Barbara was employed by St. Joseph's School in North Plainfield for almost 30 years, impacting scores of students, teachers and parishioners. Barbara was also a long time parishioner at St. Joseph's RC Church.

Barbara was a woman of deep faith and conviction, and we know the reception line that greeted her in heaven is both long and illustrious. She was predeceased by her husband, Robert Glassett, her mother Claire Jones Beehler, her father Charles Beehler, grandson Connor Glassett as well as numerous relatives and friends that we know welcomed her home..

Barbara is survived by her children and their spouses Eileen and Brian Keene of Fair Lawn, Theresa and William Clark of Stirling, Robert and Ellen Glassett of Fair Lawn and Kevin and Elise Glassett of Bainbridge, NY, as well as 12 grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

The family would also like to thank the kindness of her North Plainfield neighbors, without whom she could not have remained at home for the last few years.
