Passed away peacefully on February 5, 2017. Loving daughter of Waclawa and the late Jan Galica. Cherished and beloved wife to George. Dearest mother of Gregory (Tabetha) and Kathryn. Treasured sister of Andrew (Alina), and adored aunt of Alixandra (Joe), Anett, and Anton. Barbara will be greatly missed by many family and friends. A natural-born Teacher, Barbara was also an administrator with the Toronto Catholic School Board and a specialist in special education. Her teaching spread outside the classroom, where she taught family and friends how to live life to the fullest. Her smile was known to brighten up any room. Barbara’s incredible optimism was perhaps most highlighted in her final years, during which time she valiantly fought cancer with the help of the doctors and staff at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. A visitation will be held at The Jerrett Funeral Home, 1141 St. Clair Ave. W., (one block east of Dufferin) on Wednesday, February 8, 2017 from 6:00-9:00pm, as well as on Thursday, February 9 from 2:00-4:00pm & 6:00-9:00pm. A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Clare's Catholic Church, 1118 St. Clair Ave. W., on Friday, February 10, 2017 at 10:00am. Interment to follow at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery, 8361 Yonge St. If desired, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Barbara's honour to The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre or the Bethell Hospice in Inglewood.
"Keep Smiling!"
