August of 1953. Teen years were spent in Montreal at
Macdonald High School and Macdonald College (McGill University) where
she gained a teaching diploma and a fiancé.
Jenny and Davis Mackie Barr were married June 1963 and
settled on a mixed farm in Vanleek Hill, Ontario. 1964 saw
the birth of David Patrick followed by Erica Fay in 1965.
The family moved to the Guelph area in 1968 and built a log house just
north of Acton and Rockwood, running a small horse farm.
Jenny started a career as a country columnist and feature writer with
the Acton Free Press expanding the job to several southern Ontario
weeklies. Later in the 1980’s when Mack and Jenny
had divorced, she spent the decade selling real estate and traveling
back and forth to Jamaica.
Settling back in Guelph in 1992 Jenny became a grandmother to
Shannon Fay Archer, Meaghan Danielle Barr (Zach McCulligh) and Adam
David Barr (Tanara Bowden), later joined by great grandson Logan
Joshua Archer.
