Bari Ruth Vanderveer's Obituary
Bari Ruth Vanderveer, 72, passed away in her home on the night of December 21, 2025. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Otis and Dolly Clouse, and husband Paul J. Vanderveer.
Bari leaves behind a family who treasured her deeply, Daughters Amy Worrell, Delana (Andrew) Gilmore, and Son-in-law Dionta Worrell. She also found a lot of joy through her five grandchildren, Cheyenne, Evan, Drew, Brodie, and Autumn, each of whom will carry a piece of her spirit, lessons, and strength forward into the world. Bari was also survived by siblings Jeff (Martha) Clouse, Charlie (Tammy) Clouse, Cora (Rick) Bivens as well as many nieces and nephews.
Bari will be remembered for her strength, her resilience, and the quiet way she made those around her feel a sense of joy. Her presence was steady, her love enduring, and her legacy will continue to live on through the family she nurtured.
We will be celebrating her life on Saturday, January 24, 2026 at 2pm at Grove City United Methodist Church, 2650 Columbus Street, Grove City, Ohio 43123.
