BIRD, Barbara (nee McLarty) August 5, 1927 – December 9, 2020.

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Barbara Ann on Wednesday December 9th at the age of 93 at Wyndham Manor in Oakville, Ontario. Barbara was born on August 5, 1927 in Oshawa. Barb was a lab technician and later owned her own interior decorating business. While she loved her careers, Barb's real passion was her family. Predeceased by her husband Grant of 66 years and her dear brother William (Bill) McLarty (June). She was a wonderful, loving Mom to her five children, Diana, Grant (late), Susan (Willmott), David (Lesley Ryan), Ian (late). Barb adored being 'Grandma' to Brian, Shannon, Kelly, Morgan and Lindsey. A special thank you to the staff at Wyndham Manor for their compassionate care during this difficult time. The family had a private burial and when it is safe to gather again, will hold a memorial in Barbara's honour. Donations in memory of Barbara to the Mental Health Association Ontario are welcome.
