WILLIAMS, Barbara Ann

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of Barbara Ann Williams, age 63. She passed away peacefully on October 7, 2017, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney. Born in Sydney Forks, NS, she was the daughter of Thomas James and Annie Rose (Peters) Walsh. Barb loved the simple things in life: family, friends, nature and a hot cup of tea. She was a loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend. Her door was always open to those who needed anything, even if just an attentive ear.

grandchildren, Jonathon, Cody, Sam, Jaxson, Daniel and Amelia; and great-grandson, Bryson. She is also survived by her siblings, Darlene (John) MacInnis, Howie Center, Faye (Ron) Dauphinee, Sackville, Glen (Debbie) Walsh, Westmount; also, many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
