My most sincere condolences to Barb’s husband, children and family. I worked with Barb for many years at 3M, and she was always a sparkling and effervescent presence. She will be missed.
I also want to extend my personal condolences to her sister, Kim. My sister (Audrey) and I went to school with her many years ago and we had some really fun times together and actually first met Barb through Kim. I am so sorry for your loss Kim. When you and Barb were together, you could light up Manhattan with your energy.

My heart goes out to the entire extended Brown clan and to Barb’s husband and children. Such a tragic loss at such a young age.

It is with sincere sadness that we learned of the passing of Barb, she was a kind, generous spirit who could light a room with her beautiful smile. We have many fond memories of sharing many Victoria day weekends in Muskoka. Where we watched, with great pride, each other’s children grow, shared the years’ stories over a few beverages and enjoyed each other’s company. We know first hand Barb’s zest for life, her infectious laugh and smile and yes her Chocolate chip cookies. To the family, we pray for God speed through the sorrow of loss to remembrance of the best of Barb and her love of you all.
With Love
Paula Bellini & Marty Rutledge
