We bid farewell to Barbara A. Trakas of Westwood, Massachusetts, whose journey of life gracefully concluded on June 12, 2025 at the age of 64. Barbara touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Barbara A. Trakas to pay them a last tribute.

As Barbara 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 Barbara may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Barbara leaves behind.

She was predeceased by: her husband Nicholas Trakas; and her parents, Robert Maughn and Mary Maughn. She is survived by: her children, John and Elizabeth; and her siblings, Eileen Ewing, Peggy Brown, Mary Frances Johnson and John Maughn. She is also survived by nephews as well as cousins, and many dear friends.
