Barbara Suzanne Temporiti passed away on Saturday, June 12, 2021 due to complications brought on by Covid 19.
Barbara was born January 15, 1950 in Christopher, Illinois to Charles Robert “Tip” Temporiti and Ramona “Sue” West-Temporiti.
As a child, she lived in Indianapolis, IN, Benton, IL, Russellville, KY, and finally “Old” Gilbertsville, KY with her family. The last 35 years, she has lived in Calvert City, KY. Twenty five of those were with her life partner, Aubrey Holland, until his passing in 2008.
Barbara was a charter member of the Calvert City Eagles Club establishment in 1972 and has been a bartender there for most of the last 35 years. She was a graduate of North Marshall High School class of 1968. After that, Barbara did what she wanted. She was also always the type you didn’t have to wonder what she was thinking because she would usually let you know. Barbara never knew a stranger. She loved her friends, social gatherings, and to talk.
Barbara didn’t like the idea of being an old person. She wanted to remain a free spirit. Knowing that, let it ease your mind she was ready to leave her pain and sadness behind to join the social gathering in the heavens with her loved ones that preceded her.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Sue West-Temporiti and life partner Aubrey Holland.
She is survived by her father Charles “Tip” Temporiti; brother, Mark Temporiti; daughter, Kimberly Temporiti-Reed; granddaughter, Lauren Reed; grandson, Blake Reed; great-grandchildren Kainan, Aria, and Kendlallyn Yeckering; several cousins; best friend, Teresa Barnhill and many friends that love her.

Visitation will be held from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM on Wednesday, June 16, 2021 at Filbeck and Cann Funeral Home of Milner & Orr.
