Barbara Louise Kiebler, loving wife, mother, and grandmother at age 80, peacefully entered into eternal life on April 3, 2023 in Mayfield Hts., Ohio.  The gift of her passing into spirit was shared across a circle of love from immediate family members and long-term friend, Mary Svoboda.  

Barbara was born on September 4, 1942 as the eldest child to Harold A. Clary and Elizabeth M. “Betty”  (nee:Magyar) in Chardon, Ohio.  She united in marriage with Paul E. Kiebler III in Chardon, Ohio on September 5, 1964.  She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and siblings Shirley (nee:Clary) Neill and Harold R. “Hal” Clary.   Survivors include her daughter Beth Lynn Kiebler of Gates Mills, Ohio, and son Paul E. Kiebler IV (Jody) of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, grandsons Paul E. Kiebler V and Gavin Kiebler, and her significant friend and travel companion, Scott Nolan.  

Barbara lived an active and vibrant life as a lifelong resident of Chardon, OH.  During winter months, she would fly south to her home in Fort Myers Beach, FL or Grand Cayman Islands.   She lived in service to others and led Geauga County fundraising efforts for the American Heart Association and American Cancer Society for many years.  The consummate party planner and host, Barbara enthusiastically gathered with her sisters of P.E.O Chapter DU, Chardon High School class of 1960, and volunteered with the Playhouse Square RedCoats.  Organized, trustworthy, and respected, she was elected to executive positions to aid and assist the management of her community at Shamron Beach (FL) and Burlington Green (OH).   On Sunday, Barbara could be found serving everything from pancakes to chicken paprikash at Pilgrim Christian Church (Chardon).  Barbara was a renowned world traveler at easy and frequently mistook as a “local” whether hugging koalas (Australia), riding camels (Egypt), wine tasting (San Francisco), wading for lobsters and antiques (Maine), shaking the hand of the Pope (Italy), or enjoying fresh cucumber & tomato salad (Greece-favorite!).   Barbara’s greatest passion was her family and spending time with her beloved grandsons.  Always with a fabulous new recipe, a packed lunch, dedicated homeroom mom, Geauga County 4-H leader, and winner of the last card game.   She will be so deeply missed and forever remembered as a passionate spirit, pure compassion for her family and friends, and giving heart.
