Barbara Ann Kasony (April 23, 1952 – February 18, 2025) Barbara Kasony, beloved mother and grandmother of Wrightstown, NJ passed away at home on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, leaving a void in her family that can never be filled. Barbara was born in Trenton, NJ in 1952 to Arthur and Caroline Lewis. She was one of 5 siblings, to whom she remained very close and connected with throughout their lives. Barbara attended Northern Burlington High School and went on to have a very successful career at the United States Postal Service where she retired from after 37 years of service. Barbara was a loving and devoted mother to Wayne Wharton II (Chenoa) and Bobbi Ann Wharton. While Barbara could not be any prouder of her children, her pride and joy in life were her 4 grandsons: Colton, Wyatt, Ty Wayne, and Chace. Nothing made Barb happier than time spent with her boys, whether it be camping, road tripping, sitting in the bleachers of hundreds of sporting events watching them play, meeting up at a diner with them, crashing their poker games, or just watching a movie. Barb was known as their “Crazy Granny” and took great pride in keeping that name true to it’s meaning by never hesitating to break out in song when in public with them, be up for a dance in the middle of any room, learn a new game to play with them, or step out into the road to stop traffic so that her boys could cross over. She always had the time for them and made the most of it, even if it was a quick phone call just to see how their day was going and if they were ok. If you were lucky enough to know Barb, then you knew all about her Grandsons because she could never say enough good about them. They were her heart’s grandest love and the joy of her life. She showed and shared her love for them daily, in all ways big and small, and has left an imprint in their lives and on their hearts that could never be erased. To her children, she was the most loving, accepting, and encouraging friend and mother. Nothing stopped her from finding the positivity in any situation and making sure to let them know that she was always there to support them on every level. She never hesitated to let them know how proud she was of them, especially because of what a fine job they’d done raising “Her grandsons” and that she could not ask for any more in life than just that. Barbara was a constant in her children’s everyday lives. She shared the good days, the bad days, the normal days, the joys and sorrows of her children’ lives and was always right where you needed her to be when you needed her the most. She was a wonderful mother and friend who will be so very missed. Barbara was predeceased by the love of her life, Andrew Kasony III. Barb and Andy were married for 33 years and built a beautiful life and family together. They enjoyed their life together, especially in their retirement years. For many years, they “snow-birded” in Florida and spent countless hours with the Philadelphia Phillies at Spring Training. Together they loved the sport of baseball, the Phillies, and the warm Florida weather and they enjoyed it immensely. Barb and Andy loved to travel and made it a point to visit all 50 states while RVing. They often took family and friends along with them on their adventures and created memories of a lifetime on each trip. Together they showed their children and grandchildren how to enjoy life to the fullest and how to share that enjoyment with others with every given opportunity. Family was Barbara’s main priority, and she made sure that everyone knew that. She loved her brothers and sisters, Lee, Linda, Doug, and Joy (Anthony), unconditionally with unwavering love. Family traditions with them meant everything to Barb, and while traditions changed as life did, Barbara’s commitment to spending time with her siblings did not. She would travel as far as she had to if it meant she got to spend time with them or make as much room as was needed if it meant that some of them could be together. Barbara was a loving and devoted sister and best friend to them always. They also enjoyed life together and made most of any time spent together. They kept a true and strong sibling bond throughout their lives knowing that one of them was never too far away if they needed each other. They shared an example of love for each other that will not be forgotten. Barb’s love for her cousins was as close to sibling love that it could be. She shared many adventures with them, traveling to visit them, calling them regularly on the phone, meeting up for dinner, and enjoying time with them. This same type of relationship carried over into her role as a loving and caring Aunt to many. She always had time to spend with her nieces and nephews and enjoyed every minute with them. Barb loved each of her family members deeply and enjoyed seeing the extension of it carry on into her grandson’s lives and in their own relationships with her siblings and cousins. Barbara’s warm and friendly personality blessed her with many friends over the years. Her open mind and open heart warmed so many whether it was over an unexpected lunch date at the diner where she offered to share her booth, or swinging in to visit friends and have a cup of coffee at their kitchen table. Barb believed in old-fashioned relationships where you could just sit together and talk over a cup of coffee and enjoy the company of others. Her door was always open as was her heart. Barb would share anything that she had with anyone, except maybe her Bingo bag! She was an avid bingo player and thoroughly enjoyed her time playing with friends and family. She kept her weekly bingo schedule like clockwork. Barb’s children and grandchildren knew that there were only a few particular times during the week that Gran wouldn’t answer the phone and that was when the bingo numbers were being called. She has made many Bingo Buddies over the years who will miss her greatly. Barbara was preceded in death by her parents Arthur and Caroline Lewis; her son, Christopher Wharton; her husband, Andy Kasony; her brother-in-law, Jerry Skotarek; her son-in-law, Darrin Nicholl; her brothers, Lee and Douglas Lewis, as well as many dearly loved aunts, uncles, and cousins. Barbara is survived by her daughter, Bobbi Ann Wharton; her son and daughter-in-law, Wayne and Chenoa Wharton, her grandsons, Colt Wharton (Emily), Wyatt Wharton (Katelyn), Ty Wharton (Abbigail), and Chace Wharton (Lauren); her granddaughter, Chelsea Nicholl; her sister Linda May Skotarek; her sister and brother-in-law, Joy and Anthony Pancko; family member, Louis Moretto (Bonnie); her sister-in-law and brother- in-law, Marie and Stan Repko; her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, George and Tammy Kasony; and several nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
