Barbara was born in Burin and moved to St. John’s at the age of 18 to complete her registered nurse studies. There, she met the love of her life, Sam, who was a patient from “ on the Gander “. They married in 1949 and made Gander their home where they raised their family.
Barbara was a very practical, down – to – earth woman but at the same time, very creative and artistic. The subjects of her poems ranged from the love of her family, her faith, the weather, pets and everything in between.
Any hard times she faced were met with determination and quiet strength. Always more interested in knowing about how her family was doing, Barbara remained focused on others. Even through the past two years of COVID lockdowns and visiting restrictions, she stayed in touch through Facebook, Facetiming and texting.
Barbara’s beauty, strength, intelligence, kindness, humor and gentle ways will be cherished and remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
A special thanks to the staff of Golden Years Estates for taking care of her since December 2018.
