Barbara Ruth Pass

Reunited after a short separation with her beloved husband Edwin, Barbara is survived and will be missed by her daughter Anne (Kevin), granddaughter Katelyn, and her nieces and nephews Heather Dayman (Drew), Matthew Easter (Denise), Carol Ziemann and Mark Ziemann (Dana), and cousins Robert Easter (Mary), Beverly Evans, and Sandra Ferguson (David).

She was predeceased by her husband Edwin, parents Dr. Leonard Easter and Annis Easter (Rhodes), brother Jim Easter, sister-in law Judy Easter, brother in law Ken Ziemann and sister in law Marilyn.

A natural athlete, Barbara was a Cheerleader and actively involved in Track and Field at Dundas High School, curled with her father, and worked as a lifeguard in the summers at the Dundas Driving Park. At this park, she picked up the game of Tennis and was ultimately introduced to her husband Edwin at the Dundas Tennis Club.

A graduate of the Wellesley School of Nursing in 1957, Barbara was a dedicated nurse at Toronto General, Wellesley Hospital and Sick Children’s Hospital before relocating back to her hometown of Dundas where she initially worked with Dr. Hugh McCoy, and then Dr. Morris Levine in Hamilton while also occasionally assisting her father Dr. Easter in his dental practice. After retiring from nursing she continued as a dedicated caregiver, providing love and support to all those her knew her.

Barbara’s love of Art and Music will be remembered by many – if she wasn’t painting or sketching, she was playing her piano and would play nearly any tune by ear.

The family would like to thank the Nurses, PSW’s and staff at Southlake Residential Care Village in Newmarket for their kindness and care to Barbara for the past three years.

Visitation will be held on Friday, March 24th, 11am – 1pm with the Service immediately following at Marlatt’s Funeral Home, 615 Main Street East, Hamilton, at 1pm. Interment will occur following the service from 2:00 – 3:00pm at the Grove Cemetery, 129 York Road, Dundas, ON. Friends and Family will be welcomed back to Marlatt’s for a reception following the Interment.
