February 22, 1938 - March 8, 2014

Sparrow, Barbara Butts., 76, of Vero Beach, FL, died Saturday, March 8, 2014, after a long and sad battle with Alzheimer 's disease. She is survived by her husband, Caleb, three daughters: Deborah Bauer, McLean, VA, Karen Wessel, St. Petersburg, FL and Catherine Sparrow, Tampa, FL. Four Grandchildren, Anthony (Tony) Caleb Bauer, McLean, VA; Katherine (Katy) Mary Bauer, St. Petersburg, FL; Karla Lynn Bolin, St. Petersburg; and Jacob Caleb Sparrow, Tampa, FL. Barbara was born in 1938 at Ft. Monroe, Hampton, VA. She graduated from Hampton High School Class of 1956. She married her high school sweetheart, Caleb G. “Kay” Sparrow in 1957. They lived in Denbigh (Newport News), VA. While her daughters were in school, Barbara enjoyed her time as an elementary school secretary. Kay and Barbara moved to Florida in 1981. Barbara helped Kay start his own business in the telecommunications industry in Vero Beach, FL. Barbara was an avid reader and an excellent seamstress who made beautiful handmade quilts. She most enjoyed spending time off at her peaceful and tranquil home on Vero Beach's barrier island. Barbara cherished any time she could spend with family and especially her grandchildren.
