Born on October 15, 1934 in Birch Grove, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, the daughter of the late Maude (Pickford)(Janes) and William Wareham Sr.  Barbara served her country in the RCAF (1953-58) as a Fighter Control Operator and later with  the Department of National Defence.   She along with her husband Carl became members of the Canadian Legion Br280  and were very  involved members.  Barbara was also a member of the Ladies Auxillary where she served many executive positions including six years as President.    She was always willing to help others and most appreciative of kindnesses shown to her.  A quiet lady by nature, she loved her family and friends and enjoyed spending time with them.   She enjoyed reading and  travelling  to visit family and experience new and exciting ventures like salmon fishing and a cruise up the Pacific coast and  a helicopter ride to see the glaciers.  She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her devoted husband of 55 years Carl, son Kevin (Debbie), daughter Sheryl, nephew Dan (Valdina), 13 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren, sisters Jerusha (George) Roberts and Sharon (Emile) Fournier and brothers Frank, Baxter and Howard Janes and Clyde Wareham, special niece Rolonda Hussey and special sister Christina (Tootsie) Gallant.
