udwey, Barbara Jane (nee Schweichler)

- February 29, 2024

Age 91, died peacefully on February 29th, 2024, in Medfield, MA with her beloved husband, James of 73 years at her side. Born in North Tonawanda, NY she was the daughter of the late Marianne Schweichler (Scheitinger) and Edward Schweichler. Barbara is the cherished mother of her 5 sons, Michael of Holliston, MA, Dennis of Abington MA, Thomas of Boston, Brian of New Smyrna, FL and David of Medfield, MA. She is survived by 11 grandchildren (+1 deceased) and 3 great- granddaughters. Born and raised in an era when wife, homemaker and Mother was the most highly expected pursuit for women, she was the quintessential example of that. Bravely raising 5 boys while James blazed his professional career. Barbara held the "fort" and trucked the kids wherever they needed to be, little league, band practice, doctor, dentist, clothes shopping, hospital, she orchestrated the feeding of 5 growing boys, cleaned all the fish we brought home, repaired all the holes in the clothes, picked up the frozen children from the skating pond and taught the kids how to sew. She happily donated her wedding veil and dress (once she realized she wasn't having a daughter) to make fishing nets and toy parachutes for the kids, constantly guided her children away from mis-adventure All the while performing as the Family CFO. She was the chief outfitter and base camp coordinator for all the many family camping and skiing trips. Later on, as the kids left the nest Barb took up skiing, but (mostly apres-ski) and embarked on antiquarian ventures with her close friend Alana. She was an expert at trivia, a graceful follower on the dance floor, a solid partner at Bridge and Master of budget recipes. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday April 6th, 2024 from 10 am to 12:30 pm at the Roberts, Mitchell & Caruso Funeral Home at 15 Miller St., Medfield MA 02052.
