She also leaves behind sisters, Elsie and Phyllis; and her brother Norm. Barbara was predeceased by her parents, Millie and Phillip Marshall; husband, Maurice; sister, Joan; and granddaughter, Andrea. Mum was born January 29, 1926 in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, England and emigrated to Canada with Dad in 1956. She served during the war in the Auxiliary Territorial Service in Great Britain from 1944-1946.
