BARBARA M. ALSHEIMER
AVOCA-Barbara M. Alsheimer, 81, of the Waterbury Hill Road, passed away suddenly Sunday morning (April 14, 2013) at Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, Pa.
Born in Wallace on January 18, 1932, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Ila Mattoon Jackson. Besides her parents, she was also predeceased by her son, Daniel Alsheimer in 1986 and by her two brothers, Wendell Jackson and Russell “Bill” Jackson.
A lifelong resident of Avoca, Barbara was a graduate of Avoca Central School and attended the former Dayne Business School in Bath.
She was employed in the accounting department of the Taylor Wine Co. in Hammondsport for about 27 years and also owned AA Tax Service in Avoca since 1971.
Barbara was an avid Yankees fan and always enjoyed attending the sporting events that her children were involved with. She also enjoyed knitting and often knitted baby hats for the area hospital; but most of all she will be remembered as a loving wife, mother and grandmother who was known for her delicious “feasts” that she would prepare whenever her family were together.
Her family includes her husband of nearly 63 years, Walter J. Alsheimer, who she married in Avoca on August 6, 1950; her five children, John (Kimrae) Alsheimer of Interlaken, Patricia (Thomas) Broderick of Hornell, Joan Alsheimer (Michael Gabrielli) of Corning, Robert Alsheimer (Linda Impelizzieri) of Liverpool and Barbara (Harry) Fuller of Bloomington, Ill; her 13 grandchildren, two step-grandchildren and several great-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren.
Calling hours are from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday (April 20) at the Avoca Funeral Home, 22 N. Main St., Avoca, where a funeral and committal service will be held in her memory following calling hours at 1 p.m. Saturday, with Rev. Daniel Pickering officiating.
In lieu of flowers those wishing may contribute in her memory to the American Diabetes Assoc., 6390 Fly Road, 2nd Floor, East Syracuse, N.Y. 13057
I think I first met her when I was only 11 years old. I recall her being classy and kind. Very sad to hear about her passing.
Dear Uncle Walt, John, Pat, Joanie, Bob and Barbie,
We are so, so sorry. We are thinking of you, and our thoughts are so heavy. Aunt Barb, a beautiful person, with the best smile and the kindest heart. She was always positive about all that came her way, and when she needed to be ‘upfront’ with you….she was. She was always there for our family(s). You are in our hearts and prayers. Love You All.
To Joan and family. I just wanted to express my sincere condolence for your loss.
Bob and family-
Our thoughts and prayers are will with all.
Joni-
Steve and I were so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Walt and family, our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this time.
So sorry for your loss, please accept my prayers for the family. I have fond memories from childhood of Mrs. Alsheimer and the family!
“What One Carries Deep In His Heart Cannot Be Lost By Death.”
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
(P.S. I love you)
Rest in peace Aunt Barb.
Barbie, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your mom was a wonderful lady who will be missed by all~God bless
My sincere condolences go out to your entire family. Barb was indeed a exceptional person. She always had a way of inspiring and motivating me every time I had a chance to enjoy her company. Even in her times of illness, she always showed more concern for others than herself, what a rare quality! I was blessed to have known her and to call her a friend.
my prayers are with all of you at this time. sorry for your loss. r.i.p. aunt Barb.
I loved my Mom! I have had health issues and my Mom was a Mom to me right to the very end. Even with losing her sight, her freedom of movement she would always call me to help me. I want to thank so many people and their compassion and love to my Family. I read a poem at the funeral “the broken Chain” but I didn’t say what I wanted at the beginning. Here it goes: I am so proud to be the oldest daughter of my Mom, Barbara Mae Alsheimer. I love you and all the people who prayed, loved, shared with “my family”! God bless you! Love Patricia
I am sorry to read of your loss. Many have lost loved ones and want to see them again. The Bible actually shares a hope found at John 5:28,29 which says,”Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.” May this be of encouragement to you.
