Barbara L. Patton Hubbell

Barbara L. Patton Hubbell passed away on Sunday, November 8, 2026 at Hospice of Northwest Ohio in Perrysburg, surrounded by her loving family. She was 80 years old.

Barb was born to Ray L. and Ruth D. (Tomb) Patton. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend who found her greatest joy in the people she loved.

She is survived by her children, Robin (Eric) Messer, Julie (Jeff) Harris, and David (Jean) Hubbell; her grandchildren, Kate Bernyk, Zach (Courtney) Messer, Cameron (Haley) Harris, Taylor (Cody) Ferguson, Michael (Meredith) Hubbell, Emily Hubbell, Elizabeth Hubbell, and Kenny Hubbell; as well as eight great-grandchildren who brought her endless joy.

Barb retired from Toledo Public Schools, where she worked as an administrative assistant. Above all else, her life revolved around her family. She adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and cherished every opportunity to spend time with them. They were her greatest pride and joy.

Barb truly lived life to the fullest. She never met a stranger and could strike up a conversation with just about anyone. She loved people, enjoyed staying busy, and treasured the friendships she made throughout her life. Whether participating in two bowling leagues, enjoying one of her three card clubs, or meeting friends for breakfast or lunch, Barb was happiest when surrounded by good company and laughter. She had a gift for making connections and making people feel welcome, and her outgoing spirit will be fondly remembered by all who knew her.

Visitation will be held at Newcomer Funeral Home, 4752 Heatherdowns Blvd., Toledo, on November 13, 2026, from 1:00 - 6:00 pm, with funeral services beginning at 6:00 pm.
