Don and I always loved you Aunt Barb.  You were a welcoming hostess; and a great cook, baker and conversationalist.  We miss you, though our loss is heaven's gain.
On the plus side, you no longer have to be concerned about Don breaking any more of your antique dishes, as he did long ago when broke one of your dessert dishes; which Grammie McKay used to serve green gage plums!

Nana may have been taken from us, but nothing can ever take her impact on us away. It was a pleasure to be able to meet and know my great grandmother. I will never forget our trip to New Brunswick and how proud she was to show us where she grew up. The memories of spending time with Nana listening to her stories and enjoying her delicious cooking are priceless.  Nana was a pious, loving, caring, and patient person. We love and miss you Nana. 




I was lucky to have shared so many great memories with my Nana. One of my favorites was visiting her and Papa in Florida when I was younger. There were stray cats someone in the condo complex left food out for.. Each afternoon we walked around the floor to try and find them. After a few days of trying, we turned the corner and finally the cats were there.. We were both so happy, I will miss moments like that. Love and miss you forever Nana❤️



My memories are endless.  We were so blessed to have Nana in our lives. She was an energetic, loving, thoughtful and caring person.  She taught me so many things and I enjoyed spending every minute with her.  From the daily scriptures over cream of rice, to her teaching me to make homemade baked beans, rolls or birthday cake, to watching her brush her teeth and get ready for bed and our trips to Canada and California ... She will forever be in our hearts for being the sweetest Grandmother and Great Grandmother.  Thank you for a lifetime of memories Nana!! We love you!! 💕💕

To Uncle Pete, Brock, Tanda, Spouses and Grandchildren
Aunt Barb was always special to me as she was to my Mama, as I am her namesake, Barbie Townsend Raudenbush.  I have so many wonderful memories growing up and visiting with  Barb and Uncle Pete.  The first trip ever out of Maine for me was traveling to Connecticut to visit with her and family when I was around 10.  Many times over the years Aunt Barb would bring Tanda and Brock to our home in Mars Hill, Maine.  I can hear her now running up and down the stairs to tend to her children...bringing that last drink of water or tissues to blow their nose.  She was a little dynamo of energy! She also was a great Cook!!  So many fond memories on the McKay farm in Canada, down to Oak Mountain with extended family or in later years seeing she and Uncle Pete in Connecticut, their home in Cape Coral or the condo in Fort Myers, FL.  Now my dearest Aunt Barb, you can say 
"It is Well With My Soul" and you are presently with our Savior, Jesus Christ--  Hallelujah!

Barb is my Aunt. My Mom is Gerry.(McKay) Townsend. I have known Barb since the early 50's starting on the McKay farm in Florenceville New Brunswick. Even though we never lived geographically close I always felt close to the Petersons. Whenever we were together Aunt Barb was always on the go and her energy was contagious. We always laughed and had a great time. Later when I married Sheila we were blessed to be able to spend time with her (and Pete). She was a fine Christian. In later years we would talk on the phone on occasion. One never had to wonder where she stood on an issue and I always liked that.
She,Mom and many family members are having a great time in the presence of the LORD. The promise of eternal life with JESUS  certainly gives us hope in times like this. Our thoughts and prayers are with  the family at time of sorrow.

I have very fond memories of Aunt Barbara. She suggested my Mom call me Darryl as she knew the name from some guy she met and really liked the name. Barb was a wonderful person  and never walked a step in her life cause she always ran. I and then my family visited several times and always felt welcome and were well fed. She knew who Bonnie and I were up about 2 years when we would visit her in Fort Myers. RIP Aunt Barb, I will never forget you. God Bless. 

Uncle Pete, Tanda, Brock and family, 

I’m sorry to hear about your loss. Aunt Barbara was a wonderful lady.  

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. 

Love,
Amy, Jonathan, Nathan and William xo

Barbara always put her family first. She was born in Canada and moved with her husband to a series of jobs, eventually living in Connecticut. She worked at Friendly's restaurant, while raising her children Tanda and Brock. She was a great cook and strong in her faith. People were surprised when they learned she and rode on a motorcycle with her husband "Pete" for many years. She enjoyed travel, especially going back to Canada and going on ocean cruises.
She will be missed by her family and friends.

She was a loving Mother, grandmother and great grandmother.  
She loved God and our Country. 
Alzheimer’s took her from us first, and now we lose her again ,  but this time to the Loving arms of God. Rest In Peace Mom. We will always love and miss you.
