Barbara Gale Lazistan passed away on July 25, 2022 in Westfield, NJ. Barbara was a creative mind with a big heart. She loved to crochet and created numerous crochet groups both in person and virtual. Barbara loved animals, especially dogs. You could always find her searching for puppies online to find her next cute rescue. But the person she loved most of all was her grandson Martin Albert Lazistan. She absolutely adored Martin and would spend hours holding him in her arms as he napped, feeding him his favorite snacks, or playing with him on the carpet with a brand new toy she either made or bought for him. Surviving members of Barbara’s family include her grandson Martin, her son Milan Lazistan III, her daughter-in-law Ellen Sternberg, and Barbara’s husband Milan Lazistan Jr.
