Barbara Joan Gombert, age 86, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 30 in Leesburg, VA. She is survived by her son Michael, daughter-in-law Kim and daughter Susan. Barbara's husband Richard preceded her in death on July 9, 2018.

Barbara was a graduate of Drexel University where she met her husband. They started their lives together while Richard was in the U.S. Marine Corps. She was a loving housewife and mother with a variety of interests. While living in Philadelphia, she was active in her church and as a Girl Scout leader. Upon moving to Pittsburgh, Barbara was a volunteer for Meal on Wheels and was extremely proud of her many years as a volunteer at UPMC's St. Margaret's Hospital. She had many friends and spent time with them through a weekly bowling club, a book club and bridge club.

She and her husband enjoyed their many trips throughout the country, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. She was probably at her happiest with her family at the Outer Banks. Barbara was an avid fan of classical music and opera and spent many Sunday afternoons with her husband at the Pittsburgh Symphony.

Donations in Barbara's memory may be made to the Alzheimer's Foundation or your local Meals on Wheels.

Graveside will be at Quantico National Cemetery on Friday, June 14, 2019 at 11:00 am.
