Barri Lynn Glick, daughter of Arthur and Chicki Glick, sister to Todd Glick, passed
away unexpectedly on April 23, 2025, in Monticello, NY, the town where she was both born and ultimately returned after a life rich with exploration, faith, and deep connections.
Her sons, Elan and Noah along with her daughter-in-law Mai and Tonya, will
carry forward the love and lessons she imparted. She is proudly known to her
beautiful North Stars: Shea, Kai, and Rell, as “Savti.”
Barri grew up surrounded by the familiar rhythms of small-town life before setting out on a journey that would take her far beyond its borders. With little more than a backpack and a collection of books, she traveled through Europe—an experience that shaped her worldview and deepened her appreciation for culture and connection. Her travels eventually led her to Israel, where she pursued her dream.
Barri's life was marked by transformation and devotion. She embraced her
religion with passion and commitment, growing into it with full-hearted conviction.
Her spiritual journey became a cornerstone of her identity and guided much of
how she lived and loved. “Humans Inspiring Peaceful Positive Ideas Everywhere.”
Upon returning to the United States, Barri made her way back to Monticello—a
place that remained close to her heart throughout her life. There she met her
husband, Gil, a man who played an important role in helping raise her sons, Elan
and Noah. Together they created a home filled with adventure, laughter, and
enduring memories.
Barri had an extraordinary ability to connect with people from all walks of life. She could make friends easily and held them close in her heart. Though sometimes quick to judge at first glance, she always softened with time—welcoming others into her world with warmth and sincerity. Her compassion extended especially to those experiencing grief; she shared in their sorrow as if it were her own and offered unwavering support to family and friends in need.

Barri’s spirit endures in the hearts of all who knew her—through the adventures
she embraced, the faith she held dear, and the love she shared so freely.
Arthur, Maureen, Todd, Tara, Skylar, Camryn, Elan, Mai, Rell, Noah, Tonya,
Shea, & Kai.

“It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air”
