BARBARA (BABS) BARBER Peacefully in her daughters arms, on October 16, 2003 at Victoria General Hospital, Babs passed away at the age of 82 years. Babs was born in London, England and served in the W.A.C. during the Second World War as a radio operator where she met and married Ivor "Bun" Barber. She immigrated to Canada in 1946 as a War Bride. After her retirement from Gambles in 1976 Babs and Bun became Snowbirds and spent their winters in Mesa, AZ. Babs was a gentle spirit that loved people and dogs. She was always knitting something and loved to travel, seeing new places and meeting new people. Babs is predeceased by her husband, Bun in 1996; her parents, sister Win and dear friend Kay. Babs will always be loved by her daughters, Karmin (Wendy), and Diane; granddaughter Danielle; sons-in-law, Harvey and Jake; her nieces and nephews in Winnipeg and England, and by close dear friends, Grace and Jack, Little, Doris, and Bud Wilson, Gladys Campbell and Eleanor, her life long friends and all her friends at 64 Nassau. The daughters would like to thank Sharon and the rest of the staff of the 5th floor at Victoria General Hospital.
