Barbara S. Broadwater's Obituary
Barbara Lou Stotler, 87 years old, of Dagsboro, DE, passed away peacefully March 29, 2025, at her home surrounded by her family.
Barbara was born on August 14, 1937, in Cumberland, MD to Evy and Myrtle Stotler. She was the last remaining member of her immediate family. She is survived by her husband Dennis (Fred) Broadwater, children, Cynthia Lynn Smith (Rene Fechter) and Eric Scott Broadwater (Tracey), grandchildren Ashley Smith, Samantha Conley, Heather Robinson, Ashley Haines, Amber Whitaker, and her (10) great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by parents, Evy and Myrtle Stotler, Siblings Louis Stotler, Virginia Siebert, Robert Stotler and Shirley Hickey.
She began her bookkeeping career at Potomac Farms Dairy, later Friends Aware and retired from St. John Neumann Elementary School in 2002.
She enjoyed traveling with her beloved husband of 65 years, their favorite destination being the beach where they would later relocate. In her free time, you could find her spoiling her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Barbara was always willing to whip up a batch of chipped beef gravy for her grandchildren as it was their childhood favorite.
No Services will be held at this time. In lieu of flowers, the family requests a memorial gift to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or to the Delaware Hospice (delawarehospice.org).
