Barbara Jeanne (Gresham) Craft, 90, of Greendale passed away Saturday, September 6, 2025, at Ripley Crossing. Barbara was born on Friday, May 24, 1935, in Dearborn County; daughter of Enoch and Agnes (Teaney) Gresham.
Barbara resided in Greendale but she was an Aurora Red Devil at heart! She rarely met a stranger but when she did meet someone new she would quickly try to find a mutual connection.
Barbara proudly worked at Alton Box Company in Aurora in accounts payable as a payroll clerk until the company shut its doors. She then took her skills to Owens Illinois in Florence and worked there until she retired.
She was a faithful member of Aurora Baptist Church her entire life.
Barbara could often be seen having lunch at her favorite diner or out shopping for cards. She sent between 40-60 cards a week to family, friends, or anyone on her church’s prayer list that was sick or needed a little encouragement.
She was a kind and generous lady with a big heart and will be missed by her stepson Bryan (Jill) Craft of Milan and stepdaughter Vickie (John) Sandiferd of Jennings, Louisiana. Grandchildren Hannah, Haley, and Jeremy Craft, Beth Taylor and Lynn Alvaro and four great grandchildren. Her niece Brenda (Gresham) Murphy of Indianapolis and her great niece and nephews.
Services will be held at the convenience of the family. Memorials may be given in honor of Barbara to Main Street Aurora.
