Barbara Shiller
It is with profound sadness that the family of Barbara Shiller announces her recent passing peacefully in New York.
Daughter of the late Louis and Sylvia. Beloved wife of Joel Shiller for 53-years. Loving Mother and Mother-in-law of her daughter Louise and Howard, of her son Eric and Jamie, and cherished Grandmother of Samuel and Brooke.
Barbara dedicated her professional life to education. She was an accomplished educator, a consummate professional and special representative for the United Federation of Teachers specializing in retiree health and pension. Barbara lectured and trained throughout the United States and Puerto Rico lecturing about the “Ready or Not” program for retirees. Barbara provided assistance to teacher and retiree teacher members in making long term retirement and financial decisions. She was a strong personality and made a difference to so many people that she helped. Barbara was an independent woman who enjoyed the arts and theatre. As well, she adored good food and travelling.
But most of all, Barbara was proud of her family and loved her grandchildren Samuel and Brooke boasting about them to everyone she knew or met. She will be truly missed by all her family, relatives and friends.
A private graveside service will be held on December 9, 2020.
Donations in Barbara’s memory may be made care of the Jewish National Fund, Montreal 1-866-775-1563 or national@jnf.ca
