It was my privilege to work alongside Barbara as a volunteer at the City Hospital. She was always so kind and helpful to everyone she met over many years of dedicated service. Such good fun and great company, a wonderful lady. She will be sadly missed.
Rest in peace Barbara.

I’m writing this message on behalf of my mother Hilda Hardy.

We were very sorry to hear the sad news about Barbara. My mother has known Barbara for over 60 years. Over the last few years, my mother has had dementia and has become very confused. Barbara made a special effort to keep in touch with Hilda and phoned her every Sunday. We were very grateful for her support.

Rest in peace,

Hilda Hardy
