BARBARA ELAINE ALDRIDGE

ALDRIDGE, BARBARA ELAINE Barb, also known as Precious, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Sunday, October 14, 2018 at the age of 69, far too early.

Barb reached the end of her journey after a courageous battle with breast cancer. Barb was the beloved wife of Trevor Aldridge; mother to Wayne, Martine and Kathryn; grandmother to Adryan, Dante, Naima, Sophia, Maisie, Nova and Onyx. Barb is survived by her mother Theresa Coleman of Yonkers, New York. Barb loved her family dearly and was an instinctive, nurturing mother and grandmother who created a very strong circle of family and friends around her to whom she was extremely loyal and supportive.

After retiring early from her career in the Civil Service, Barb was able to fully embrace her passions which included cooking and good food, spending time with her grandchildren, movies (especially during the annual TIFF), travel and long hours creating her beautiful garden. Barb was a warm, loving person who had an impact on everyone she met and will be greatly missed but her beautiful spirit will continue to live in our hearts.

Friends may call at the Thompson Funeral Home, 530 Industrial Parkway South, Aurora on Friday, October 19th from 6-8 p.m. A service and Celebration of her Life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on October 20th at Thompson Funeral Home, Chapel (a reception will follow).
