Born in London on September 13, 1930, she grew up in south London. She graduated from London Bible College and then enrolled in Victoria Hospital School of Nursing.
While in her last year, she married Ian and after graduating, moved with him to Toronto. After Ian was tragically killed in a traffic accident, she moved back to London to raise her children as a single mother. She was close friends with Jean (“Davey”) Marshall from nursing school and after Jean also died, of cancer, Barb and Don married each other.
Because of the current social distancing rules there will be no funeral or visitation. A private family interment service will be held at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, London.
