BARBARA MARIE CARTER

On Jan. 23, 2010, friends and family gathered at the L.R. Giberson Funeral Home in Florenceville, N.B., for a farewell and celebration of life for Barbara Marie (Pelkey) Carter (1946-2010).
Barbara taught and lived in Florenceville for a large part of her life. She loved the area, especially Maple Street where she lived.
The memorial service was conducted by Rev. Les Johnston and assisted by Pastor Peter Culberson. Uplifting music by several musicians and singers, chosen by Barbara, was a memorable part of the service. Her good friends and teaching colleagues, Ruth Giberson and Weldon Matthews, gave eulogies. These reflected her family life and teaching career. Her innate sense of humour was an asset in her teaching and was well received by all her students as she challenged them to reach higher levels of accomplishment.
Over the years, Barbara enjoyed many trips abroad with her family and friends. They provided a rich learning and cultural experience, which added to her broad education. Her love of animals was a very important part of her life. Many recipients of her “rescue missions” became occupants of her home and those of her friends.
Many condolences were received via email, telephone, cards, letters and house calls. Many donations were made on her behalf to the Cancer Society, the Andrew & Laura McCain Library and the DunRoamin’ Animal Shelter.
A reception was held at the Faith Memorial Chapel for all visitors and a private gathering for family and Maple Street residents was held at Barb’s home, hosted by Helen Dickinson.
A special thank you, again, to Todd and Sherri, Mary and Larry, and Ruth and Ian for the loving care given to Barbara and her cats during her illness. God bless! - Ola Pelkey, Davis, June, Don and Glenys Pelkey
