Barbara Mae (Smith) Tyciak, 84, of Manahawkin,NJ passed away at home with her family by her side.
She grew up in the Philadelphia area and got to dance on American Bandstand.
Most of her life, Mom worked as what used to be called a "hairdresser" but her family would all agree she was a "hair stylist" by the way she did her own hair.
After her retirement you would often find her outside in her garden using her hands in the soil, which she loved.
Being one of Jehovah's Witnesses, she also spent her time sharing her love of the Bible with others.
Barbara is survived by her three daughters and her son, 6 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.
Her wishes were to keep things private and her family has followed her wishes.
She will be missed by all!
Thos L. Shinn Funeral Home, 10 Hillard Dr., Manahawkin, NJ was entrusted with the funeral arrangements.
