It is with a heavy heart we announce the passing of our beautiful mother, Barbara Mary Greechan on October 21, 2016.  Barbara was the mother of 5 children, Heather, Martin, Dorothy, Barbara and Peter. Grandmother to 10 grandchildren Patrick, Kevin, Ryan, Rachel, Daniel, Elizabeth, Lachlan, Colin, Caitlin and Taylor.  Pre-deceased by her loving husband, Patrick Greechan.

Mum urged us on in our ambitions and stood by us with unfailing support.  Her grandchildren were her joy, always encouraging them to pursue their dreams.  Her grandchildren have fond memories of their grandmother. Painting pictures, learning to play bridge, searching for seashells and playing badminton.    They will all miss her very much.

Barbara was caring and devoted teacher and saw the potential in every child.  She had an unbiased approach and always encouraged each of her students to do their best no matter what their skills or abilities.

The family would like to recognize Mum’s dearest friend, Beverley.  Bev and Mum spent many good times antiquing, crafting, painting and sharing a lot of laughs.

The family would also like to thank the staff at York Care Centre Tower 2 for their amazing support and care of our Mother.

Barbara will be dearly missed by her children, grandchildren, friends, and the thousands of children whose lives she touched.

Arrangements are being made by Bishop’s Funeral Home.  On request of our Mother, a private ceremony will be held for family members only.  In honour of our Mother, a donation can be made to the children’s charity of your choice or the Alzheimer’s Society of New Brunswick or donate a book to your child’s school library.
