Obituary of Barbara Woytan

Barbara Ann Woytan, 79, a resident of the Town of Onondaga for most of her life, passed away peacefully at Upstate at Community General with her loving family by her side on Sunday, September 1, 2024.

Barbara worked for many years as a financial aid advisor at Onondaga Community College, where she made many lasting friendships, and retired in 2007. She was a communicant of Holy Family Church. In retirement Barbara enjoyed lunches and games with friends, reading, gardening, family gatherings and watching her granddaughter play sports. Barbara was an avid sports fan, especially anything SU, as well as the NY Giants & the NY Yankees. She was famous for her baking, especially her assortment of Christmas cookies at the holidays. She was kind, generous and thoughtful, and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
