LEWISTON — Barbara E. (Deming) Sessions, 69, of Lewiston, went to join our Lord on Saturday, Jan. 20, peacefully at her home.

She was born in Lewiston on Feb. 24, 1948, a daughter of the late Frank and Fern (Brennan) Deming. She grew up in the Oxford Hills area, attending local area schools.

For most of her caring life she worked as a housekeeper with approximately 12 years of it joyfully working for owner and founder of Hawaiian Tropical Suntan Care, Ron Rice. During this time she met many celebrities and shared her stories for years.

Barbara had a love of playing bingo at Loaves and Fishes in Lewiston with her daughters and friends. She enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Family meant everything to her. She took great pride in decorating her home with nautical décor. She was loved and cared for by many lifelong friends.

She is survived by her soulmate, Alfred Turbide, of 34 years of Daytona Beach, Fla.; two daughters, Nancy Sheffey and her husband, Bobby, of Ponce Inlet, Fla., and Kimberly Rose and her husband, Tom, of Turner; and her loving daughter-in-law, Teresa Sessions, of Oxford; as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She also leaves her sister, Marion Brackett, and her husband, Jeff, and two nephews, all of Oxford.

She was also the mother of the late Scott, Dwayne and Julie Sessions.
