It is with great sadness that the family of the late Melissa Barter announces her passing at the age of 30 after courageously fighting metastatic breast cancer.
Melissa grew up in Grand Bank, NL and graduated from John Burke High School in 2008. She went on to complete Medical Office Administration in St. John’s, NL where she lived for ten years before moving back to her hometown of Grand Bank in 2019.
Melissa will forever be remembered by her husband and best friend, Christopher Barter, and their greatest joy in life, daughter Alexa; parents, Sheldon and Lisa Trimm; parents-in-law, Hughie and Marie Barter; brothers-in-law, Paul Barter (Angela Newport) and Shawn Barter (Tatum Barter); grandparents, Stanley & Phoebe Trimm and Robert & Margaret Henebury; nieces, Taylor Barter and Finley Barter; and a wide circle of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Melissa wanted to thank her wonderful medical team, including Dr. Kara Laing at the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre, Dr. Donna Rowlands and the nurses at the Chemotherapy Unit at the Burin Peninsula Health Care Centre for their treatment, compassion and friendship during her illness.
