Barbara Ann Vetoulis, daughter of Barbara and James T. Crowley, born November 24th 1955 in the Bronx in New York City, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 5th after a courageous battle with stage 4 cancer. Barbara attended St. Brendan's Elementary School in The Bronx and graduated from Saint Barnabas high school in Woodlawn, NY. After staying at home to raise her three boys, Barbara decided to pursue her passion of caring for others and became a nurse. Barbara achieved her Associate of Applied Science and her Bachelor of Science Degrees in Nursing, graduating Summa Cum Laude. Barbara worked at Field Home Holy Comforter in Cortlandt Manor and later as a nurse manager at Phelps Memorial Hospital in Sleepy Hollow. Revered industry colleagues have commented how Barbara's leadership style was so impactful that they have never before known a leader more caring of their staff, and as a result, a staff more committed to their leader. She was adored by every person she worked with and met. Barbara’s hobbies and passions include music, HGTV, traveling, The Food Network, The New York Yankees, award shows, concerts, theater, playing board games and most of all, she cherished her time with her grandchildren and family. She truly believed “it's all about family.” Barbara’s family loved every minute spent with her. She had a unique way of including everyone and took genuine interest in every person she interacted with. Barbara is survived by her sons Michael Nicholas and Christopher James (Abigail) and William Alexander, grandchildren Lauren Katherine, Lukas Michael, Ava James and Levi Nicholas, sister Althea Crowley Becker (George), Thomas K. Crowley (Linda), Ms. Kelly Stine, numerous nieces and nephews and cousins. Barbara is predeceased by her parents, her husband Peter J. Vetoulis and her brother James T. Crowley.
