Georgianna, "Honey", Mabel Barni December 15, 1923 to April 19, 2017 passed away
peacefully in her Lake Harmony, PA home surrounded by her daughter and friends.

Born in Tamaqua, Pa Honey attended the Tamaqua school district. During World War
II,she worked at the Atlas Powder Company. Later she went to beauty school and
established a styling salon business with her sister Mary.

Honey was first married to Blair Deem when she was 18. After Blair died in World
War II, she met John Barni at Lakewood and eventually married John on April 6th
1947. John and Honey resided in Shamokin for 20 years and later moved permanently

Honey loved her mountain surroundings where she enjoyed golfing, swimming,
horseback riding, skiing, lake activities, endless picnics on her dock with her
beloved Rottweilers, her family, and her many friends. A grand and generous lady,
she was never pretentious. We will miss her joyfulness and humor. She brought
happiness and love to so many.
