BARBARA MAY BARNES 1928 – 2021

Barnes married her husband, Don, in 1947. After their first 17 years of marriage, she had 12 children, so Don, known as the “Scarborough Egg Man” placed a birth notice in the Toronto Star announcing: “We sell them by the dozen and so we have them by the dozen.” Barnes spent her days looking after her family, and taught them to love nature and to look after each other. She enjoyed playing the piano and crafts. Barnes always greeted you with a smile, and lent a patient and sympathetic ear.

Barth travelled with family all over the world and lived and worked in seven countries on five continents before retiring, first in the Bahamas and, finally, in Florida. His passions were family, friends, pets, laughter, travel, fine cuisine and celebrating life. His generosity to everyone he knew was limitless, as was his love of a good story.
