Barbara Deyoe Rappaport

Barbara D. Rappaport, 75, loving wife and mother passed away Friday, May 18, 2018 surrounded by family. Born in Toledo, Ohio to the late Eldora and Nicklos Hatzidakis, Barbara was an active and vibrant member of the Tega Cay, SC community for nearly 16 years. When not playing mahjong, drinking tea in fancy teacups, volunteering at the food pantry, or welcoming new neighbors to community, she spent her free time hanging with her husband Dennis Rappaport or sending Facebook messages and snarky motherly advice to her children Shelley Rappaport of Annandale, VA and Shawn Rappaport of Columbus, Ohio.
Barbara was the eldest of eight siblings. She was the grandmother to five grandcats including Smokey and four who preceded her in death-Jack, Ms. Puss, Sofie, and Zoe who she showered with catnip and toys.
Barbara graduated in 1961 from Sylvania, Northview and worked as an Executive Assistant at Owens-Illinois. She chose to dedicate all her energy to her husband and kids as a housewife and mom where she will be remembered for superior organizing skills, an awesome mac and cheese, sense of humor, visiting her kids and buying home décor, and always saying, "glad to have you home for the holidays."
Donations may be sent to the American Cancer Society.
