Big Goodbyes
Big Mama’s Kitchen is a North Omaha home and haven, and the proprietor was more than just a business owner. She was a cook, a teacher, a friend, and a mama to anyone who would sit at her table. On Friday, March 30, Big Mama passed away at the age of 76. An announcement made by the family states that the restaurant will be closed until Friday, giving the family time to make arrangements and attend their Matriarch’s wake and funeral services. For information about attending the family, follow the restaurant on Facebook.
The family plans to continue Patricia “Big Mama” Barron’s legacy by maintaining her vision, and keeping her food on the table for generations. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in her honor to Metropolitan Community College Foundation, P.O. Box 3777, Omaha, NE 68103-0777 to benefit the Patricia “Big Mama” Barron Culinary Scholarship. Donations may also be made online Here
