Barbara Mary (Kelondis) Myers, 90, of Glastonbury, died May 28, 2020 at Glastonbury Health Care Center. Beloved wife of the late Clifford J. Myers, she was the daughter of the late Angelo and Esther (Lesson) Kelondis. Born September 27, 1929 in the family home in Schaghticoke, NY, Barbara graduated from Schaghticoke High School.
In 1949 she married and became a US Navy wife. They made their home near the Navy base in Newport, RI. After raising three children, Barbara began a career at Rogers High School in Newport, where thousands of students knew Mrs. Myers as "the Lunch Lady". She and Cliff became ardent Rogers High Basketball fans, often travelling to 'away' games. Mimi adored her three grandchildren, spoiling them at every opportunity. After her retirement, she and Cliff enjoyed many trips to Navy ship reunions, and extended stays at their daughters' homes, doting on the grandkids. Barbara is survived by her children Robert Myers of Mobile, AL, Michele Bowden and her husband Rich of Glastonbury, CT and Barbara O'Brien and her husband Larry of Fairfield, CT; 3 grandchildren Kathryn Bowden, Robert O'Brien and Dylan O'Brien; a brother Robert Kelondis of Easton, NY; many cousins, nieces, nephews, other relatives
and friends. In addition to her husband and parents, she was predeceased by a brother Frederick Kelondis, 3 sisters Irene Saunders, Alma Wise and Rita Ratelle, and a daughter-in-law Sue Myers. The family is grateful for the loving care given to Barbara during her last years by the wonderful staff at the Glastonbury Health Care Center.
