Barbara A. Liebchen (Protzo) age 75 of Wayne passed Sunday, July 13, 2014, with her family at her side.
She was born and raised in Clifton, New Jersey. Barbara graduated from Clifton High School with the Class of 1957. Just after high school, Barbara attended and graduated from the Grace Downs Academy in New York City, a flight attendant school.
She married Jonny Liebchen in December of 1958. Barbara was blessed with four beautiful children and was a devoted homemaker. Later, she was a Van driver for the Wayne Board of Education.Her giving and selfless nature enabled her to be the perfect mom and grandma. She always put others needs before her own, was empathetic, and a great confidant.
As she walked to the car to go to the hospital she stopped short, her son Jonny asked if she needed a chair or something and she replied no…you have to go inside and give the Hermit Crabs some water…I promised to do that for Brooke (her Granddaughter). She wouldn’t go to the hospital until Jonny finished the chore. To her, she was just being a mom and grandma, but to everyone she touched, she was truly one in a million.
She loved her country and the men and women who serve it. Barbara had a generous, loving and giving heart and touched many. Her life was fulfilled by doing for others and unconditionally loving her children and grandchildren. They were her whole world.
Barbara was the loving mother of Jonny Liebchen of Clifton, Gary Liebchen and his wife Lydia of Hackensack, Richard “Ricky” Liebchen and his wife Carol of Wayne, and Lorelei “Lori” Bilello and her husband John of Odessa, FL; cherished grandmother of Torre Liebchen, Paige Liebchen, Brooke Liebchen, and Catherine Bilello; dear sister Lorraine Armelin of Saint Petersburg, FL, and the late John “Sonny” Protzo, Jean “Ginger” Flick, and Edward “Buddy” Protzo.
