On July 23, 2020 Pediatric nurse and passionate provider for the hungry, Barbara A. Alosi, 77, of Plymouth, died after a 4 year battle with ovarian cancer.

Born in Fall River, MA. to the late Edna and Joseph Durfee of Tiverton RI. Barbara attended St. Anne’s School of Nursing and became a registered nurse in 1964 then earned her BSN in 1994.

In 1955 her family moved to Tiverton RI where in the 6th grade she met the love of her life Brian on the school bus. They married in 1965 and moved to Plymouth in 1972.

Barbara was driven to feed the hungry.
