Barbara "Barbie" Ann Craft passed away at home unexpectedly on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 at the age of 68. 

Barbie was a lifelong resident of Cape May County. She was born on January 9,1958 in Cape May Courthouse to the late Robert and Patricia Craft. She spent many years in Wildwood and The Villas. 

Barbie was very dedicated to her large and ever expanding family. She is survived by her loving partner of many years, Bob. Her sisters Sandy and Joann, Bobby, Brooke and Sherri Ann. Her step-mother Robin. Her beloved children William "Billy" and his wife Gretchen, Sabrina and her partner Shane, Angela "Angie" and her husband Tom, and Christopher and his partner Amber. She absolutely adored being a Grandma to her many grandchildren; Gabrielle "Gabby" and her husband Cody, Xandra, Brooklynn, Taylor, Thomas, Ethan ,Isiah, Aubrie, Avery, Aynslee, Ashlynn, Emma, Mason, Dakota, Jacob, Leo, Blaze, Jade and Aidan who lived with her and she cared for daily. She was also blessed to be a great grandma to Stacey, Carter, Raelynn, and Paisley. As well as numerous nieces, nephews and extended family, her dearest dogs, and Jason who was like a son to her for many years. 

She was preceded in death by her sister Patricia "Patty", her ex husband William "Wild Bill", her partner Mike and her infant daughter Barbara Ann. 

Barbie was a light to all who crossed her path. She'd never met a stranger. Her kindness and generosity made everyone a friend. She always looked forward to the numerous family get togethers. Her family was her life. Always a beach girl at heart, even if she couldn't get there as much as she'd like. Other passions of hers were bingo and playing darts with her Fishing Club family. 

Her sudden passing will leave a hole in all who knew and loved her. Her laughter, smile and shining light will be deeply missed. 

A memorial service will be held at Evoy funeral home in North Cape May on Tuesday February, 24 2026 at 11AM with a vistation from 10AM until the time of service.   A celebration of her life will be held from 12-4 at the Villas Fishing Club.
