Barbara Ann (Burm) Hart, age 90, of Franklin, MA, passed away peacefully on July 12, 2024, surrounded by her children. She was born on October 5, 1933, in Boston, MA, to Joseph F. Burm and Ella J. (Fitzgerald) Burm. Barbara grew up in South Boston and was a 1951 graduate of Mission High School.
Barbara was a devoted mother, wife, sister, aunt and friend. She loved to be busy and you would not find her sitting still for very long. Always cooking for a crowd, she hosted many family gatherings and was famous for her homemade apple pie. She loved to travel and enjoyed many vacations to various destinations. Barbara was a big fan of the Noel Henry Show Band and loved Ceili dancing to her favorite Irish tunes. She was always first to a party and last to leave. Most of all, Barbara loved her family. Her love and support for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren was unconditional. “Grammy” will be missed by all that knew her.
She is survived by her children John P. Hart Jr. of Attleboro, Maureen F. Hart and her partner James Westine of Milford, NH, Richard J. Hart of Franklin and Kevin M. Hart of Blackstone. She is also survived by her brother Gerard L. Burm and his wife Lorraine (Curran) Burm of Braintree, 6 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Barbara was predeceased by her husband, John P. Hart, her brothers Joseph F. Burm, Richard F. Burm and her sisters Jeanne M. Rauseo and Ella F. Burm. She was also predeceased by her daughter-in-laws, Cynthia (Yurt) Hart and Lisa (Gronroos) Hagopian.
