McLEOD,
Barbara "
Barb"
Ellen (née
TINCKNELL)
On June 21, 2007, peacefully and surrounded by loved ones, after
a brave and courageous battle with cancer. Beloved wife of James
AKEROYD, of Waterloo. Cherished Mom of Heather
McLEOD and her
fiancé Stephen
RUTTAN, of Hamilton, and Jennifer
McLEOD and her
husband Michael
JESKE, of Kitchener. Treasured sister of Jane
and Bud FIELD of Paris, Ontario, Mary Anne and Bill

TINCKNELL, of Belleville, Ontario.
Adored daughter-in-law of Edith

of Wayne and Susan
STEVENS, of Waterloo. Special aunt to Chelsea

families. Special 'grammy' to Morgan daughter of Master Bdr James
and Richelle
AKEROYD of Chalk River, Ontario, stepdaughters Elizabeth

TAGALOG.
Dear
friend of Ivan and Sandra Anderson, Jim and Heather Murdock,
Barry and Kathy Kiggins, Dianne Aves, Betty Townshend, Trudie
Robbins, Brad and Ellen Luelo, Mandy and Jamie Badrian, Peter
and Elizabeth Moffat, Pat and John Weber, Conestogo, Alan and
Nicole Mockler, Montreal, Doctor William Akeroyd and family Vancouver
Dr's John and Christine Martin, Inverness, Scotland as well as
countless others. She will be deeply missed by her close Friends
at Queensmount Senior Public School, Kitchener and the many new
Friends she had made as she setup a second home with Jim in Saint
John, New Brunswick. The family would also like to thank the
Waterloo Community Care Access Centre team, Doctor Bob
HUNTER, Kitchener
and the doctors of the Hamilton Juravinski Cancer Centre for
their caring and support of Barb through her long journey. Barb
was predeceased by her first husband, Bill
McLEOD, and her parents,
Luke and Hope
TINCKNELL, of Paris, Ontario. Barb was first and
foremost a proud and loving mother. She was also a wonderful,
caring and generous wife, sibling, friend, and teacher. She was
born in Paris, Ontario, where she spent the entirety of her childhood.
She was an energetic child, who succeeded both at academics and
athletics. She attended teacher's college at McMaster University
and later returned to Guelph University to complete a degree
in English and theatre arts. She taught at several elementary
schools, took a leave to dedicate herself to parenting, and then
returned to Queensmount Senior Public School in the late 1980s.
Barb established herself as a remarkable teacher who inspired
both her students and her colleagues. She taught English and
math and directed several musical productions, while acting as
a supportive mentor and friend to her fellow staff. In recent
years, Barb was an avid fan of her daughter's careers, both scholastic
and athletic. She adored her 'boys', Cody and Spooky, and the
new addition of Oakley. She was a knowledgeable and dedicated
sports fan. She travelled frequently with Jim, to Western and
Eastern Canada, Boston, and Sanibel Island, Florida. Barb loved
visiting with her granddaughter, Morgan, spending time at her
cabin, gardening, bird watching, renovating and decorating her
home, riding her bicycle, going to movies, and visiting her favourite
people. As her health declined over the past year, Barb inspired
us all with her ability to embrace every day of her life, and
to find joy and humour during the most difficult of times. She
fought an incredibly long and hard battle, but continued to focus
only on the needs and lives of others. Her life was miraculous
in many ways; she will be cherished forever by those who were
blessed to share her life. Interment will be at Memory Gardens
followed by a private service in celebration of her life. Donations
in memory of Barbara (Barb) Ellen
McLEOD can be made to the Hamilton
Juravinski Cancer Centre, http://www.jccfoundation.on.ca/donations/online.shtml
or may be placed by calling the Henry Walser Funeral Home 519 749-8467.
