Power, Barbara Mary – of Ship Harbour. It is with deep sadness and loving remembrance that we announce the passing of Barbara Mary Power on September 6, 2025, aged 65, who passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of her family. She was a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.
Born in Sheet Harbour in 1960, Barbara lived a life of compassion, quiet strength, and deep devotion to her loved ones. She was the beloved wife of Randall Power, with whom she shared a life rich in love and partnership.
Barbara was a proud and nurturing mother to her four children: Stephen Power (Darlene), Allan Power (Heather), Selena Power (William), and Melissa Power (Michael). Her unwavering love and guidance shaped the lives of her children and continue to live on through them. She was also a deeply devoted grandmother to Ravenne Hull, Grace Power, and Elsie Webber, who were the light of her life. Her love for her grandchildren was boundless, and her legacy will live on in their hearts.
Barbara is predeceased by her loving parents, Frances and Allan Monk; and her sisters, Margaret Monk and Carol Gray.
She is lovingly remembered by her nephew, Victor Gray (Kim) and niece, Joanne Gray, both of whom held a special place in her heart. Barbara was not only a wonderful mother and grandmother, but also a caring aunt who extended her love and support to her extended family.
Barbara’s life was a quiet testament to kindness, strength, and generosity. Her home was always open, her heart always full, and her love knew no limits. She touched the lives of many with her warmth and compassion, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know her.
A celebration of Barbara’s life will be held in Jeddore United Baptist Church, Head of Jeddore at 2 p.m., on Friday, September 12, 2025 followed by a burial in Baptist Community Cemetery, East Jeddore. Family and friends are invited to attend and honour her memory together.
