Barbara was born in Florence on February 1st 1947. Ma will be remembered for her quick with and funny sense of humor. Ma was an avid baker and was well known for her date squares and pancakes, though she excelled in all aspects of baking.

Ma also enjoyed a good game of 45’s with her family. Over the years Ma played on dart leagues and loved a night out to Bingo. She also enjoyed a good hockey game (Montreal Canadiens) or a good Blue Jays ball game. You always knew she was watching as she would be hollering at the TV.

Barbara is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, John (Stemmer) MacMullin of Florence. Her daughter Lynda, son Stuart (Michelle), grandchildren Nathan (Emma), Joseph, John Wilson, Alana, Rachelle and Royce. Barb is also survived by her sister-in-law, Odille Campbell, along with many nieces and nephews.
