May Barlow

May E. Barlow, 76, of Nottingham, PA, passed away peacefully at her home on Saturday, July 12, 2025. Born in Reading, PA, May was the daughter of the late James and Ruby Seese. She was the beloved wife of the late Raymond D. Barlow, who preceded her in death in 2013.

May dedicated over two decades of her life as a nursing assistant at Kendal-Crosslands Communities. Even after retirement, her compassionate nature led her to continue caring for elderly patients through private duty work.

She found joy in the simple pleasures of life - spending time at the Kennett Senior Center, visiting her sisters Ruth and Kathy, and enjoying trips to bingo and Delaware Park.

May is lovingly remembered by her five children: Ava Seese (Artie Richardson) of Spring City, PA; Raymond Barlow (Sherri) of Peach Botton, PA; Gina Barlow (Michael Greenplate) of Newark, DE; Chris Barlow of Oxford, PA; and Emma Jones (EJ) of Nottingham, PA. She was affectionately known as "Gaga" to her grandchildren: Elizabeth Keefer, Michael and Matthew Greenplate, and Travis (Cole) Jones, and her great grandchildren, Harrison and Ruby Keefer.

She is survived by her sisters, Gladys Salada, Ruth Dickens and Kathy Glenn (Dave); and her brothers, Daniel Seese and Barry Seese (Donna). May was preceded in death by her brothers, James Seese Jr., Kenneth Seese Sr., and Robert Seese.

May's caring spirit, sense of humor, and deep love for her family will be dearly missed by all who know her.

A Celebration of Life will be held on August 16, 2025 from 2-5 pm at Oakryn Hall, 569 Nottingham Road, Nottingham, PA 19362.
