May 26, 1948 - December 15, 2024
In loving memory ~
Barbara-Jean Belle was born in Melfort, Saskatchewan on May 26th, 1948, to Jewel Anne and Kenneth Edward Jeffrey. She passed away on December 15th, 2024, in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta.
Barbara was predeceased by her parents and husband Joseph. She is survived by her son Scott (Danita) Deptuch and her grandchildren Kayne and Mya.
Barb married Joe on August 31st, 1968, at the Grace-Westminster United Church in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Their time in Alberta started in Edmonton, then Fort Saskatchewan and on to Stettler where they picked Scott up in August 1979. In 1996, the family moved to Medicine Hat. The house was sold after Joe's passing in 2012 and Barb moved twice to be closer to family, first to Sundre, then to Fort Saskatchewan once more.
Mom cherished her family first and Elvis second. Loved painting, so much that she would teach children in our home. Adored tending the flowers in her garden. And delighted in her grandchildren, ever declaring what a 'handsome boy' or 'beautiful girl'!
Honouring Barb's wishes there will be no funeral service. She will be interred in a private function to be with Joe once more.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the Alberta Lung Association.
