Barbara Jean Gehr Handy, 79 of east Toledo, passed away Friday, June 1, 2018 with her family by her side at the Little Sisters of the Poor Sacred Heart Home for the Aged. Barb was born on September 18, 1938 in Toledo, Ohio to Lawrence and Luella (Honnaker) Gehr. She was a 1956 graduate of Waite High School. Barb had worked at the Little Sisters of the Poor and ended her working career with the MCCR Ministries. She will always be remembered by all who knew her as a hard working person who had a great sense of humor and wit along with a little sassiness! Her love was playing games, cards, poker and especially "greedy" with her kids and grandchildren……she would always win! Her true love was spending time with her husband and family. She also was a woman with a very deep faith. Surviving are her husband of 59 years, Roy; children, Douglas (Sheila) Handy, Denise (Roger) Evans, Nicole (David) Brown, Michael (Nichole) Handy, Daniel Handy; 20 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren. Barb was preceded in death by her parents and 9 siblings. Visitation will be held on Monday from 2-8 pm at Eggleston Meinert & Pavley Funeral Home, 440 S.

Wynn Road, Oregon, Ohio on Tuesday at 10:30 am and where the family will greet friends beginning at 9:00 am. Those wishing to make an expression of sympathy in Barb's memory are asked to consider the Little Sisters of the Poor or MCCR Ministry. "May the Holy Angels surround and protect you", Mom.
