Barbara Ann Besecker went home to be with the lord on August 21, 2025. She was in
the care of Heart to Heart Hospice at Westminster Village with her Loving Daughter Lisa
by her side.

Barb was born on December 9 th , 1937 in Piqua Ohio to Dorothy Ann and Franklin Miller.
She was preceded in death by her parents, a loving husband Vic Besecker, son Scott
Tillman, brother Doug Miller, Aunt Helen Pryfogle-Robbins and a great grandson Evan

She is lovingly remembered by her son Brett Tillman, wife Rose; daughter Lisa Ann
Morgan, husband Todd; grandchildren Alyvia Clark, husband Evan, Landon Morgan,
wife Gabrielle, Jena Eagle, husband Corey; Great Grandchildren, Rylan Eagle, Reagan
Eagle and Callum Clark. Along with many special nieces and nephews.

Barb was a proud member of the Piqua HS Marching band. She graduated from Piqua
HS in 1955. She was a farmer’s wife after working at Ohio Bell in Piqua then on to
Wayne hospital in Greenville as a phone operator and cashier. Barb loved to volunteer
and knock on doors for many of the area fund raisers like the American Heart
Association and various cancer drives. Barb was one of the first lady members of the
Pitsburg Lions Club where she helped with many charity events. She was always
thrilled to work the gate at the Great Darke County Fair. She absolutely loved selling the
annual fair passes and of course the fair food.

Barb spent most of her 2000’s enjoying life in “The Villages” of Florida. She could be
found on the Tennis courts, in the pool, at Katie Belles dancing, buzzing around on her
blue golf cart or playing cards with her Florida friends. Her last few years were spent at
Westminster Village in Muncie to be reunited with her daughter Lisa and making new
card playing friends. She could be found buzzing around Westminster on her little blue
scooter wearing something that sparkled.

Barb was a dedicated Christian who loved Jesus and found her strength in God. She
was a long-time member of Faith Baptist Church, then Pleasant View Missionary and
most recently attending church in Muncie with Lisa and Todd at Westminster
Presbyterian.

A special thanks from the family to the caring staff at Westminster Village and Heart to
Heart Hospice. Especially Pastor Phil and mother’s special friends fast Barb and
neighbor Angie.
