She was married to Herb McRoberts for 40 years, when he died on Feb. 6, 1994.

She is survived by her daughters Cindy (Jeff) Shaffer of Hermitage and Kim (Ken) Romig of New Wilmington; granddaughter, Nicole (Nathan) Hunter; grandson, Nathan Romig; and great-grandson, Deveany Hunter, all of New Wilmington.

Beside her husband she was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Eleanor Burgess; and her siblings, Sylvia Boyles, Harry Burgess, Lucy Covert and George Burgess.

Barb's family would like to thank Sharon Regional Hospice for the wonderful care they provided to Barb, and all the prayers from family and friends during this difficult time.

There will be a private funeral service for Barb with her immediate family later this week and a celebration of Barb's life for family and friends will be held at a later time.

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that memorial contributions be made to First United Methodist Church of Sharon, 237 W. Silver St., Sharon, Pa. 16146.
