Barb worked for many years as both a real estate agent and broker. She served two terms on the Board of Directors for the Winnipeg Real Estate Board. Barb enjoyed an active life, balanced between both work and play. In her younger years she played ringette and enjoyed golf at the Southwood Golf and Country Club. She enjoyed bowling and had a great passion for playing bridge. Barb was an active member with the St. Clements Church, where she took great pleasure in attending the services there. Her grandchildren were a tremendous source of joy to her. She enjoyed spending time with them and she was so looking forward to the birth of her newest grandchild. A memorial service in celebration of Barbs life will be held on Monday, July 8 at 11:00 a.m. in the St. Clements Anglican Church, with Rev. Canon Godfrey Mawejje officiating.
