Barbara Littlehale

After a long wait and valiant struggle, Barbara Jean was called Home to rest on September 17th, 2014. Barbara Jean was born July 20, 1935, the daughter of Stanley and Marion (Perrigo) Moore. She attended schools in Easton and Mars Hill, graduating from ACI in 1953. On December 31, 1955, she married her sweetheart, Robert Leroy Littlehale, and so began a journey that would last for nearly 59 years. They raised six children and Barbara Jean helped her husband in various family endeavors, including an egg farm and their 5 J’s Restaurant. She drove a school bus for SAD 40 for 20 years and diligently transported students safely and happily until health issues required her to retire. Barbara Jean will be remembered for her faith and trust in God and her love of the Truth of God, her sweet and gentle nature, and her unconditional love for her family. Barbara Jean’s doctors, nurses, caregivers, family and friends were always uplifted by her constant radiant smile.
