Obituary of Barbara Edna Storey
STOREY, Barbara Edna, Retired Elementary School Teacher with the North York Board of Education and long-time volunteer at Southlake RHC Newmarket, passed away peacefully in Smith Falls Hospital on April 2 surrounded by her family. Beloved wife of the late Frank Storey, mother of Mark Mulrenin and Paul Storey, mother in law to Barb Mulrenin, grandmother to Lauren (Glenn McCaig) and Colin Mulrenin (Marisha Laine) and Keegan Meyers (Misha Smart). Great-grandmother to Cooper Meyers-Smart. Loving friend of Sharon Graydon. Sadly missed by all of the Doherty family, and relatives in England. Barbara and her family emigrated to Canada in 1964 settling in the Toronto area and were later joined by her parents John and Grace Braun. She loved music and sang in her father’s big band during the war. She participated in amateur dramatics in England and was most recently on stage in Keswick Ontario. Barbara took an early retirement from teaching to spend time with her husband Frank and they enjoyed activities and travel with Frank’s fellow retirees from Ontario Hydro. Following her grand-daughter Lauren and partner Glenn McCaig's purchase of a farm in Elizabethtown-Kitley, and son Mark and wife Barb moving to Smiths Falls, Barbara chose to enter the Chartwell Van Horne Retirement Residence in September and had many happy memories of the people and activities there. Many thanks to Smiths Falls Hospital 2nd floor for the superlative care which she received. Thanks also to the staff at Chartwell Van Horne Retirement Residence. A Celebration of Barbara’s life will take place on Friday April 26, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. at the Taylor Funeral Home in Newmarket. For those who wish, memorial donations in memory of Barbara may be made to the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation (Palliative Care).
