MYERS,
Barbara
Anne (née
YAPP)
Peacefully, in Montreal after a courageous battle with cancer,
on Tuesday June 17, 2008. Born October 22, 1932 in London, England,
Barbara was one of four daughters born to the late Isidor and
the late Rebecca
YAPP.
Beloved wife of Michael
MYERS. Loving
mother and mother-in-law of David, Peter and Leslie, and Stephen.
Dear Nanna B to her grandchildren Keith and Eric. Predeceased
by her loving sisters Margaret, Cecilia and Roberta. Lovingly
remembered by her nieces, nephews, family and Friends. Barbara
grew up in England and married Michael after which they moved
to Montreal, Quebec in 1954. She always managed to balance the
active home life of raising her sons while playing an integral
part in the family business. Barbara will be fondly remembered
for her love of music, a soft heart for any animal and her enjoyment
of a riveting read. And while she could share a good laugh, Barbara
loved the challenge and stimulation of an intellectual conversation.
When she needed to get away, her long walks along the Maine coastline
were always special as this was her favorite place. Special thanks
to Natalie McGraw and her family who were there for Barbara throughout
her illness. Thank you also to the staff of the Lakeshore General
Hospital. Funeral service from Paperman and Sons, Montreal 3888 Jean
Talon W. on Sunday June 22 at 10 a.m. Burial at the King George
Association Cemetery, De La Savane. Shiva at Ruby Foos through
Sunday evening. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Barbara's
memory may be made to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, (514) 735-2711 or to Lakeshore General Hospital Foundation,
(514) 630-2225 ext. 2081.
