Barbara Anne Waite tragically passed away at the age of 64 on March 31, 2020. Barbie was a cherished mother, daughter, sister and friend who offered unconditional love and support to her family. She was a beautiful and selfless person whose kind and generous spirit shone brightly throughout her entire life. She loved being a mother and shared a special connection with her daughter Lisa. As a dear sister, she was a best friend, guiding light and moral compass. Her quick wit and vivid imagination filled our lives with fun and laughter. Barbie was a loving daughter who devoted much of her time to her parents. She was a strong advocate for her mother's care and always kept her best interests at heart. Barbie's mom treasured her companionship.

Barbie was a long-time Squamish resident who was most at peace when outside and around nature. She loved adventuring, especially cross-country skiing, biking and hiking, which are some of our fondest memories of time spent with her. Although small in physical stature, she was strong and brave, fighting through challenges with a relentless positive outlook. She had a strong passion for animals and her pets adored her, never wanting to leave her side.

We ask that family and friends share photos and memories of Barbie to commemorate her on this memorial page. Her Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. May her memory live on forever in our hearts.
