Barbara "Barb/BooBoo" Ann (Neff) DeLattre

Barbara "Barb/BooBoo" DeLattre (Neff), 81, of Danville, IL passed away peacefully in her sleep at home surrounded by family on January 21, 2026.

Barb was born to Melvin and Velva Neff on June 12, 1944, in Danville, IL.  She married Charles DeLattre on March 4, 1961, and this March would have celebrated 65 years of marriage.  He survives.  

She worked 10 years as a shirring operator at Tee-Pak and 30 years as an in-home care provider.  She loved fishing and mushroom hunting and even in her later years, it was impossible to keep her away from the lake or the woods.  Barb also loved to spend time with and spoil her 4 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.  She will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and as a person who always put others before herself.

Barb was preceded in death by her parents, Melvin and Velva Neff; brothers, Melvin Neff and William Neff; and sisters, Betty Lee, and Diane Douglas.

She is survived by her loving husband, Charles DeLattre of Danville; son, Chuck (Krista) DeLattre of Darlington, IN; daughter, Angela (Kurt) Hammond of Augusta, SC; grandchildren, Annelise Hammond of Crawfordsville, IN, Madalyn DeLattre of Lakeland, FL, Caden Hammond of Tacoma, WA, and Mishaela Hammond of Henderson NV; great-grandchildren, Olivia Hunt and Killian Kilgore of Crawfordsville, IN; brothers, Larry (Becky) Neff of Veedersburg, IN and Robert (Betty) Neff of Danville, IL; and lifetime best friend, Betty Jean Leibach of Danville, IL.  Her friendship was greatly valued.

Per her wishes, no public service will be held.  Her remains will be laid to rest at Danville National Cemetery.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Salvation Army of Vermilion County, Danville, IL.
