Byron Donald Wood

On Monday, December 19, 2022, at Tuxedo Villa Personal Care Home in Winnipeg, Barney passed away with his family by his side, at the age of 90. Leaving to mourn his passing are his son Don (Kim), daughter Karen (Ray), and granddaughters Ashley and Megan. Barney was predeceased in 2011 by his wife of 54-years Katharine (Kas) (nee Stedman).

Barney was born and raised in Copper Cliff, Ontario where he started his career with Inco in 1950. Barney married Kas on September 28, 1957, and transferred to Thompson, Manitoba in 1960. Kas and Barney were some of the original pioneers of the new mining town. After 35-years of shift work in the mill, Barney retired from Inco in 1985 and relocated to Bobcaygeon, Ontario. In 2003, Barney and Kas made a final move to Winnipeg to be closer to family. Barney and Kas loved the outdoors, working in the yard, and travelling the world.

Thank you to all who cared for Barney during his many difficult years with dementia. As per his wishes, cremation has taken place and no service will be held. In sympathy if friends so wish, donations may be made in Barney’s memory to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba.
