Barbara Louise Yeatman

     Barbara Louise Yeatman, age 88, of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, passed away on August 5, 2024, at Crosslands in Kennett Square, PA. She was the wife of the late C. James Yeatman with whom she shared 56 years of marriage. Born in Wilmington, DE, she was the daughter of the late George Kleitz and the late Katherine (Weidel) Kleitz. 

     Barbara had a contagious sense of humor and a unique ability to laugh at just about anything, especially at herself. She was never in a bad mood! She will be remembered for walking in the woods with her beloved dogs, traveling around the continent with her husband in their motorhome, baking holiday cookies with her grandchildren, making bread, woodworking, reading, playing and watching tennis, making mushroom soup, mushroom salad, and pickled mushrooms. Most of all, Barbara will be remembered for her kind spirit and her unconditional love for her family. 

     Barbara is survived by her daughter, Jennifer Yeatman; her sons, Steven Yeatman (Judy) and Jerry Yeatman (Judy); her grandchildren, Kari Yorkston (Joe), Jessica Yorkston (Jason), Jason Yeatman, Sara Peterson (Brandon), Emily Yeatman (Christel), Lucy Leedy (David), Jane Ganse (Conor), and Lydia Yeatman; and great-grandchildren, Jalen, Charlee, and Weston. Barbara is also survived by the Kleitz family from Delaware. In addition to her husband and her parents, she was predeceased by her brother, Jack Kleitz.
