September 4, 1924 - June 1, 2010 - With great sadness the family of Barbara Ruth Arnold announces that she passed away at the Lakeshore General Hospital, Pointe-Claire, Quebec, surrounded by her loving family and caregiver, Gloria Locke. Barbara was loved by all for her kind and generous spirit. She provided endless love, support and wise counsel to the family.

Burdon; her sister Joyce Graham; her children Linda Cameron (Adrian), Douglas Burdon (Sharon), Tom A.
