Dorothy M. “Dot” Barnshaw, age 89, of New Castle, DE, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Friday, February 21, 2020.
Born in Wilmington, DE on December 9, 1930, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Helen (Dobek) Mioduszewski. Dot graduated from Wilmington High School in 1949. In her earlier years, she worked at the Stock Exchange before becoming a homemaker.
Dot met the love of her life, Barney, at Governor Printz Roller Rink where she was a figure skater and Barney was a speed skater. Together they made a loving home for their family. For many years, they set up their wares and sold them at the New Castle Farmer’s Market. They enjoyed traveling, spending time at their beach house with their family, and visiting casinos. Dot will always be remembered as a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and a wonderful friend to many.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her daughter, Judy Lockwood. She is survived by her loving husband of 69 years, William “Barney” Barnshaw; daughters, Wendyann Krupa (Joseph) and Ginger Martin (David); grandsons, Alan Lockwood (Gina), William Krupa (Jaime), and Joseph Krupa; granddaughters, Carrie Palladinetti (Kevin) and Emily Barnshaw (James); and great grandchildren, Adriana, Brodie, Mason, and Lucas.

So sorry to hear of your loss. You do not know me but when I saw the obituary in the paper I felt there must be a connection with our families. My mothers maiden name was Dorothy Barnshaw. She had a brother nicknamed “Barney”; he was married to Edna Barnshaw and the last residence I knew for Uncle Barney was Slaughter Beach, Delaware, Aunt Edna preferred Florida and she moved there. There was never a rift in their marriage and they did spend time together, one traveling to the others home for occasional visits. I believe in posting this message that my email will be available to you. Just curious to know if we are cousins. Again, please except my condolences for your loss.
