Barbara Craig

Barbara Ann (Kemp) DeMoss Craig, 73, of Ellettsville, passed away in her sleep on Sunday, March 29, 2020. She was born on November 20, 1946, in Indianapolis, to the late Clarence and Bettie (Hammer) Kemp. Raised in Spencer and later Wilbur, Barbara graduated from Monrovia High School in 1965. After graduation, she married her classmate Larry DeMoss, Sr; to whom she was blessed to become the mother of three children within the ten years that they shared together. A RCA retiree, Barbara worked the night shift and fell in love with a coworker, John Craig; to whom she married in 1977 and settled into a new home in Ellettsville in 1980. Prematurely widowed, John passed in 1990 due to an accident while at work. Living the simple life, Barbara was dealt some unfortunate cards with health issues throughout her life, yet she made the most of and was very close with her mom and dad. Her hobbies included being in the comfort of her own home and working crossword puzzles, word searches and keeping in touch with old classmates and friends on Facebook. Her guilty pleasures included napping, sneaking sweets despite her diabetes, and shopping on the television. Known to be ready fifteen minutes after an event started, the kids would pick her up the night before to ensure she was present for the holidays. Spoiling herself and loved ones with items purchased through the television, she kept HSN on speed dial to where they frequently mailed her packages in her favorite color, Blue. A woman of faith, she was baptized when the kids were younger and may be remembered from the York Street Christian Church in Martinsville. Barbara loved spending time with the grandkids, as they were always bringing her up to speed with operating her phone and having her granddaughter paint her fingernails. Barbara’s sweet and kind presence will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by Her son, Larry Allan DeMoss, Jr., along with her brother, Tim Kemp.
