Mrs. Barry was born Nov. 9, 1918, in Barnard, Mo., to Fred and Merle (Hardisty) Carter. In 1921, she moved with her family to a farm south of Akron. She received her elementary education in one-room schools.
In 1936 she married Reynold Sundling. After her husband's death in 1945, she moved from the farm to a home in Akron where she lived for the rest of her life. In 1947, she married Bill Barry.

She also collected knickknacks of owls and sunflowers and, most recently, stuffed teddy bears. She enjoyed playing Rummikub and various card games. She was often seen playing an electronic game of Solitaire. . .
She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Vada Alt, and daughter, Patricia. . .
