Obituary

Barbara Louise Hiller (nee Lloyd), passed away peacefully at Country Meadows Retirement Community, Mechanicsburg, PA, on August 7, 2024 with family by her side.

Barbara was born in Harrisburg, PA on July 26, 1928, daughter of the late Paul and Mary Lloyd. Barbara attended Harrisburg schools graduating from John Harris High School. She was active in Girls Scouts, including working as a camp counselor at Pine Grove Furnace State Park. She graduated from Mary Washington College and went to work at Calvert Distillers in Baltimore, MD where she met her husband, Jim. They were married in September 1952. In 1961, after Jim was transferred to the Seagram offices in NYC, they relocated to Ridgewood, NJ with their two daughters.

Barbara was active with the Women’s Group at Ridgewood Methodist Church. She also continued her involvement with Girl Scouts, serving as troop leader for both her daughters. Barbara loved sewing clothes as well as making beautiful quilts. She also restored many pieces of furniture.

In 1986, after Jim’s retirement, they relocated to State College, PA in close proximity to her beautiful Mt. Nittany. She became very active in the Women’s Club where she worked in the thrift shop doing displays, leading craft classes, and was always an eager contributor to the Holiday Bazaars.

Barbara is survived by her daughters, Susan (Pete) Murray and Mary (Michael) Scheffey; grandchildren, Jennifer (Darren) Ham, Kevin (Michelle) Murray and Stacy Scheffey; and great-grandchildren, Annabelle, Emily and Michael Ham and Kaylee and Elliott Murray. Barbara is also survived by her sister, Margaret Adam as well as two nieces and two nephews.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jim; grandson, Brian Murray; brother, Wallis Lloyd and his wife, Patricia and nephews, Paul and Brian Lloyd.

Barbara’s family is very grateful to the staff of Country Meadows for the care she received.
