Barbara RICHARDS Obituary

As a young girl, I remember her taking me shopping. She would ask what I liked, listen intently, and then surprise me later with the very thing I had admired. It was her quiet, generous way of showing she cared.
Every Christmas, Aunty Barbara´s exquisitely written cards would arrive, adorned with beautiful photographs of family and highlights from the year. In later years, they also featured her artwork, a testament to the creative talent she discovered later in life.
Over the years, she kept us well-stocked with books to read to our children, gently encouraging those peaceful bedtime moments and passing on her love of reading. Her Chitty Chitty Bang Bang painting hung proudly on the wall of our children´s bedroom.
With love, you will be missed.

A wonderful Aunt to Lorraine and myself. Have some fond memories of visiting her and Ray holidaying at Raumati and Hautepe. My family will always cherish the portrait she painted of me for my 80th birthday when she was ninety. A very talented lady, who should have taken up that art when she was much younger. Rest in peace.

Farewell my dearest friend Barbara, thank you for all your love and care for 45 years, you were the most adorable and cherished person to me, now may you rest in peace, be with your Ray again, Tom B.

A most wonderful Aunt, so caring and thoughtful. Forever remembered with love.
