It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Avis Joyce Barker-Stanley. Avis, known to some as JB.

JB left this world on September 1, 2024. Born on March 18, 1941, she lived a life full of immense love, creativity, and an unmistakable passion for her various pursuits.

Avis was an undeniable force of nature, her vibrant personality and infectious laughter filling every room she entered. Her spirit was impossible to contain, and her impact on those around her is a testament to her life's legacy.

She had an uncanny ability to make anyone feel welcome, and her capacity for empathy was matched only by her boundless love for her family and friends. Avis was not just a joy to be around, she was a beacon of positivity and hope in a world that often needed it.

In death, Avis leaves behind a void, one that will never truly be filled. Her memory, however, will continue to inspire and uplift those who were lucky enough to cross her path. As we mourn her passing, we also celebrate a life well-lived, a life that touched so many, a life that will continue to resonate long after her passing.

As we remember Avis "Aka JB" Barker-Stanley, let us not just dwell on her death, but also celebrate her life. Let us remember her not just as we knew her in her final days, but as she was at her best: full of life, full of love, full of joy. She was truly one of a kind, and she will be sorely missed.
