Barbara A. Kuhn Pistilli, 62, of Wayside died on Saturday, December 22nd in New York City. A graduate of Shore Regional High School and Villanova University, she received her degree in accounting and embarked on her career, but quickly switched to the marketing field.

She had a career of 40 years in the marketing and sales fields at Concurrent Computer Corp., Ericsson Mobile and Hatteras Press where she was the VP of Sales and Marketing.

Barbara was gracious, loving and kind. Affectionately known as “Lucy” from Charlie Brown, she was a problem solver with a soft touch. This connection with others led her to create long-lasting friendships with many she came to know over the years.

A girly girl by nature, Barbara loved everything about fashion and potions and took pride in her appearance. Fastidious, dignified and quietly witty, she enjoyed living in the moment, often with a wine glass in hand. Her hobbies included gardening, baking and exercising. Everyone who knew her will miss her extraordinary hugs.

Barbara is survived by her husband of 35 years, Louis Pistilli; her sisters and their husbands, Marylee and George Rahey and Cindy and Bob Polsen; her mother and father-in-law, Marie and John Pistilli; her sister-in-law and husband, Jayanne and Francis Tedesco and her three nephews and two nieces. She was pre-deceased by her parents Louise and George Kuhn.

Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday December 29th, at the Church of St. Catharine, 108 Middletown Road, Holmdel, NJ, at 9:15 am. To share a favorite memory or send a message of condolence please visit Barb’s page of tributes at www.holmdelfuneralhome.com

Lou and family, So sorry to hear of Barbara's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during your period of grief, which i'm sure will also be filled with wonderful memories and smiles here and there.

I was so saddened to hear of Barbs passing. She and I knew each other at Villanova and although we had lost touch, I was lucky enough to see her about 8 years ago at a reuinion of some of the girls from college. I was so happy to see her again! Barb, Beth, Mary Lynne and I were roommates our senior year in college and I have only fond memories of those days so long ago. Barb was one of the loveliest women I have ever known with a great laugh and a very big heart. She was so smart and mature. I remember when she and her husband started dating how they seemed destined to be together right from the start. My prayers are with her and all those she leaves behind. Heaven is brighter with her there.

My condolences to the family. Barb was one of my closest friends and one of the few people that really understood me. I am so sad to hear the news of her death. But I understand that her long struggle is now over and take comfort that she is at peace. I will miss her terribly as I continue on my path to change and live a happier life. My wake up was relatively recent and Barb was helping me to be courageous, to change and take the steps necessary to save my life. My heart aches that I will not attend the service but I am choosing not to return to NJ at this time as it should be easier for those attending. My place is to care for my health and take care of my son. I will be with you in spirit and you all will be in my thoughts and prayers. All my love, Leigh

Barbara was my gym buddy for many years. She became a supportive friend, always gave me great advice. We will all miss her, rest in peace Barb
