A long life, very well lived. We will always have fond memories of Barbara, such a lovely personality and cheeky sense of humour. Condolences to you all.
To all the Quinn Family, I am so sorry for your loss,. Very fond memories of Pacey Ave and then latterly at Annie Brydon. Such a good and caring friend to Mum. They were there for each other all through life's ups and downs, usually with a smile on their lips and a glass of wine in their hands.
Remember the good times @ Hawera Bowling Club over the years. Enjoyed the use of your mobility scooter found it very useful for the short time that I used it.

All Quinn family sorry for you loss. Condolences.
I am sorry to hear of your loss. Barbara was a lifelong friend of mums, from the time they met as new entrants with a strong bond that lasted until my mother´s passing. They shared many life experiences which continued into adulthood bringing with that weddings, children and responsibilities. That bond of friendship remained an important one and if their is a garden in paradise I´m sure the two friends will meet again.
We are saddened to learn of Barbara's passing. She was always such a lovely happy lady and we aways enjoyed her and Jack's company. Great memories.
