Barbara Ann Wellington Lemaster, 86, of Circleville, Ohio left her earthly home on Monday, December 8, 2025 on the wings of a butterfly. Barbara was born in Millport, Ohio on April 25, 1939 to the late Robert Fulton and Esther Pauline (McManus) Wellington.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased in death by her husband of 50 years, the love of her life, James Phillip Lemaster; brothers Donnie and Herbie Wellington; three infant siblings and special friend Richard Kersey.
Barbara is survived by her children, Stephen Lemaster (TJ Nadrowski) and Jami Rene' (Tad) Wilhelm; grandson Taylor Philip (Ariel) Ross; great grandchildren Adalynn, Brock, Megan and Jameson; and Slick, also known as the family butler. Barbie also leaves behind several special nieces and nephews that she adored and her special friend, Janet Coleman.
She was a 1957 graduate of Ashville-Harrison High School. Barbara's love for God and her magnificent personality touched so very many lives spreading love, smiles, sunshine and compliments galore. No matter what obstacles life threw her way, she always gave all the glory to God and loved her family immensely, all while looking like a million bucks.
Her work ethic was impeccable. Barbara retired at 80 from the Trellis/Christian Women's Job Corps, where she lovingly mentored many wonderful ladies, enabling them to expand and better their lives. Prior to that, she worked as National Secretary for the Performance Ford Club of America, where she worked for many years. She absolutely loved her job and the Ford Motor Company products; especially her Lincolns and Mercury's.
Barbara's family would like to thank Dr. Heidi Page; niece Heather; her loving caregivers Alycia, Rebecca, Kim and Pam; her wonderful nurse Kelly; and NCR Hospice.
