LAWLESS: Barbara Ann (nee Gunderson) peacefully at Cowichan District Hospital on Oct. 31st, 2011. Barbara was predeceased by father Harold, mother Doreen, brothers Fred and Eric, and stepfather Dave. Barb’s life was forever changed by the loss of her son Dan. She is survived by Trevor, her loving husband of 45 years, son David and granddaughters Carley and Katie. Barb will be missed very much by her sister Cookie (Rick) and by many relatives and friends.
Born on Dec.21st, 1947, Barbara was raised in the Saltair/Chemainus area; she worked initially as a hairdresser. After the family moved to Crofton in 1969, Barb spent many years as a Court Clerk in the Duncan Courthouse. She later became a secretary for SD#79 until her retirement from George Bonner Middle School.
Traveling, camping, curling, collecting antiques, interior decorating and dancing were among Barb’s passions until recent years. She would spend winter hours piecing together a jigsaw and was never without a novel or two beside her chair, regardless of the season.
The family would like to thank the staff (2S) at CDH for their care and support. There will be no service by Barb’s request. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Breast Cancer Society of Canada www.bcsc.ca or to the Kidney Foundation of Canada www.kidney.ca .
Barb, may you find peace and comfort in your ‘little log cabin in the woods’.
Arrangements under the direction of First Memorial Funeral Services, Duncan, BC.
