Barb was known for her kind heart and ever-loving spirit, she would do absolutely anything for anyone, if you needed something sold, and Barb wanted it she would gladly take it off your hands, the cost didn’t matter to her, she was a collector, there wasn’t anything she didn’t have. Barb was an active member of the Middleton Legion Branch #1 and enjoyed spending time there with her partner, Rick as well as her friend’s playing darts on Friday nights. Barb took pleasure in playing bingo and heading out to karaoke night, she truly made the most of her time and did things that gave her a sense of joy, she never took anything for granted and knew just how lucky she was to be surrounded by those who loved her dearly.
During the summer, Barb could be found spending time with her family at the beautiful Fundy Trail Campground, by the bay making countless memories. Barb was proud of her family, especially her grandchildren, she only ever had good things to say about them. Barb adored spending evenings out for her famous coffee with her partner, Rick and her dog, Teddy who was her baby.
