Obituary of Barbara Mayer

MAYER, Barbara Mary Born Monday, February 18, 1929. Died Monday, October 10, 2011. It is with great sadness that her family announces the death of Barbara, after a brief illness and quiet passing. Barbara came first to Canada from England in 1952 with her family and returned again in 1957 and worked for Dents and Thames & Hudson Publishing. She met her future husband, Bernard, in the front hall of the house they would happily live in for 42 years. Her life was filled with continued interest in Arts, Culture, Politics, Gardening and she was never without an opinion on many topics. Moueajoue, as she was fondly referred to within the family, will be missed and remembered by many close friends and forever by her daughter Nicola, son Paul, daughter-in-law Diana, grandson Matthew, and niece Astrid and her life-mate Jon. In keeping with Barbara's wishes a private funeral will be held. In her memory, donations may be made to The Toronto Botanical Garden, 777 Lawrence Avenue East, Toronto M3C 1P2.
