MAXWELL, Barbara Joan (nee TURNER)  -
November 15, 1936 - July 4, 2024

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Barb Maxwell, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, who departed this world on July 4, 2024, at the age of 87.

Barb was the cornerstone of our family; a beacon of strength, love, and unwavering support.

Barb had a passion for life that touched everyone around her. She was the cherished wife of Rod, her partner and confidant for over 65 years. Together, they created a family full of love and laughter; raising their two daughters in a home where warmth and kindness flourished.

She taught us the importance of family, the joy of pursuing our passions, and the beauty of a life well-lived. Barb leaves behind her devoted husband, Rod Maxwell; her loving children, Alex Maxwell-Leech (Charles) and Pam Maxwell-Steele (Andrew); her four adored grandchildren, Hudson, James, Cecelia, and Piper; her sisters, Brenda Curliss and Lynda Ritchie; as well as a wide circle of dear friends and extended family. She will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.

A funeral service will be held at St. Andrew's United Church, 117 Bloor St. E., Toronto, at 10 a.m., on Wednesday, August 28th, with a reception to follow.

In lieu of flowers, the family appreciates donations in memory of Barbara Joan Maxwell to St. Michael's Foundation.
