BARBER, Lillian May (Cap) - Passed peacefully, on January 25, 2021, at the age of 85.
Dear wife to Thomas E. Barber of 62 years.
Loving mother to William (Linda) Barber, Shelley (Peter) Cormier, Thomas (Gita) Barber, Ann (Jeff) Scarlett.
Cherished grandmother to Govin, Trisha, Nandi, Melissa, Heather, Bram, Emily, Lily, Aaron, Bethany, Calla and Sophie.
Adored great-grandmother to Archer and Colton.
Beloved sister to Betty Jane Moore and Mary-Jo Whaley (deceased).
Cap and Tom have lived in Bolton since 1959, after graduating in 1957. Cap worked as a registered nurse in a local nursing home until she embarked on a journey as a business owner, purchasing Bolton Florist.
Cap was actively involved in the community. She was a volunteer with Bolton Ambulance, President of the Bolton Skating Club, and taught Sunday School at Christ Church. Cap worked with Rebekah’s providing free mobility equipment to those in need. In addition, she knitted hundreds of mittens that were donated to Northern Communities. Cap lead the Bolton Florist softball team through many years of merriment.
Together, Tom and Cap retired and began spending most of their years at Crowe Lake. We are comforted by the fact she lived a memorable and happy life. She was loved by all who knew her and will be deeply missed.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Donations in memory of Lillian Barber can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
