Gillian Helen Fry Lewis Barnett Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Gillian Helen Fry Lewis Barnett (Louisville, Kentucky), who passed away on September 28, 2025, at the age of 86, leaving to mourn family and friends. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As Gillian departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Gillian may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Gillian leaves behind.
