Barbara Maloney Obituary
With her loving family by her side, Barbara Joan Maloney passed away peacefully at Rotary Hospice on April 2, 2025. Born in Stratford, Ontario, on August 15, 1941, she was the cherished daughter of the late Timothy and Emily (Cubberly) Connelly.
Barb was a kind, thoughtful, and spirited woman, known for her warmth and sense of fun. Growing up in Stratford, she spent her childhood swimming at the Lions Pool and figure skating at the Allman Arena. At just 16, she began working at the Golden Bamboo Restaurant. She later worked as a full-time secretary at Fram before pausing her career to focus on raising her family. In her later years, she returned to office administration at Cooper-Standard.
Barb was the beloved wife of the late Michael Maloney, who passed away on November 13, 2016. She was a devoted mother to her four daughters: Liz Yundt (Fred), Lori Maloney, Lynda Maloney (Joe Saunders), and Molly Maloney (William Brown). She took immense pride in being a caring grandmother to Annalise (Jeff), John (Alicia), Joe, Amelie, Owen, Quinlin, Madeline, and Sarah (Shelby), as well as a great-grandmother to Jude.
She is survived by her loving sisters, Donna Crowley and Jean Turner (Ron), and will be fondly remembered by her sisters-in-law Eleanor Maloney and Marion Kelly, along with many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her sister, Jacqueline Connelly, and in-laws Bea Fadden (Red), Steve Maloney (Regina), Don Crowley, Ray Maloney, Bill Kelly & Joe Maloney.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of West Perth Village and Rotary Hospice for their compassionate care. A special thank you to Lynn Simpson for her unwavering love, support, and advocacy for Barb.
