It’s hard to believe that mom (BARB) passed away over 2 months ago. I’m grateful for everyone’s kindness and support during this difficult time. We can all feel very fortunate that there are so many great memories to recall that can conjure a daily smile. Looking forward to an informal gathering with friends and family on August 6, 2022 from 2pm to 4pm at our house (2219 Jack Cres. Innisfil, ON L9S2C7 ) to celebrate a life well lived. Bring on your favorites stories- I know there are many. Feel like sharing with everyone? Impromptu toasts and story-telling are encouraged.

Dear Ryan, Andrea and families. Hearing of Barb’s passing was such a shock. Barb was such a warm and good person. She was wonderful to Dad until his last day. Barb made all celebrations wonderful, but she made our Christmas’s extra special!! She introduced us to some of her wonderful and fun traditions. Like the Christmas pie – which she spent many days putting together, and as the family grew she included everyone. I will remember Barb’s smile and laughter. Love and hugs, Cathy.

I have many wonderful memories of Auntie Barb. Tanya and I loved having her in our lives growing up. From trips to the cottage when we were little, working the store in Palgrave and Tottenham, and stopping at the house on top of the hill as teenagers during snowstorms when we were too afraid to drive down the hill. I am grateful to have had Auntie Barb in my life growing up. Sending my deepest condolences and love. Forever in our hearts.

I was saddened to read of Barbs passing. We worked together many years ago and she helped me reconnect with a dear friend with whom I’d lost touch.
Sympathy to Ryan whom she loved dearly
Ann & Brian Mabee says
We are truly shocked by the passing of Barb. She was such an extraordinary woman with a huge heart of gold. I will miss our visits and conversations. She was a huge part of our lives. She was “grandma”to our 3 girls, not only a mother-in-law but a really great friend always.
Our condolences to all of you. Let us know if there is anything we can offer to make this time easier.
We loved her so much and will miss her beautiful soul.
Much love to you all.
Brian & Ann Mabee.
