March 28, 1944 – January 27, 2025
Barbara Ann (Lick) Starr, of Greenwood, Indiana passed away on Monday, January 27, 2025, at the age of 80 at Community South Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Born in Waco, Texas on March 28, 1944, Barbara was the eldest of four children of the late Robert and Marian (McLaughlin) Lick. Her family moved to Kenmore, New York, where she spent her childhood. She graduated from Kenmore West High School before continuing her education at Mercyhurst College, Erie, Pennsylvania. She graduated from Bryant & Stratton Business Institute, Buffalo, New York.
With her family, she relocated several times in her young adult years before finally settling in Greenwood, Indiana where she raised her children. She worked in various fields over the years including legal administration, education, childcare and retail but the position she cherished the most was being a mother and grandmother.
Barbara is survived by her three loving children: Roger (Carolynn) Starr Jr., Audrey (Brian) Nelson, and Aaron Starr. She was a devoted grandmother to Aidan Starr, Hannah Nelson, and Brady Nelson. She is also survived by her brother, Robert (Susan) Lick Jr., and her sister, Linda (Malcolm) Peckler, as well as many cherished nieces and nephews. Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Marian Lick; and her brother, William “Billy” Lick.
Barbara will be remembered for her kindness, quirky sense of humor and unwavering love for her family.

So many fun times shared with Barb years ago when we lived across the street from her on Restin Road. Line and hugs to all of the family.
I only met Barbara once at a family gathering, but it was an instant impression that here was someone who was warm, friendly and fun. My sincere condolences to her family for their loss of this lovely person.
Barbara was my Aunt and truly cherished.
I remember as a child she would come over to visit with my cousins Roger , Aaron and Audrey.
At home with my parents there were seven of us;
and she would get us all laughing and her beautiful smile would light up every room she walked through. Aunt Barb was sweet, kind and witty such a pleasure to have around.
I will miss her .❤️
