Barbara Linnette Bailey's Obituary
It is with great sadness that the family of the Arrindell's announces the passing of Barbara Linnette Arrindell, a beloved soul who touched many lives with her kindness and tireless spirit.
Born to Mabelle and Henry Arrindell, Barbara lived a life marked by dedication, accomplishment, and deep love for her family. Barbara demonstrated an incredible work ethic from a young age. At just 19, she was a self-employed seamstress and felt a great sense of accomplishment when she had the opportunity to sew the wedding dresses for her nieces. She later embarked on a distinguished career as a Police Administrative Assistant, where she worked diligently until her retirement at the age of 65.
Barbara’s greatest legacy is her devoted family. She is survived by her two loving sons, Frankie and Marlon, and her daughters-in-law, Arlene and Margarita. She was a cherished grandmother to Shaista, Marlon Jr., Mikel, Rafael, and Raymond, and a proud great-grandmother to Anliyah, Tehri, and Brook-Lyn. She will also be dearly missed by her nieces and nephews, including Debra and Jennifer, and many other extended family members and friends.
Family, friends, and others whose lives Barbara touched are invited to a visitation to reminisce, grieve, support each other, and chat.
