Obituary for Barbara Boyd Kerr (Neill)

KERR, BARBARA BOYD (nee NEILL)
July 18, 1927 – April 26, 2018
A much loved mother and Gran, Barbara passed peacefully at Lanark Lodge in Perth ON near her daughter’s home. Born in Armadale, Scotland, she was predeceased by her husband, Bill (2010); sister, Betty Hoard; and brother-in-law, George Hoard. Barbara is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Ann and Bob Thompson; son, Robert Kerr; and grandchildren, Jamie (Andrea) Thompson, Drew (Jen) Thompson, Robyn (Jon) Orazietti, and Sam Kerr. She was the proud Great Gran of Cassidy, Caitlyn, Nate, Sydney, Nolan, Clive, and Brynn. Family and music were her greatest passions. Barbara was in a swing/dance band in Britain at the end of and just after WW2. She’s probably tickling those ivories right now.
