Barbara Spiro Obituary

Spiro, Barbara Ann (nee Cooper) 78, beloved wife of Mark; loving mother of Lauren (Timothy Gilbert) Spiro. Barbara was an amazing person who was positive about everything even in the face of adversity or trouble. She charmed and enchanted everyone she met, from the people at the bank, to the person behind the counter at their favorite Chinese restaurant. Family, friends, strangers - they were all drawn to her warm and gregarious personality. She had a great sense of humor and always wanted to find the silver lining in everything. As a person who was easy to talk to, she was an incredibly caring person who genuinely wanted to know about her fellow human beings. She was kind to people, especially those who needed help or couldn't help themselves. Services have been held. Contributions may be made to American Red Cross, www.redcross.org. Info: Weinstein & Piser Funeral Home, 847-256-5700.
