Barbara Ann Brady, 84, of Owings, Maryland, passed away on January 30, 2024 at University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center. She was born on the first day of spring, March 20, 1939 in West Virginia to Peter Ferri and Katherine Kinsler. Barbara was a proud coal miner's daughter who grew up in West Virginia and graduated from Mount Hope High School class of 1957, where she was a member of the Majorette's team, and was voted "Best Dancer", and "Cutest Couple" with her first love. She moved to Maryland in the early 1960's, where she not only lovingly raised her own children, but became known as a mother to their entire community and made her home a haven for anyone they called friend. Barbara was known for her kindness, selflessness, and tireless work ethic. In her free time, she enjoyed shopping, especially at antique shops, yard sales, and flea markets, getting her hair and nails done, and watching hallmark movies. She especially loved making magic happen at Christmas time for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren—her greatest joys in life.
Barbara is survived by her husband, Michael "Mike" Brady of Owings; Children George Parrish, Kellie A. Newton (Michael), all of Owings, and Samuel "Sam" Chaney of Gambrills; grandchildren Nicole Owens (Levi), Katie Hagelin (Tyler), Dillon Estep, Shelby Riches (Simon), Daniel Parrish, Nicholas Newton, and Nathan Newton; great-grandchildren Aubrie Owens, Jamie Hagelin, Eli Hagelin, Zoe Hagelin, and Camden Riches; sisters Kitty Nugent, and Joy Wrubel. Barbara was preceded in death by her parents; her stepfather Ernie Grilly; and sister Bettie Blasczak. Following the memorial service, a reception will be held at the American Legion Stallings-Williams post 206 in Chesapeake Beach, MD. Visitation Thursday, February 8, 2024 4:00 P.M. – 6:00 P.M.
