Barbara M. (Mishko) Romig

Barbara Mary (Mishko) Romig was born on October 26, 1940, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and passed away on October 27, 2025, just one day after celebrating her 85th birthday surrounded by family and friends.

Barbara was the devoted wife of the late Randall R. Romig, with whom she spent 46 cherished years of marriage at the time of his passing in 2005. Barbara was a loving mother to Jeffrey (Deb) Romig and Gregory (Colleen) Romig, and a proud grandmother to Kristi, Keith, Garrett, and Todd. She was also blessed with seven great-grandchildren: Haileigh, David, Jayde, Ethan, Zayden, Werner, and Otto. She is survived by her brother Paul (Barbara) Mishko, Jr. and was preceded in death by her mother, Ruth Reph Mishko Anthony, her father, Paul Mishko, Sr., her stepfather, Russell Anthony, Sr., and her brothers, William Anthony and Russell Anthony, Jr.

Barbara began working as a seamstress at the age of 13, dedicating herself to her craft with skill and perseverance throughout her life at Garment Inc. She was a member of The Order of the Eastern Star for more than 50 years. In retirement, she found joy in life’s simple pleasures like completing large jigsaw puzzles and word finds, relaxing with her dogs, and enjoying animal shows. She loved the routine of an early bedtime, keeping a tidy home, snacking on sweet treats, and would go to great lengths to avoid parallel parking anywhere she drove.

Barbara’s legacy endures in the hearts of her family and friends, who will forever remember her unwavering love for Randy and her sons, and her deeply empathetic spirit. She will be dearly missed.
