Barb’s also survived by her “Partner in crime” and “gallivanting”, her good friend Helen Jonathan.
Barb was born and raised in Dryden, Ontario the eldest daughter of Cyril and Elsie Wright (Nystrom). As a young child she loved spending her time in Wabigoon with her Nana and being a sidekick for her Uncle Helgie Nystrom enjoying hunting and trapping. Barb is survived by many friends and family throughout Northwestern Ontario.

She went on to work as an RNA in Port Arthur ON, Fort Q’Appelle SK, Dawson Creek BC, before her position at the Lady Willingdon Hospital in Ohsweken ON - Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. Barb fell in love with Six Nations and soon fell in love with her husband Duff.

Sincere condolences to Rob, Lisa and their families. Barb was always ready for a good gab session whenever our paths would cross. Our friendship started out when I was just a kid….I would go to work with my mom and then Barb would bring me back home when she left her shift. Later when Rob and Lisa came along I became the babysitter…literally a lifetime of memories. She would alway keep me updated on highlights whether it was a new job or a new grandchild - she was always beaming when she shared. Please take comfort in knowing she was so proud of her kids and grandbabies. May she Rest In Peace.

My condolences to Barbs Family. I had known her all my life, she was a super nice lady and she was always quick to ask about my mom and she loved seeing my new babies when they were born. She loved their names when I told her. She will be missed.

My sincere condolences to Rob, Lisa and families. Your Mom was my next door neighbour, we didn’t visit that often but when we did we had a good gab session. She was always cheerful and witty with a great sense of humour. I will miss my neighbour. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sincere condolences to Rob & Lisa and families from Dodie (Russell) Patterson. Your mom Barb and I worked together at Lady Willingdon Hospital and spent many social outings too as her and Duff were connecting and then marrying. A warm and wonderful lady always. It was my pleasure to have her as a old friend all these years.
