Dear Barbie,
I feel very privileged to have been apart of your family. I always looked forward to spending time with you and will forever cherish those weekends spent with you and nanny ☕️🍰. We all miss you dearly, you will be kept forever in our hearts and minds, especially that laugh of yours.
Rest now in peace 🕊️
Love Sophie ♥️
Sophie McDonald November 3, 2024 Barb,
From the beginning to the end, you were there for me as I was for you. We shared a deep bond, experiencing all of life’s joys and challenges together. From raising children and grandchildren to shopping in Melbourne, racing around tennis tournaments and our regular coffee catch-ups, we created a wealth of invaluable memories. Moving forward life will be difficult to navigate without having you by my side, but I will try and be and strong as you were in your final weeks. I love and miss you so so much, my sister and my best friend.
Rest in peace Barb ♥️.
Marlene Riordan November 3, 2024 Dear Barb, a dearly loved sister of Frank, and beautiful sister in law and friend of Heather.
Much loved and adored auntie of Salli, Damien, Lissa and their families.
What wonderful memories we have of the times we have shared together.
Sleep peacefully now 🌹❤️🌹
Heather Quirk October 30, 2024 Barbie,
I love you and miss you more than you know. I cannot express how sad I am that you are gone but I am so grateful of every single memory I have of you. You were more than an Aunty to me, you were a best friend. I will miss our near daily FaceTime calls so you could see how I was going, and more importantly, if I was feeding my dog!!! Zeus was an additional grandchild to you 🤣, and he will miss you so deeply.
You were so very strong and fearless in your final months; an inspiration.
It is time for a well earned rest now, Barbie. Rest easy, I love you. ❤️ 🐩
“See ya later, darls!”
Emily and Zeus 🐩 October 29, 2024 Oh Barbie. We loved you so much. You were an ever present source of unconditional love and were such a support when I had Maggie. Your advice was always welcomed as were your visits. Family gatherings just won’t be the same without you and I’m so glad Maggie got to know you, even just for a short amount of time.
We love you and are so sad that you’re gone.
Our deepest sympathies to Bill, Sarah, Stephen, Sophia and Will. She loved you all so much.
Hannah, Michael and Maggie October 29, 2024 Barb, you’ve given us a lifetime of beautiful memories to cherish. You were the life of every party and we’ll forever remember that laugh.
Thinking of Sarah, Stephen, Will and Sophia and families.
RIP Barb💗
Peter, Kate, Emily, Sophie and Connor McDonald.
Kate McDonald October 28, 2024 My sympathy to all Barbara’s Family. You will miss Barbara greatly. “May Perpetual Light Shine Upon her. Father Lawrie.

Loved aunt of Jan, Sam, Hannah and family
I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun;
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.
