YJA0 Picozzi, the evening receptionist. "She was very happy. This was the only family she had. We all loved her. We watched what she ate and drank because she had diabetes." Sometimes people at the center would give Barba money for helping them and she would give it to her friend, Kathy Alburger, the center's bookkeeper, to hold for her.

When there was a birthday party or other event, Alburger would give Barba whatever money she needed. Barba trusted the center staff and felt safe there. No one there minded that she could not read. No one stared when she got frustrated when she tried to talk too fast and it came out gibberish. People simply stopped noticing that Barba was mildly retarded.

A few days ago, when they took Barba to the hospital, her parting words were, "Honey, make sure you have work for me when I come back." Kathy Alburger said Barba "was a real sweetheart; all she went through. She couldn't do enough for anybody." Now, hundreds of friends, many of them on fixed incomes, have done what they could for her, one last time. They got the money together and got extra help from the funeral director and the church. Malfeda, whatever her fortunes or misfortunes were in life, will leave it with the dignity her friends said she deserves. She is survived by her friends at the community center.

Services will be held at 10 a.m. tomorrow at the Stolfo Funeral Home, 2536 S. Broad St. Burial will be in Holy Cross Cemetery, Baily Road and Wycombe Avenue, Yeadon, Delaware County.

She was 67 and lived in South Philadelphia.

Almost every day for the past six years, Barba went to the community center at 2600 S. Broad St. She would go back to the clerical section and say to the first staff member she met, "Any work, honey?" She would busy herself doing stapling for Maryann White, who wrote the programs, or tearing off plastic wrap in the kitchen, where Cass Taylor made sandwiches. The center van that brought her in the morning would take her home by about 3:30 p.m. Everyone knew Barba.

She was a first-rate worker who never complained and though her tasks were simple ones: never made mistakes. The center was her whole life. When she walked through the door Randolph A. Durrant: Randolph Allan Durrant, a retired pharmacist who was active in church and fraternal organizations, died Sunday. He was 86 and lived in Mount Airy.

He closed the store in 1959 and became staff pharmacist at Metropolitan and St. Luke's Durrant hospitals, retiring in 1973. Originally from Gouyave, St. Johns Parish, Grenada, he came to the United States in 1925.

DEATHS Continued from Preceding her brown eyes got brighter. Her mother and father died when she was very young. A brother died in a nursing home two years ago, and that was the end of her immediate family. For several years she had lived with a woman known only as Emily. It was Emily who first brought Barba to the center to join with the Marconi Senior Citizens.

But about a year ago, Emily also died, and Barba took it hard. She lived in foster homes. But her real home was at the center where people knew her name and returned her smile and laughed when she'd say, "Hi sweetheart." A lot of her friends there affectionately called her "Babe." If there wasn't enough work at any given time, Barba "would take her knitting out of a little bag and knit scarves, nothing elaborate," said Rita Retired Pharmacist scholar while earning a degree in pharmacy at Temple University. Durrant belonged to the Philadelphia Seminar Group and Calvary Episcopal Church where he had served as a vestryman. His first wife, the former Adelaide Banks, died in 1985.

They were married 51 years. Survivors include his wife, the former Mary Irwin; two sons, Allan and Regan; and a sister, Cynthia Durrant. Services will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at Calvary Episcopal Church, 814 N. 41st where friends may call between 5:30 p.m.
