Obituary
On the sunniest moment of Friday January 15th, 2021 Barbara Erickson of Newton and Chatham transitioned peacefully at home surrounded by her “trio of light”, her partner in life, Peter Torrebiarte and their two children, Lucia and Marcelo Torrebiarte, after 4 years living with a rare cancer of the appendix. Barbara was inspired through life by a wide circle of friends and family including her beautiful parents, Arnold and Dixie Erickson, a sister, Bonnie Jardee …
Event details
Memorial events are private
The family has asked for private services to appropriately nurture Lucia and Marcelo; a larger gathering will take place at a later date. The physical Barbara was in the peak of her career, therefore in lieu of flowers the family asks, instead, for contributions to the children’s college funds directly to their 529c https://go.fidelity.com/p5vap https://go.fidelity.com/vdqtf (either link will go to both children)
Event video
This event will be live streamed, so you can watch from home if desired. Peter Torrebiarte and Jeannine Kevorkian have not yet added the link.
Message Peter Torrebiarte (page manager).
