November 15, 1944 – February 18, 2011
Barbara Lee Wolfe (nee Armstrong) passed away February 18, 2011 in her home in Victoria. Barbara was born on November 15, 1944 to Elizabeth and John Armstrong in Rouyn Noranda, Quebec. She is survived and will be dearly missed by son James (Alison); daughter Jennifer (James); and grandaughter Emma. Affectionately known as Nana B., Barb was pillar for the family and her spirit positively impacted many during her time with us. Her caring nature, energy and love were cherished and will be sorely missed.
“Each day I strive to live by my personal motto: Everyone has limitations. What is done with the limitations determines success or failure. Remember, laughter is really the best medicine, Barb.”

It’s been 14 years and 5 months today and I miss my Nana B so much. Reading all these condolences for the first time and all these years later makes me cry I loved her and still love her so much. There’s so many times I wish I could just call and her voice but despite the years, I still can remember her saying, “don’t get saucy with me” and I can hear her voice saying it too when I remember. I also remember walking to get groceries with her, going to Beacon Hill Park to the stage and petting zoo. To the water near her apartment. The road we went down to get to the water was always so windy because of the buildings around and we called it the “Wind Tunnel”. We’d also sit on the floor and room a ball between us. I’d get to see to the cruise ships from her apartment when it docked. I remember putting a piece of cardboard beside her tv to keep the glare off the tv from the sun. She always made the perfect bagels in the morning too. I remember going in her little burgundy car. We always talked about getting a convertible and have our hair blowing in the wind. Gosh, I miss her. Love you Nana Banana. Always and Forever ❤️
My condolences to Barbs family and friends. I never met her in person, but I was always pleased to hear her voice when I was scheduling hours for a patient at home. She was always pleasant and helpful. I felt like she had a smile on her face. She will be missed. She was a special person. Take care of each other.
