Barbara J. Walsh

Barbara was born in Astoria, NY but was raised in the Bronx where she had a wonderful childhood with her loving parents, John and Margaret Kiernan and her three sisters, Linda, Marilyn and Carol.

At 17, it was love at first sight when she met Dennis Walsh, who she married in 1956. Together they had 6 children that can all look back and smile at the phenomenal memories and unconditional love their parents gave them all their lives.

Whether it was living in the Bronx, East Brunswick NJ or Toms River, NJ where Barbara and Dennis retired to- Barbara always made sure everyone knew their house was a place all were welcomed and loved.

Barbara was predeceased by her husband Dennis in 2007 and her son Tommy in 2021. She leaves behind her loving children; Laura Denti, Nancy Gaydos, Denny Walsh, Gerry Walsh and Bobbi Jo Hernandez and her son-in-laws.

She was the absolute best grandma to her 13 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild. All grandkids hold sweet and funny memories of their Grams close to their hearts.

If you were lucky enough to know Barbara, you had a friend for life.

She will be greatly missed, but her beautiful smile is embedded in all of our hearts forever.

The world was truly a better place because of the way Barbara Walsh lived and loved.
