Barbara A. McGinn, age 83, of Philadelphia, PA passed away peacefully on November 17, 2024, with her beloved family by her side. She was the cherished wife of the late James W. McGinn, Sr., and a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and sister.

Barbara was the loving mother of Deborah Kenney (the late James), James W. McGinn, Jr. (Joan), Brian McGinn, Sr. (Adrienne), the late Donna Allen, and the beloved mother-in-law of Steve Allen. She was a proud and doting "Mom Mom" to her grandchildren Robert Jr., Jeffrey Sr., Christopher, Kelly, Amanda, James III, Matt, Brian Jr., Aiden, and Liam, and a great-grandmother to Robert III, Jeffrey Jr., Evin, Robert, Rebecca, Reid, Lilly, Makayla, Carter, Connor, and Lilah. She was also the dear sister of Arlene Hathoway, and is survived by many loving nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

Barbara's love for her family was boundless, and she was dedicated to caring for them throughout her life. Her closest friends, Elaine, Dot, Sis, and Harriett, who had been by her side since their teenage years, were also an important part of her life. The five would spend every Wednesday evening together, a tradition they cherished deeply.
