Barbara Jean (Kent) Bish

Barbara Jean (Kent)  Bish , age 63, of Austintown, Ohio, passed away peacefully on June 1, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family. 

She was born October 10, 1961, in Lakewood OH to the late Eugene and Jean  (Lamparyk) Kent. Barbara devoted her life to her family and home. As a homemaker, she found deep joy in the simple, meaningful things—crafting with care, baking with love, and creating a warm, comforting space for all who entered her life. Her quiet creativity and giving spirit touched everyone around her.

Barbara's legacy lives on through her beloved children, Raymond (Jaime) Lebok and Jessica Lebok; and her cherished grandchildren, Aidan and Madison, who were the lights of her life. She is also survived by her loving sisters, Susan Ann Urban (Philip, deceased) and Teri Frances Cleary (Brian), and many nieces and nephews who will carry her memory in their hearts.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Eugene and Jean Kent, and her siblings, Timothy Ray Kent, Sandra Marie Furber-O’Malley, and Dean Charles Kent.

Barbara will be remembered for her strength, gentleness, and unwavering love for her family. Her presence will be deeply missed, but the warmth she shared will live on in those who knew and loved her.

A private family service will be held to honor her life.
