Barbara Dunlop, a long-time resident of West and North Vancouver, died on Sunday, January 15, 2017 at Purdy Pavilion in Vancouver.

Born in Vancouver in 1920, Barbara attended Kitsilano High School where she starred in basketball, quite an accomplishment for a person who was very determined to be five feet two and one-half inches tall. Barbara was a keen tennis player in the 1930s at the Stanley Park tennis court and later an enthusiastic golfer as one of the founding members of Seymour Golf Club in North Vancouver. Her golfing ended with the onset of macular degeneration in the early 2000s but she never missed listening to her favourite golfers’ progress in the weekly TV broadcasts of the PGA tournaments.

Predeceased by her husband, Tom; and son, Michael; she is survived by her daughter, Cathy (Ken) Danderfer; grandchildren, James (Shauna) Danderfer, Josh (Irene) Dunlop, Megan (Craig) Danderfer, and Adrienne Kube; and three great grandchildren.

The Kearney Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements.
