Barbarra Ann Vetter, age 79 of Moorefield, WV, passed away Thursday morning, January 9, 2025, at the Grant Memorial Hospital in Petersburg, WV. Born on April 14, 1945, in Brockton, MA, Barbara was a cherished daughter of the late James Eugene Johnson and Gloria Anita Scaldini Johnson. She also had a sister, Kathleen Melker, who preceded her in death.
Barbara spent an admirable 15 years working as a lady mail carrier, bringing smiles to many faces in the community. In her leisure time, she indulged in her favorite hobbies—sewing, solving crossword puzzles, and challenging friends to a game of Scrabble. And for those who knew her well, she undoubtedly enjoyed the thrill of a video poker machine now and then!
Surviving is her loving husband, Harry H. “Skeet” Vetter, III; brothers, Alan (Linda) Ward of Georgetown, TX and Michael (Linda) Ward of Tyler, TX; sisters, Rebecca (Carson) Pearce of Harker Heights, TX and Patricia (Fred) Oborne of Temple, TX along with countless friends who considered her family.
To honor Barbara’s incredible life, a Celebration of Life will take place at 7:00 PM on Thursday, January 16, 2025, at the Fraley Funeral Home Chapel located at 107 Washington Street. Pastor Chris Whetzel will officiate the ceremony, and we warmly invite you to join us for an evening filled with memories and laughter as we celebrate the vibrant life of this remarkable woman. Friends and family will be welcomed starting at 6:00 PM until the time of the service.
