Barbara Marette Obituary
Barbara Jean Marette (nee Scott) was born June 14, 1939, in Detroit, Michigan, and did go gentle into that good night on December 19, 2021, at 82 years of age in West Vancouver, Canada, surrounded by her children. Survived by her son Steven Marette (Katherine Allard-Marette); daughters Leanne Marette (Bob Styan) and Shannon Marette; and three grandchildren Duncan, Vanessa and Zoë. She was predeceased by her husband, Captain Billy Marette, on April 29, 2015, GMT. Barbara was the eldest child of her family, survived by her sister Linda and brother John and predeceased by her brothers James and Barrie, and her parents Jane and Wallace Scott.
Barbara was selfless in her love and support to her family and friends. She had an endless supply of positivity and calmness that could tame the impatient, boost the unconfident and uplift the disheartened. She was always there as a friend, aunt, cousin, daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother.
Barbara will be missed and loved by many and forgotten by none. There are plans of a celebration of life in the coming months once travel restrictions ease.
