Barbara Rhodes
Passed away peacefully at Lee Manor in Owen Sound on Sunday, March 20, 2022 in her 93rd year. Barbara Rhodes (nee Annis) was born in Toronto and lived there, as well as in the Hamilton region, in her earlier years. Then after more than 25 years in the Kawarthas, she moved to Owen Sound in 2019 to be with close family. Barbara was the beloved wife of the late Arnold Rhodes and the late Robert Grainger. She will be sadly missed by her daughters Shelley Grainger (Terry West) and Mary Ann Grainger (John Sievert), grandchildren Kim, Chase and Katya, and great-grandchildren Riley, Carter and Spencer. Predeceased in death by her mother Rita Cameron and son Jim Grainger (Carly). The family would like to thank the kind staff at Lee Manor for their compassion and devoted care during Mom’s stay there. Independent living became more difficult for her in recent years. Despite her loss of mobility, her mind never failed her, and she’s now free from her burdens and gone to her eternal heavenly home. Cremation has taken place, and as per her wishes, her ashes will be spread at a later date alongside her husband Arnold’s at the Memorial Garden at Riverside Cemetery in Lindsay, Ontario. The family would also like to thank the good people at Home & Community Support Services Grey-Bruce (HCSS Grey-Bruce), who provide essential services to seniors in our region.
