Paoletti, Barbara Ann Kelly, 84 of Tarpon Springs, Florida, joined her heavenly father on April 15, 2020.
She was born April 7, 1936 in Binghamton, New York. Barbara was a graduate of St. Patrick’s Academy in Binghamton and also her beloved St. Joseph’s College in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
Barbara’s passions were her four sons and were their biggest supporter. She loved books, especially Russian authors and Clancy. She loved to laugh and always enjoyed a good shopping trip and good discussion. Barbara was also a volunteer of the first order. Barbara is survived by her loving husband, Joseph O Paoletti; four sons, Joseph W., Thomas F. (Tracy), Steven V. (Susan), and Matthew J. (Nealy); twelve grandchildren; one sister, Jane S. Lynn of Oxon Hill, Maryland; sister-in-law Hilda T. Pettinato of Endicott, New York; and her many beloved nieces and nephews.
Interment will take place at a later date at Mount Saint Mary’s Cemetery in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

Joe and Family, our prayers and thoughts are with you. We are so blessed and thankful to have known Barbara and for the time we spent with her and you, Joe. Both of you were so helpful and made every day easier for us. You both in your own special way cared for my mom, my dad, and family. Thank you!

Dear Joe and Family. My deepest condolences to you all. I wish I could attend the funeral at St. Ignatius Catholic Church.
Because of the virus, I must offer my prayers from home. Blessings to you and joy in sharing memories of Barbara.
