Barbara Jean Fox (nee Veno)
It is with great sorrow, the family announces the peaceful passing of Barbara Jean Fox surrounded by family members at Health Sciences North on February 6th, 2021 at the age of 88.
Beloved wife of 47 years to Clarence (predeceased 1997). Loving mother of Michael (Sandra) of Sudbury, Deborah (Norm Grillanda) of Azilda, Steve (Ann) of Coniston, Jim (Suzanne) of Los Angeles and Kevin (Connie) of Mississauga. Cherished grandmother of Lauren, Lindsay, Jessica, Craig, Kelly, Sarah, Katherine and Avery. Great-grandmother of Gavin, Lilah and Violet. Predeceased by parents Murray Sr. and Myra Veno. Survived by siblings Joyce Taylor of Gloucester, Phyllis Nixon of Paradise, NS, Charles Veno of Yarmouth, NS, John Veno of New Minas, NS, Anne Comeau of Metegan, NS, Joan Doucette of Elliott Lake. Predeceased by brothers Murray and Paul and sisters Vera, Doris, Margaret and Shirley.
Born on December 16, 1932 in Tusket, Nova Scotia and raised in Yarmouth, Barbara moved to Coniston with her husband Clarence in 1951 where they raised their family. Barbara will be remembered for her infectious laugh and sense of humour. She loved to reminisce and relate stories. She was also an avid card player and spent countless hours with family and friends playing cribbage and other games. She was a vocal and ardent supporter of her children at every track meet, hockey and baseball game she could attend. After the children had grown, she enjoyed working many years at Zellers, where because of her bubbly personality she was recruited on occasion to dress up in costumes to entertain the children. In her later years she enjoyed time spent gardening.
The family wish to thank the doctors and nurses on the 4th floor at HSN for their tender loving care.
