Bathurst – It is with sadness that the
family of Mrs. Barbara Huard, 94, wife of the late Clifford Huard,
formerly of Bayshore Dr., Bathurst, announce her passing on Thursday,
November 30, 2016 at the Robert L. Knowles Veterans Unit, Bathurst.
Born in Condicote, England, she was the daughter
of the late Harry and Juliette (Hadde) Andrews.
Barbara served in Her Majesty’s Royal
Air Force in World War II. She met her husband who was
serving with the Carleton York Regiment in England. She
immigrated to Canada with infant daughter and arrived at Pier 21 in
Halifax in April 1945. Barbara was a life member and first
female president of the Herman J. Good, V.C. Br. 18, Royal Canadian
Legion, Bathurst and staunch supporter of the Robert L. Knowles
Veterans Unit. She worked tirelessly to help obtain an
extension to the Unit so that each veteran would enjoy a private
room. She ran the Bathurst SPCA shelter for many years and
will also be remembered as an avid fan of the former Bathurst
Papermaker Hockey team. She was an active member of the War
Bride’s Association and received many commendations from the
Royal Canadian Legion. It would be remiss not to mention her
long-time friend, Robert “Bob” Hodgins, who was devoted to
both Clifford and Barbara for over fifty
years.
She was predeceased by her husband of sixty three
years, Clifford and a son,
Barry.
She is survived by one daughter, Shirley Jamieson
(Bruce) of Bathurst.
One daughter-in-law, Gloria Huard of Oshawa, ON.
Grandmother to Debbie, Kim, Krista and
great-grandmother to Jayden, Marcus and Nicholas.
One sister, Julie (Roger) of England.
Several nieces and nephews.
She was also predeceased by several brothers and
one sister.
There will be no visitation at the Funeral Home.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Monday, December 5, 2016 at 11 a.m.
from the Sacred Heart Cathedral, Bathurst.
For anyone wishing to send tokens of sympathy, the
family would appreciate donations to the Robert L. Knowles Veterans
Unit or a favorite charity. Arrangements are in the care of Elhatton’s
Funeral Home (www.elhatton.com)
