Barb A. Slator, 73, of Dover, passed away on Sunday, November 20, 2022, at Cleveland Clinic Mercy Medical Center in Canton. Born April 17, 1949, in Dennison, she was the last surviving child of the late Ernie Junior and June Marie (Marty) Reed, having been preceded in death by her siblings, Gloria L., Monty L., Mark A., and Kyle D.

She retired from the American Red Cross after a long career as a social worker, and she had also been active with the Boy Scouts of America’s Greater Cleveland Council for many years. In retirement, she joyfully indulged her passion for nature by traveling with her husband to National Parks across the country in their RV each summer.

On July 1, 2005, she wed Thomas J. Slator who survives her. She is also survived by five children, David R. Watson, II and his companion, Kimberly, Barbara June Watson, and her companion, Rob, Andrew P. Slator, Brystal S. (Slator) Walton and her husband, Chris, and Nathan E. Slator and his companion, Emily; four grandchildren, Dominic, Meah, Emma, and Charlie Watson; and nephews and nieces, Jason, Ryan, Cheyenne, and Marcus Reed, and Gabrielle Otis.

According to Barb’s wishes, cremation is planned without a public service. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the donor’s favorite charity in support of a National Park.
