Nana as she became known (with Papa) had a huge influence on their grandchildren.

Barbara was involved with Oshawa Seniors Centre on John St. and for several years with Paul, they managed the bingo events.

Barbara was an accomplished tailor and worked from home providing stunning one-of-a-kind garments for a selection of clients (including her daughter). Barbara loved to cook for the family and everyone’s birthday was unique and celebrated every year. The dinner table was set with her beautiful china and silverware.

This was normal every Sunday evening and she took immense pride in it. Barbara was a resident at Thorntonview Long Term Care in Oshawa for the previous 6 years. The family want to thank the staff for all they did for Barbara during her residency there.

A Memorial Service will be held at the DeStefano Funeral Home, 1289 Keith Ross Drive in Oshawa, on Friday Febuary 16th at 11:00am. Interment will follow in Whitby.
