Whitecage – Barbara Ann Whitecage, age 96, of Jacksonville, Florida passed away on September 4, 2026. Barbara was born on July 26, 1930, in Torrington, Connecticut, to Vernon and Elizabeth.

Barbara was preceded in death by her husband, Vincent; son-in-law, Timothy; parents, Vernon and Elizabeth Noad; and siblings, Vernon, Jr., Betty and Phyllis.
Barbara leaves behind her children, William Whitecage and Wendy Waters; grandchildren, Timothy Ryan Waters and Joshua Kyle Waters; and siblings, William and Janet. She will be deeply missed by the many lives she touched in her 96 years.
