Barbara Lou Fox, 85, of Zelienople, formerly of Pittsburgh, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on Thursday, Nov. 23, 2023, while under the care of Concordia at Villa St. Joseph.

Born Oct. 10, 1938, in Pittsburgh, she was the daughter of the late Louis Joseph Yedlicka and Ann Julia Deemer Yedlicka.

Barb was a 1958 graduate of Etna High School. She went on to work for Allegheny General Hospital at several positions in the nuclear medicine research department. When her children were born, she became a homemaker heart and soul. Barb was an accomplished seamstress and avid quilter. She loved playing the piano and singing the hymns of the church. She found great pleasure in crafting, especially her fabric creations. Her family was blessed to enjoy her wonderful cooking and baking.

A favorite pastime was enjoying her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and encouraging their activities and their pursuit of sports, especially hockey. She enjoyed the Penguins and could name all the players and their statistics. She loved watching classic movies, playing games and flower gardening. Her love of photography gave her great happiness. She will be remembered as a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered.

Barb leaves behind to cherish her memory her husband of 59 years, Addison David Fox, whom she married on Dec. 19, 1964; her children, Cindy (David Todd) Zeigler, of Zelienople, and David Douglas Fox, of New Sewickley Township; her grandchildren, Zachary (Erika) Zeigler, of New Sewickley Township, and Zane (Mariah) Zeigler, of Fort Worth, Texas; her great-grandchildren, Taylan Zeigler, Jaiden Ingold and Evelyn Zeigler; and her many nieces and nephews.
