It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Barb Stockley, after a courageous fight against cancer, at the age of 70, on August 8, 2020 at Hospice Simcoe with family by her side. Her pride shone when speaking of her beloved husband Roy (deceased 2014), her son’s Earl (Lynn), Steve and her cherished granddaughter Chloe. She will be sadly missed by her brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, family and large extended group of friends.
Barb was a woman who formed great friendships and made a point to stay in touch. Barb loved her family and friends more than anything in the world. She wanted everyone she knew to be happy and was known to go to great lengths to achieve this. Barb was well loved and gave her love freely…..she will be greatly missed in our lives.
Our deepest love and thanks to our family and friends who spent time with her, the window visits, phone calls and texts to Barb and both Earl and Steve. We don’t know how we could have done it without you.
We wish to thank Hospice Simcoe, Doctor Luchkiw and the home care nurses for the incredible care. We are forever grateful.
When life is in a gentler time, we will host a Celebration of her life (details will be posted at a later date). Cremation arrangements entrusted to Peaceful Transitions in Barrie. Donations can be made to Hospice Simcoe.
She has rejoined the love of her life Roy. Their reunion had to have been met with hugs, tears and then of course Roy’s new to do list. Rest in Peace. We love you and miss you. xoxo

Posted on: Saturday, August 22, 2020Barb was well loved by all her friends at Parkview 55+ Centre in Barrie. She was a person of honesty and warmth.
Whenever she came into a room be it for a meal–like lunch or to play cards she would light up everyone around her. She had a hearty laugh that drew you in. Her fight with cancer was a remarkable journey she shared with us,
the courage she showed will never be forgotten, right to the end of her journey kept that smile. A woman who loved life and will now be with her beloved husband, and left behind a great legacy in her sons and family.
Another of God’s Angels has joined the heavenly host that are already there. You were a true blessing to all who knew you—good bye our friend.
