This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Barbara Emond, 69, born on May 9, 1946 and passed away on January 16, 2016. We will remember her forever.
Barbara was born to the late John Lee Collinson and Helen Louise Collinson on May 9th, 1946. She is survived by her Aunty Betty (Eaton) McBride, Aunty Betty (Collinson) McDonald, and her Uncle David Eaton.
Barbara attended Dighton- Rehoboth Regional High, Class of 1962. She remained in the Rehoboth area working for Engelhard and Bliss Manufacturing until the late 80’s; when she relocated to Sanford.
Family and friends were Barbara’s passion and delight. She passed on her strong New England values for family gatherings and cook outs; including “Chowda”, the Rhode Island Red of course. Additionally, Barbara deeply enjoyed crafting. She co-operated a small crafting business based out of Sanford’s Flea World and could be found quite frequently at any of the many arts and crafts festivals across Central Florida. She was still hand crocheting washcloths to pass her time in recent months.
Barbara is survived by her husband Richard Emond, sister Jane Collinson (Paul Eddy) Swenson, nieces and nephews Karen (Ronnie) Madalena, Tracy (Mike) Lombardy, Garry Swenson, great nieces and nephews, Kristina Camp, Makaila and Seth Lombardy, and Marty Swenson, four children Lori (John) LaRose, John (Susan) Emond, Richard (Tammy) Emond, Helen (Richard) Baker, nine grandchildren Ryan, Becky, Andrea, Ashley, Shannon, Delani, Tyler, Courtney, and LeAnna, and six great grandchildren Hayden, Daliha, Jay Jay, Logan, Emma, and Riley. She also leaves behind numerous other loving relatives and friends.
Barbara requested a private cremation and family ceremony. The family wishes to thank all of those who cared for her during her last illness.
