Very sorry to have read about Barb. Please accept our deepest condolences. She was a very good neighbour and a delightful friend
Beryl and Bud Kofman
Barbara always had such a wonderful zeal for life. It has ended far too soon. She will be missed.
Mark and I are very sorry to hear this news. We remember her lively presence at many family gatherings, and much farther back, I can picture her at her family's cottage, enjoying the lake and forest. May warm memories find a place in your hearts at this time.
Joe and I had the pleasure of lunching with Barb and Jim in July. Although she was little frail, we talked and joked very much like before. Barb married Jim (his mother was my godmother) and became part of our extended family. She was always gentle and kind to me. Given our two families busy lifestyles, we only saw each other a few times a year..and because of health issues, we never did get a chance to join Barb and Jim in Collingwood to go snowshoeing. Unfortunately a missed opportunity. She will be greatly missed: a wonderful teacher, wife, mother and friend.
I was blessed with being sister to Barbara for over 70 years.
She was loving, honest, and loyal.
Barbara adored her husband, Jim, from the minute she met him and she shared her feelings with me. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother (Nana).
She had such a passion for teaching and for the outdoors - oh, and for Scrabble, which we played together as often as possible.
She will forever be missed by myself and by many others.
Barbara "Till we meet again".
