Barbara “Babs” Ann (Daugherty) Holbrook went home to be with the Lord and her husband Bea on January 5, 2020. She passed away on the same day as her husband, fifteen years apart. She missed her husband every second of everyday he was gone, and now she’s in his arms forever.
Born in Wilmington, DE on June 30, 1959, she was a daughter of James Daugherty and the late Mary “Mitzie” (Edwards) Dixon. Babs was a Delaware native and attended Glasgow High School. She was a loving mom and grandmother who enjoyed spending time with her family.
In addition to her mother, Mitzie, she was preceded in death by her loving husband, Lundy “Bea” Holbrook Jr.; grandparents, James and Mattie Daniel; and her brother, James Daugherty Jr. She is survived by her father, James Daugherty Sr.; her sister, Audrey “Toni” Bartelt; two daughters, Shauna A. Holbrook, and Brianna M. Holbrook; one son, Lundy B. Holbrook III and his wife, Ashley (Marquiss) Holbrook; and seven grandchildren, Matthew W. Reynolds, Isaiah J. Holbrook, Elijah B. Holbrook, Emmanuel A. M. Holbrook, Angel L. Cruz III, Faith D. Cruz, and an unborn granddaughter baring Babs’ namesake, Barbara J. Cruz.
A graveside service will be held at 10am on Saturday, January 11, 2020, at Gracelawn Memorial Park, 2220 North DuPont Parkway, New Castle, Delaware. Her final resting place will be near her grandparents, James and Mattie Daniel. Family and friends are welcome to attend.

Mom,
We met under extremely hard circumstances, when I was 17. You’ve always tried to do right by me, from day one. You were my roll dog. I fell in love with my husband under your roof and wary eye (she’s 17! I can still hear you).
You were the first person I told I was pregnant, even before my own mom. Actually, you told me lol. I loved watching you with your grand babies, my daughter included. The pride in your face when you looked at those kids was beautiful. Also when you would tell ppl how smart Corey is with computers, or about Lundy being a cop, so proud of all your kids, blood and other wise. Sometimes family is the people you choose, and it’s been an honor to be chosen as your adopted daughter. I promise to always ride with and for Shauna and the kids, like you would if you were here. I love you so so so much.
