Barbara Draper Obituary

Barbara A. Draper, 69, passed away peacefully at her home in Lawrenceville, PA on May 30, 2023. Barbara was born on November 21, 1953 in Corning, NY to Wayne and Martha Doran. In 1971, Barbara married William Huggins in Elkland, PA. They had two children, Harlow and Wendy. Later, she married Claude Draper and they lost a son at birth.
Barbara worked for Corning Inc. from the early 70’s and retired on her 55th birthday in 2008. She will be remembered in so many wonderful ways by her family and friends. She had a big heart and was the first to share for those in need. She was never without a cat or dog, mostly both at the same time and often more than one of each! She loved gardening, reading, and having lunch with friends. Most importantly, she was so proud of her grandson Harlow. She loved taking Harlow to swimming lessons, wrestling, baseball practice and games and just spending time with him. She enjoyed watching him grow into a wonderful young man.
Barbara is survived by her son Harlow Huggins; and grandson, Harlow Little of Lawrenceville, PA; sisters, Nora Arico of Exeter, NH and Maxine (Mickey) Smith of Seabrook, TX; and brother, Philip (Addie) Doran of Painted Post, NY. Nieces, Angela MacKinnon of Maine, Victoria Sfalanga of Miami, FL, Christine Hughes and Tara Villanueva of Seabrook, TX, and Catherine Allen, of Chesapeake, VA. Nephews; Frank Sfalanga Jr. of Ft. Meyers, FL, Philip Sfalanga of Texas, and Joshua Doran of South Elmira, NY; as well as many loving cousins. She is preceded in death by her mother and father, loss of a son at birth and her daughter; Wendy Renee’ Huggins.
In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests donations in Barbara’s memory to: Paradise Garden Animal Haven, 598 Kent Hill Rd., Woodhull, NY 14898. A “Celebration of Life” will be held on Saturday, June 10th, 1:00 PM at her home. A private family burial will be held at a later date. Arrangements are with Kenyon Funeral Home in Elkland, PA.
