Barbrick (Hutt), Pearl Kathleen – Age 94, of Truro and formerly of Shubenacadie, passed away peacefully on August 23, 2025 surrounded by her loving family.
Pearl was a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend. She will be remembered for her ability to make and nurture friendships, reaching out through her care and involvement in the community. Whether serving with the Shubenacadie Legion, alongside her husband, Allan, or greeting neighbours with kindness, Pearl’s presence left a lasting mark on all who knew her. She also created many friendships and happy memories during her years at House of Hay, and later over a good game of cards with her friends in her Truro apartment, and her Away For the Day program at Wynn Park. Wherever she was, her warmth and laughter brightened the day.
Pearl loved life’s simple pleasures. She could often be found puttering in her yard, playing a lively game of cards, or stepping onto the dance floor with a sparkle in her eye. She delighted in sharing a laugh and always seemed to have a witty comment ready. Visitors to Pearl’s home never left hungry, often welcomed with a home-cooked meal and molasses cookies (or a biscuit or two).
Above all else, Pearl’s pride and legacy is her family. Each of them was a source of joy, and carries memories of her guidance and unconditional love. Pearl is survived by her children, Sheila (Jim) McMichael, Suzette Cameron, and Alana (Glenn) McCabe; grandchildren, Tracy (Craig), Cory (Lynette), Christian (Julie), Jaime (Adam), David (Danielle), and Brandon; great-grandchildren, Aidan, Rylan, Pyper, Gabby, and Kohen; as well as many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her parents, Howard and Bertha (Moore) Hutt; her beloved husband, Allan, with whom she shared so much of her life’s journey; siblings, Jean, Leland, Vincent, George, Dorothy, Hal, Effie, Irene, Bernard, Marshall, Sadie, Orrie, Elmer, Gerald, Kenneth; and son-in-law, Sid Cameron.
Visitation will be held Tuesday, August 26 from 6 – 8 p.m., followed by a funeral service Wednesday, August 27 at 2 p.m., both in Shubenacadie United Church, 2869 Main Street, with Rev. Natalie Buchanan Rutherford officiating. Family, friends, and loved ones are invited to a reception after the service. A private family graveside service will follow.
Arrangements are under the direction of Arimathea Funeral Cooperative, Upper Musquodoboit.
