Barbara Ann Moore (nee Pitts), of Wellington, died peacefully April 17th at the age of 82. Born January 28th 1940, in Cleveland, Ohio, she was married to her high-school sweetheart, Donald R. Moore, Jr. for over 30 years before his passing in 1992. Together, they owned and operated the White Front Tavern from 1977 through 1995.

She was a wonderful mother, an excellent cook, and a voracious reader. To her children, she instilled a love of music ranging from Beethoven to The Beatles, a love of gardening and cooking, and a "no-nonsense" approach to life. Among her greatest joys in life were listening to her sons playing in a rock band or her granddaughters singing and playing guitar at family gatherings.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Elizabeth Pitts; husband, Don; daughter, Kimberly; brother, Joseph; and sister, Jeanette. She is survived by brother, Timothy (Carmela) Pitts, of Bainbridge; sons, Kevin (Diana), of Wellington, Sean (Renee), of Columbus,  Adrian (Lia), of Columbus; sisters-in-law, Marilyn Springer, of Brunswick and Karen Pitts, of Painsville Twp.; granddaughters, Katherine(Ryan) Hosch, Elizabeth (Eric) Moore, Sarah Moore, and Rebecca Moore; grandson, Ian Moore; great-grandchildren, Parker, Connor, Lilyan, Vivian, and Legend; beloved friends, Robin Twining of Wellington, Kathleen Marlow of Elyria, and Shirlee Stowinsky of Macedonia; and many nieces and nephews.
