Write a commentBarbara S. Wilcox, 70, of New Haven, passed away Thanksgiving Day in her home surrounded by her loving family and close friends.
Born in Boonville, Missouri, she was the daughter of the late Floyd Paul and Martha Sue Batchelor. She married the love of her life, Donald L. Wilcox, in 1965 and they settled in New Haven, New York to raise a family. Barb was a loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother; she loved God and the community in which she lived, sewing and crafting, gardening, baking, reading and drinking coffee and she discovered late in life the thrill of motorcycling. She was an honorary member of the Oswego County Comets Riding Club.
Barb was pre-deceased by her devoted husband, Donald L. Wilcox; her brothers, John Batchelor and Floyd (Flip) Batchelor and her precious darlin' granddaughter, Maggie Sue Glenister Wilcox.

Calling hours will be held Saturday, November 26, 2016, at the New Haven United Methodist Church on State Route 104 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm with funeral services immediately to follow, officiated by her dear friend and pastor, the Rev.
