Obituary For Barbara Jean Owens
On April 25th, 2021, our family lost its brightest light. Barbara Jean Owens was born on August 27th, 1936 in Oakland Ca. She lived a fulfilling life full of love for her family, love for her friends and love for animals. Barbara lived her life to the fullest by enjoying simple pleasures such as hanging out with her family and friends at the beach, going to water aerobic classes, making pottery in her ceramic classes, or working on a puzzle. She spent most of her time in Northern California where she worked at PG&E for over 40 years. Through those years, she developed many friendships that later became more like family. Barbara had a way with people. She was the type of person that could light up your life when you were feeling down with her infectious laugh or she would tell you a story from her adventurous life. She is survived by her older sister Shirley M. Gordon; Her daughter Amber Lea Gillman; Her grandsons, Mark Gillman Jr, Michael Gillman and Sean Fletcher, Her partner of 20 years Howard Blizinski and his children Charlie and Faye, her nieces and nephews and her three great grandchildren. A private funeral service will be held Friday, May 7, 2021, 1 PM, at Fremont Chapel of the Roses, 1940 Peralta Boulevard, Fremont.
