Barb Tays
1944-2019
It is with great sadness that the family of Barbara Jean
Tays, age 75, announces her passing which occurred on Monday, May 20,
2019. Barb passed peacefully in her home, surrounded by her husband
and children. Born in Bloomfield, NB, on March 16, 1944, she was the
daughter of the late Elmer Chase.
Barb lived for
her family, especially her children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren. She enjoyed spending the summers camping and biking
with all of her family and friends. Barb and Clifford were proud
members of the roadhammers biking club and enjoyed every ride they
took together. She could often be found in the kitchen, as she
thoroughly enjoyed cooking and baking for her loved ones. One of her
favorite pastimes was gathering with family and friends to play radio
bingo. She loved country music, especially George Canyon, and would go
with her husband to many bluegrass festivals.
Barb is survived by her loving husband of 59 years, Clifford Tays;
daughters: Betty Bustin (Donnie) of Penobsquis, NB, Connie Roy
(Laurie) of Saint John, NB, and Terry Lewis (Robert) of
Saint John, NB; son James “Jim” Tays (Bonny Lynn) of

Cassie, Matt, Jillian, Collin and Dallas; nine great grandchildren;
sisters: Joyce Mitchell, Bonnie Marchbank (Curtis), and Diane Chase;
