| Notes |
- Barbara R. Tompkins
1923-2020
It is with sadness that the family of Barbara Tompkins, formerly of Stickney and Florenceville, announces her passing on June 5. For the past few years Barbara has been a resident of Paradise Villa, Douglas, N.B.
Barbara was born in West Glassville, the fourth daughter of Agnes E. (Simpson) and Gordon M. Laing. She will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Jean (Andrew) Martell and her son Clayton (Judy), plus nine grandchildren: Tim Martell, Duncan Martell, Heidi Helbrecht, Heather Russo, Nathan Tompkins, Troy Tompkins, Cassandra McParlan, Kimberly Inglis and Matthew Tompkins and several great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She is survived by her old sister Jennie Giberson. She was predeceased by her husband Howard and son Malcolm, her parents, plus four brothers and three sisters.
Barbara left home as a teenager to work in Bristol and Stickney. She and Howard were married on July 5, 1941. When Howard was discharged from the army in 1945 they took up residence in Stickney. They later purchased the Cheerio Motel and Dairy Bar in Florenceville and operated it for several years. After Howard’s passing, she moved to Fredericton.
Barbara kept an immaculate home and was an incredible cook. She loved to bake and her grandchildren were often the happy recipients of the dozens of cookies and other sweets she made over the years. She also enjoyed her flower garden, collecting antiques, and cross border shopping trips. She is especially remembered for her work ethic.
The family is appreciative of the compassionate care that Paradise Villa staff and management provided. A “special thank you” to Dr. Will Stymiest for his visits to Paradise Villa and follow-up phone calls regarding our mother’s health.
Flowers are gratefully declined. If desired, donations in her memory may be made to Hunter’s Cemetery or the Alzheimer Society of New Brunswick or a charity of your choosing.
Due to current Covid-19 restrictions, a private interment service has taken place and a memorial service will be held later.
L.R. Giberson Funeral Directors are in care of the arrangements. www.gibersonfuneraldirectors.ca (506) 392-1115
