Barbara Ann Schledorn

Barbara Ann Schledorn, 85, passed away peacefully on April 7, 2016 in the Medical College of Virginia. She was surrounded by her family in a room full of love. Barbara was born May 30, 1930, in Pontiac, Michigan, to the late Ellenore May and Arnold Cummins. A few weeks short of her 86th birthday, Barbara leaves a legacy of love, quiet strength, kindness and generosity of self. She was quick to make friends of young and old and she was a strong advocate and supporter of her family with unconditional love for her husband Dick, all her children, their spouses, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She had a love for animals, knitting, painting, golf and traveling, especially to visit her family. She also volunteered at local schools to share her love of reading. Barbara was wonderfully non judgmental with an enduring positive spirit. She was a precious gift to us all and will be missed beyond words. Barbara is survived by her daughter Ann Fletcher of VA, daughter Lynn Davis and her husband Rick of VT, son Chris Knight and wife Ann of MI, son David and his wife Cindy of MI and son Rob and his wife Stacy of MD, 16 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Barbara was predeceased by her husband Dick and son Mark Schledorn. There will be a celebration of Barbara’s life this summer in Vermont.
