Barbara Wasiak flew to the angels after passing peacefully on the evening of March 16 2024 at St. John Hospice in Vancouver BC. Barbara leaves behind her devoted family, daughter Christine (Bruce), Angela (Peter), Dana (Christoff), the Ciesluks, Goodnows and Kohls and many more family and friends from Europe and North America. Barbara is predeceased by her devoted husband Tom and older siblings in her native Poland. Barbara arrived in Canada from her native Poland to join husband Tom in 1962. Barbara and Tom settled in Richmond BC in 1967 where Barbara worked as a devoted long term care nurse for many decades. In 2012 Barbara continued into a magical chapter of her life in the Village at False Creek; gardening, laughing and making many friends. A devoutly spiritual and religious woman, Barbara believed that there was good in everyone. Her family gratefully thanks those who prayed with and for Barbara.
