[Oe List ...] Barbara Barkony

[E B]

I'm so sad to hear of Barbara's passing. Both Don and Barbara were so welcoming of us at Kemper and kind to us specially when our first son was born. It's so vivid in my memory watching big Barbara holding tiny Baby Jaffer. She made us feel safe by her loving presence. Journey on Barbara...

See a joyful photo of 
Barbara and her obituary at http://www.emmonsmaceysteffey.com/sitemaker/sites/Emmons1/obit.cgi?user=601784Barkony,
 
I remember the wisdom of 
Barbara as we worked on preparation for one of the Phase I camps in the mid 
70's.  She had done a lot of work with YMCA camps and had much to offer to 
those of us who had only attended camps.  We send our care to Don and 
Elizabeth and Susan and their families.  Theirs has been a long journey of 
care.  
 
Grace and peace,  
Lynda Cock

Dear Friends and Colleagues:
 
I got this message today on my Facebook Page:
 
 
  
To all of my friends and 
family here on facebook, I lost my wife(Barbara) of 53 years on March 29, 2012. 
She went peacefully with her family by her side. She had been doing better, and 
we were able to celebrate our 53rd wedding anniversary on the 21st of March, we 
had our favorite ice cream cake, and Dogwood Barbaque brisquet! She was all 
smiles and so was I! My new address is 
Donald 
Barkony
1800 Pine Street
Lawrenceville, IL 62439
Ph: 
(618)943-1323
 
 
Judith and I have known Barb and Don literally since the 
beginning of our experience with the Order.  We took RSI in January, 1968 
in Cleveland, Ohio.   Don was in our course, and Barbara had already 
taken the course, and was a "P.O."  Throughout the 70s we shared Movement 
activities in the Cleveland Region, and then reconnected at Kemper in the 80s. 
Barbara was an excellent teacher, both in public schools and in EI courses, 
particularly in the Academy.  
They 
visited us here in Florida in 200l.  We wish Don the best.  He 
has been Barbara's caregiver for the past 10 years or so, after they retired to 
Lawrenceville.  No more devoted husband has ever been created!
 
Grace, Peace, and Love,

Mike
To be a realist in 
our time is to believe in miracles.
