I knew Barb as a devoted mother and a committed parent council member at Robertson School. It was a pleasure to be her children's Grade 1 teacher and to get to know her for the helpful, caring and humorous individual she was when visiting and volunteering in our classroom. My condolences to Christopher, Derek, Erica and families.

We are so very sorry to learn of Barb's passing. To all of you who loved her and who knew her, we are wishing you comfort in recalling wonderful times and memories of her.

We met Barb many years ago at Bird Lake as part of our clan of wonderful neighbors/friends out there.

I also had opportunity to experience how much Barb enjoyed her school kids amd job when I was invited to share my experiences as a police officer and to meet her class of little ones. I can truly say, seeing her and those children, that she loved those kids and they equally loved her back.

May you Rest now. You are loved and missed by many.

My deepest condolences to Barb's children, grandchildren and other family members. I worked with Barb for many years at Robertson school. She was a wonderful friend who was thoughtful, giving, and was always there for you. I will miss her very much.

Rest in peace Barb.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.

I know how devoted Barbara was to her family. She was a loving mother, mother-in-law and grandmother. Her warmth and presence will be deeply missed. I hope you find comfort in the memories you shared with her and in knowing the positive impact she had on those around her.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

With sympathy,

I had the pleasure of knowing Barb all through our school years first at Robertson then Andrew Mynarski and finished at Sister. We again met back at Robertson as EAs, seemed like a full circle. She was a beautiful lady with a good soul she will be missed. Hugs to her children and grandbabies!!!

Barb was a wonderful friend who I have shared so much with over the years. I worked with her at Robertson school where we became good friends. For many years now, we've gotten together with a group of ladies from Robertson school. We always had a great time. Barb was a loyal friend who was thoughtful, giving and was always there for you in the fun times or when you needed some good advice. I'm so grateful we were friends. I'm going to miss her very much. To her family, I wish you peace and comfort during this difficult time. My deepest sympathy.

Rest in peace. I will always have fond memories of Barb.

I am so very happy to have known Barb. I worked with her for many years at Robertson School, where she was wonderful and caring with the children, parents and staff. I also got together with her and a group of Robertson ladies many times over the years. Barb was special in so many ways!

She had a quiet, kind of quirky sense of humour, an amazing ability to find the perfect gifts, was a great listener(and problem solver) and just a genuine and kind person. I am so honoured to have been her friend, and will miss her very much! My condolences to all.

Christopher, Derek and Erica, I was saddened to hear of your Mom's passing. She was truly a kind and gentle soul, beautiful inside and out. Treasure the memories of both your parents, they will always be in your heart and mind. Sincere Condolences - your former neighbour from Dalton St.

To the Lake and Van Landeghem family I am so sorry for your loss. I've known Barb since elementary school. In the last 15 to 20 years I've joined her and what I call my elementary school group for dinners and events. Barb and I found we had our grandkids in common as they were very close in age. She loved her grandkids and kids like crazy, they were the center of her universe. I've known her for 60 years and my heart has a hole in it without her. May she rest in peace.

To our Precious Barb's family:

I want to thank God, for giving me a wonderful friend, Barb. She was loving, gracious and extremely kind to everyone she met. I worked with her at Robertson School. We became close friends with sandy, Marilyn, Pam,Leslie, Brittany & Jocelyn and met monthly for dinner. She made us laugh, helped us with problems and was always there for us. She was wonderful and yes, I thank God for her. We were blessed to call her our friend.

Christopher, Derek, and Erica, our memories of your parents go way back to the times we spent visiting with you guys at the cabin, summer and winter. Our kids, Jen and Alex, still talk about the time your parents babysat for us when we had to attend a social in the city. Your parents only condition was that our kids spend the night. When we picked them up in the morning they were exstatic as they were able to eat Jeanne's cake before they went to bed and then again for breakfast. Jen met your mom last year at Jeanne's when she was behind her in line while picking up a cake for my 70th. I then contacted her on Facebook and got caught up a bit.

our condolences on your loss.

Barb went from a co-worker to being a treasured friend.  I was honoured to be a bridesmaid when she and Alan were married.  I have such great memories of our many good times together.  My sincere condolences to her children and grandchildren and other family members.  Rest in peace my friend.

So many memories, where to begin. Our mutual love of the Boston Bruins comes to mind. I'll miss her.

Barbara-Jean has been my friend for 63 years! We shared so many firsts throughout the years. School, Brownies, CGIT, Socials, we got married six months apart, we had our first babies two months apart and our second babies two months apart. When our kids were young we spent time together at Grand Marais every summer. I am so grateful for the many memories we made together. I will treasure the memories and I will always remember Barb with love.

My deepest condolences to Barb's children and grandchildren., her sister Brenda and brother Fred.

To my dear lifelong friend, I have no words, you were taken too soon. I treasure our childhood memories of growing up on Monreith St., attending Robertson School together, where we were both patrols. Then attending Andrew Mynarski where we were in the same home rooms, finally, and an all girls classes where we had so much fun. Then finally Sisler High School, where we got our first jobs at McDonalds, met the boys who we would marry, and be in each other's wedding parties. I was so fortunate to to attend our 50th High School Reunion together this June with other close friends, that was so special. Although life took us in different directions and we both got busy, anytime we would get together it was like we were never apart. I also treasure those summers spent with you at your family cottage at Bird Lake, your family was so generous to let me tag along. Too many memories to mention ...I will miss you Barb! My deepest sympathies to Barb's children , grandchildren, and to her sister Brenda, and husband Irving, and bother Fred and his wife. R.I.P. my friend.
