BARBARA LOU KEHR

Barbara Lou Kehr, 82, of Ashburn, Virginia, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 17, 2022, surrounded by loved ones. Barbara was born on Sunday, January 28, 1940 in Paris, Virginia to the late Bernard H. Neff and the late Marion Elizabeth Rose Neff. She was predeceased by her husband David Burnett Kehr. Barbara was a wonderful wife, mother and homemaker, and she adored children. When her own children were young, she raised them and cared for many others in her home through the years. As a lifelong Old Ashburn resident, she loved the people of Ashburn and enjoyed working for many years at Partlow Brothers Store, serving food with a smile to her friends and neighbors. She also loved her time with the students at the Cedar Lane Elementary School Cafeteria. Barbara dedicated her life to caring for the people she loved. Barbara spent hours antiquing and visiting local flea markets with her children. But her favorite afternoon pastime, for over 40 years, was watching “The Young And The Restless”. And, anyone who knew her, knew not to call her between 12:30 and 1:30 during the week. Barbara was a devoted and loving mother to her six children, son Richard (Estela) Kehr, late daughter Susan (Paul) Jenkins, daughter Debby (Doug) Gibson, daughter Kay (Mark) Walker, son Randall Kehr, and daughter Julie (Chris) Brutchey.
