ (Jerry Blavat) and singing along to her favorite oldies songs. Barbara was a huge fan for many years of WWF and WWE wrestling and you could find her every Monday and Friday nights excited and waiting to watch. Barbara touched the lives of so many and she will be deeply missed.
Relatives and friends are invited to her viewing on Monday May 16th from 9 AM to 11 AM at McCafferty Sweeney Slabinski Barnes Funerals and Cremations 6126 Torresdale avenue. Please share your fondest memories at PhillyFunerals.com.
