Barbara J. Deuber

July 5, 1932 - April 15, 2018

Barbara Johnson Deuber of Devon Pennsylvania passed away peacefully at home on April 15, 2018, surrounded by family. Mrs Deuber was born on July 5, 1932 and is the beloved wife of William “Bill” Mark Deuber, mother of Kenneth, and daughter of Mildred and E. Kenneth Johnson, all whom predeceased her. Barbara is survived by her son, William Mark Jr (Charlene), daughter Janet Peters (Todd), and adored granddaughters, Kristin and Kathryn Deuber. After growing up in Atlantic City, Barbara went on to attend the University of Pennsylvania, earning a degree in Economics in 1954. That same year she married her college sweetheart, William, with whom she shared a love for dancing and weekly gatherings with friends at the piano bar at Aronimink Golf Club. Barbara attained her Real Estate Broker’s license and enjoyed a career on the Main Line which spanned 44 happy years; her business etiquette was truly unique. She enjoyed gatherings with fellow members of the Junior League, lunch with friends at the Stafford Farmer’s Market, and outings with the women’s 9 Holers at Aronimink. As alumni class president at Penn, Barbara continued to support and serve the University for many years. Adored by so many, she will be truly missed by family and friends. Barbara’s greatest joy was her family; she never missed the opportunity to attend swim meets and school events involving her grand daughters, Kristin and Kathryn, for decades. Barbara’s brilliant charm, love of celebrations, and steadfast love for family and friends were her greatest gifts to all in her presence. A joint celebration of the lives of Barbara and her husband Bill will be held at 11 am on Friday May 4 in the Chapel at St Davids Episcopal Church, 763 South Valley Forge Road, Wayne, PA. Memorial contributions in Barbara’s memory can be made to Francisvale Home for Smaller Animals, 328 Upper Gulph Road, Wayne, PA, or St Davids Episcopal Church, 763 South Valley Forge Road, Wayne PA.
