Obituary For Barbara McInnis
Barb and I met during the summer of 1977 at Atlantic Motorsport Park, and I thank Steve for that. Our paths crossed a few times before we started dating. We enjoyed being together and sharing our experiences and feelings. Spending time with each other at the cottage helped us understand how much we had going for us and ways we could share what might come next.
The deaths of Barb's father and brother made us realize how quickly things can change. Christmas in Florida and Germany, and a great July in France were just a few of the adventures we enjoyed. We shared special times with our neighborhood friends enjoying Christmas activities, BBQ's, and dips in the hot tub. Trips to the ball field and traveling dinners created special feelings to be remembered. Digby Pines offered beautiful scenery and wharf side meals, with time to replay our best golf holes together with some of our close friends. Cottage life gave us a chance to be involved in a variety of activities such as ball tournaments, mackerel fishing on the strait, and lobster boils at the camp. Everywhere Barb went she met a great group of women friends. The Beech Street girls, her WFS sisters, and the famous Pictou Island posse were each a source of fun and friendship for all involved. Swimming and walking on the beach, "Gunsmoke" Sunday morning and reading quietly were some of Barb's favorite times. There are many names on the list Barb loved and I hope you all realize the joy you brought her. In Barb's opinion, nothing topped family, and with the births of Ian and Corrie we had our miracles. Our extended family could fill a stadium. Barb knew everyone's name and had a special connection with each one, and then Violet was born. Barb shared Violet's fight for her life at the IWK, and her exciting recovery. Nothing made Barb happier than an overnight with Violet. She would prepare for days planning meals, activities, walks, and any other adventures she thought Violet would like, such as a trip to the taproom. She loved being with Violet in the "Bratcave" while playing the Wii, watching a movie, reading a book, or resting while Violet played on her tablet. They both entertained and cared deeply for each other.
I know her passing has made many people sad, and we thank Chrissy for being there for Barb. We talked in the hospital and agreed we were a lucky couple and we had a great dance. All of the time together she made loving fun. I love you MP from DP.
