Barbara DRUCKER Obituary

Dear Family,
I'm so very sad to hear about Barbara's passing. Girls, your mother was my babysitter when I was 5 and we were reunited many years later when our mothers became best friends at Kensington Gardens. We then became fast friends and your mother was so caring and so dedicated to make our mothers' lives the best they could be in the nursing home. She helped me so much too. I just loved Barbara and she spoke so lovingly about her family. I loved hearing about her little granddaughters. Barbara was an amazing, caring, strong and beautiful friend and I will miss her dearly.

Dear Tom and Family: I am saddened to hear of the loss of your wife Barbara. I remember speaking with her many times during your time at Bata.
My sincere condolences.
Karen Rendle

We will miss Barbara and all the lovely chats we had out by her garden. Barbara and Tom, you gave us glimpses of another world so unfamiliar to us, and were always so interested in our work in our community too.

Dear Tom, Alexi, & Caroline.
My heart & my head is with all of you in this sad period of time.
In the words of Cesare Pavese "we do not remember days, we remember moments".
Barbara was both a committed colleague & a cherished friend during our "work-years" together.
And, the added roles of wife & mother were never overlooked.
I know you will all have unlimited memories to share, tell, & re-tell!
Please use these memories in the "moments" ahead.
With admiration & love for all of you. Anne Ellison

Dear Tom and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Barbara was a good friend and colleague to me, both at Toronto Metropolitan University and at The Gatehouse. My fondest memory is her and I is our shared laughter over the Vicar of Dibley series and the distinctly Church of England (Anglican) humour. I will miss her greatly.

Dearest Lexi and Caroline, I am so sorry to hear of your mom´s passing. I remember her fondly. My favourite memory is eating homemade tacos and sleeping over, while you mom doted on us, making everything special.
I will keep your mom, and your family in my prayers.
Sending my love to you all,
Jenn

This is sad news. I too joined the Young Progressive Conservatives at school (UofT) and met Barbara over the years at meetings, conventions and most memorably on the campaign trail for various candidates we supported. Always a pleasure to work with. I saw her last at dinner for Roy McMurtry "before Covid" where we sat together and had a great catch up. A real loss and my thoughts are with Tom and the whole family.

We are forever grateful to have been allowed ,to have shared in Barbara's deep love of her family, children and animals. Beautiful memories ,special times, we will carry in our hearts forever.
