Worked with Barb on the Mental Health Board. She was a wealth of information and continuing guidance! Wonderful sense of humour! My condolences to her family !

So sorry to hear of Barb’s passing . We worked together at Addiction Services and I will always remember her as a great social worker who was a strong advocate for her clients. My condolences to her family and friends. May your treasured memories bring you peace during this difficult time.

Barb. I will never forget you. I hope you are reunited with Louchie in Irish Vale and I will always remember the years we had with you. I hope you see my dad in heaven and thank you for all the special memories.

Vary sad to hear about Barbara . Regretfully  I had not been in touch for several years. We were co workers at Addiction Services for many years before I left that org. She was  a highly  professional intelligent,sensitive human who had a seiries of losses and serious illnesses which she faced with endurance and grace.  Rest in PEACE!

Sorry to learn of Barb's passing. Nice memories of her when we both did the decentralized BSW program in the 1980's. Admired her intelligence and unique take on people and situations. I still remember her answer to a question asked as part of a self-reflective exercise: If you were a car, what kind would you be? Answer: Mercedes.  My condolences to Barb's family.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I worked with Barbara for may years and  she was a very kind and compassionate lady. We had many laughs and her dedication to her clients goes without saying. Tom Blanchard

Billy and family;

Sad to hear of cousin Barbie's passing. We had so many good times  in Irish Vale and at family gatherings. Those are memories I will always cherish.

My sincere condolences to Barbara’s family and friends.  Barbara was a member of our Irish Vale group of cousins back in the days of our childhood.  Many fun times back then on those beautiful summer days.  Later, as an adult, Barbara would weave yarns, of our ancestor Elsbeth, which used to fascinate all of us as we sat around a fire on a dark night.  Fond memories indeed.  Farewell Barbara.  Rest in peace.

Cousin Barry

Sorry to hear of Barbie's passing. Time and distance has separated us but we had some good times as we were growing up. There was always laughter when any of the clan got together. Rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Barbara. I recall the wonderful summer days at Irish Vale swimming and sunbathing on the beach with my siblings and cousins, of which Barbara was one. Age differences didn’t matter, those days were filled with joy, laughter and fun! It was such a special place we referred to it as God’s country.
I am grateful for these shared moments and the Christmas get togethers when we were young.
When I think of Barbara these are the things I will remember.
