Barbara Sihlanick

I hope this grief stays with me because it's all the unexpressed love that I didn't get to tell her.” - Andrew Garfield 

Obituary

With a heart so heavy it can hardly be carried, I am saddened to announce the passing of Barbara Sihlanick. After a 13 year battle with cancer, she peacefully reunited with her mother Delores and father Robert on July 27, 2026.

Selflessly, Barbara has donated her body to medical research with the hopes of finding a cure to cancer. Her ashes will find their final resting place with her daughter.

Barbara is survived by her daughter, Nicole Baker, her Great Danes Hurk and Zeke, her brothers and sisters Anna Gaskins, Robert Sihlanick, Laura Ryan, Karen Conti, Dana Totaro, Louis Sihlanick, her other half Jim Boyer, and her best friend Tom Haffey.

There are no events planned, so please leave your memories of Barbara and sympathies to the family here. And when you get a chance, crack a cold one in her name.
