Ms. Barker's marriage to Henry Friedburger ended in a divorce.

She is survived by brothers David and Michael.

A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 9, at the Plymouth Meeting Friends Meetinghouse, 2150 Bethlehem Pike, Plymouth Meeting.

Donations for a bench dedicated in her memory that will be placed along the banks of the Wissahickon Creek, where she liked to walk, can be sent to the Jennifer Barker Bench Fund, c/o David Barker, 3330 Wiehle St., Philadelphia, PA 19099 . – WF
