BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Craig Barnaby, my husband and friend, was the smartest, kindest man I have ever known. He loved a parable, anything chocolate, tennis, music, guitars, Clarence White, sailing our Catboats, cheeseburgers, Brooklyn Pizza, Giffords Ice Cream, Lakewood, his bands and band members, his family, his friends and me.
Barnaby passed peacefully, holding my hand, after a few challenging years, but only a few hours of rapid decline on July 10, 2025.
Left missing him forever are his sweetie, his wife Jeanne Frizzel; sisters, Cheryl (Dwight) Littlefield and Paula (Terry) Smith, brother Richie (Mary) Frizzel, nieces, nephews, great ones too, cousins and so many friends.
Craig is reunited with his parents Craig and Rebecca, his brother Chris and his in-laws Frank and Geraldine.
When we married, Craig moved to Brooklyn and that is where our life has been for 32 years. Now it’s time for me to bring my guy home to Bingham.
A graveside service will be held on August 19, 2025 at 11:30 AM , in Bingham Village Cemetery
Ours was a love story … I hope you find yours.
Our love story began and thrived at Lakewood.
