BARBARA JEAN MILLER (nee Beachli).
We are sad to share that the most incredible mother & grandma has passed away. Barbie (as so many knew her), passed peacefully at the age of 85 on Monday, November 28th. It is worth noting that her time of passing was 12:01am on the 28th; 6 years to the date that the woman who always loved to have the last word, became a resident of Fosterbrooke Long Term Care in Newcastle.
Barbara was always proud of her time spent in nursing and as a Supervisor for the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital. She was always willing to help anyone in need and often put everyone else ahead of herself. She was married only once to the late Pat Miller, but spent a lifetime with cherished partner, the late-great Robie Moore.
It would not be an understatement to say that the true love of Barb’s life was her only daughter, Catherine Miller Dickhoff. Later becoming even more exuberant to welcome son-in-law, Erik Dickhoff into the family. She was the most overjoyed & loving grandma to Elliott, Cecelia & Nigel.
Barb was born on May 6th, 1937 to John & Elizabeth Beachli. Survived by her brother John Beachli, and sisters Betty Borg & Margaret Brownson.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday December 9th at Newcastle Funeral Home. Located at 386 Mill St South in Newcastle. Visitation at 1:00pm, Service at 2:00pm. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to a local animal charity or to CAMH for their research on slowing the progression of dementia.
