“Death is not an ending, but a symbol of movement along the path upon which we are all traveling. As it may be painful to lose contact with the physical aspect of one we love, the Spirit can never be lost. We have been and always will be a part of each other.”
Life story

Barbara, Barbie, Barb were some of the names Barbara went by - but Nana, Sister, Mom, and now guardian Angel are the things the ones that loved her knew her by.

To know Barbara or Nana as I called her was to love her.

Barbara A. Kinney, was Born in Allentown, and was the daughter of the late Anthony M. and Mary (Dobish) Morganelli who are burried right here with her.

Barbara was all about the family. From Sunday dinners that included too much food, to family vacations. Barbara was the definition of what a motherly figure looked like. She made bad days slip away and life to not feel so tough. Comfort, love and security - described her to the core.

Though this last year gave us the loss of her, we give thanks today and everyday of how she brought her family together and held us close. Through the pain and loss brought so much thankfulness to our family and the time we all had with her and the family she created.

Nana, you were the keystone and the glue. The way you loved us we will forever pass on! We love you! ❤️
