Fly free Barb, my memories of our times spent together will be treasured. An amazing woman who cared for so many and was interested in all the families and connections. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Barbara,
You weren't just our neighbour, you were a friend, confidante and a fellow partaker of red-wine and coffee. We've had some wonderful times over the years and we will dearly miss all that you were.
Thank you for being our friend. You are, and always will be, simply the best.
To Barb's family, please know we are thinking of you all.
Sleep well Barb xxxx

Barbara was everyone's friend at our Motor Neurone Support Group meetings and she will be very sadly missed. Her kindness and sense of humour was often our saviour during some sad and difficult times and we extend sincere condolences to her family and friends. Rest in Peace Barb.

Like Wayvne I first met Barb at Moa-Nui when she took over my job as receptionist. We did have a lot of fun and when I shifted to NP I would call in to her unit and catchup on my way walking home. She was a very popular lady and I met many of her friends. RIP Hoops

Our deepest condolences to Barbara's Family from the Laurance Family.
Barbara had been a good friend of our families for over 70 years, firstly in Hawera, then Akl and finally in New Plymouth. I will miss our phone chats of late and her sense of humour.
