Barbara Ann "Toots" Strausbaugh, 87, of Chillicothe, passed away Sunday morning, November 17, 2024, surrounded by her loving family, following an extended illness.
She was born May 12, 1937, in Little Birch, West Virginia, daughter of the late Frank Freeman and Eloise (Moore) Farnham. On December 27, 2008, she married her beloved husband, Kenneth Strausbaugh, who survives.
