Barbara was an active member of Corpus Christi Parish. After raising her 5 sons, she became involved with the YMCA as a swimming instructor where she was able to share her amazing aquatic skill with the students of Canadore College. In retirement, Barbara enjoyed golfing, cross-country skiing and camping at Seguin’s Campground, she was a member with the Interlink Choir and shared those skills with children. Mom always had a positive outlook, would never sweat the small stuff that came her way and for this she will surely be missed.

The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at Waters Edge Care Community for the incredible care that was given to mom. They are truly a caring group of people.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the North Bay Regional Health Centre in memory of Barbara will be gratefully acknowledged by her family.
