Evelyn Barbano, grew up in South Philly

On November 16, 2025, surrounded by her loving family Evelyn Barbano peacefully entered heaven. Endearingly called Evie, was born on March 10, 1929 and grew up in South Philly to the late Ethel Frank (Koff) and the late Morriss Frank. Along side with her siblings the late Rita Frank and Florence Horwitz. 

Evelyn lit up every room she walked into; she had a way of making life feel lighter. She loved her bingo nights, the thrill of pulling the lever of the lucky 7s slots at the casinos, and was always ready to dance to her favorite band The Goodfellas. Her happiest place, though, was always in the middle of her family and friends. Evelyn didn’t just touch lives she changed them. To have known her was to feel loved, and to love her was one of life’s greatest gifts.

Evelyn was predeceased by her husband Michael Barbano. She is survived by her children, Lisa Sendler (Mike) and Doreen Spencer (Chalie); her nephew, Michael Horwitz; her most precious blessings, her grandchildren, Michael, Brandon, Danielle, Kristina, and Jessica; along with her great grandchildren Blake, Brody, and her great grandson on the way. 

Honoring Evelyn’s wishes services will be held privately.
