Vance Stanley Barry

Vance passed away at his home in Maple Ridge, B.C. after a brief but courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his loving children who cared for him during his last days.

After many happy years of marriage, Vance was predeceased by his wife Royce (nee Wells of Pennfield Ridge) in 1990; the mother of their four children: Janet (Barry) Collick, Jill (Norm] Powzun, Greg (Janice) Barry and Glen (Charisse) Barry. Finding love again, he married Marlene (nee Rayton) who passed away in 2009. With Marlene he became a loving father to her children, Debbie MacDonald, Doug Werlin (deceased) and Sherry (Bruce] Coglan. Vance left behind 18 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren who absolutely adored their Grampy.

Vance was born and raised in St. George. Although he lived in several Provinces throughout his 84 years, he remained a Maritimer at heart. His service in the Canadian Military is a great source of pride to his family. Vance will be deeply missed by nieces and nephews in Ontario and NB as well as many good friends and neighbours.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, a small graveside service was held at Maple Ridge Cemetery on the 21st of November.
