Barbara "Bobby" Dolan (Fish) Leach

What a spark of energy "Bobby" was for many of us. Being a teacher myself and living also in Newport Center, Bobby was always vocal at many town meetings especially when it involved children. I was also a trustee with her at the Goodrich Memorial Library- She had so many wonderful ideas- Gary and family, we mourn your loss!

My thoughts and prayers go out to Bobby 's family. She will always be remembered by me as "Aunt Bobby". God Bless ❤

To know you was to Love you. GOD bless you Mrs. Fish you will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We are so saddened to hear of your great loss. In my early days I taught with Bobby and Shirley and I became good friends with her and Byron.
Bobby always had an uplifting spirit with a positive attitude and always wore a joyful smile on her face. She will dearly be missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing her!!!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time-
Warmly,
...

Barbara and Gary are next door neighbors to us and all we can say is that she was a true sweetheart of a Lady! She was always friendly and smiling, and any interaction with her always left you feeling good, no matter your mood before meeting her. She was that kind of person.
We will miss her and we wish Gary and the rest of her family the very best during this time of loss.

Sorry to hear about our loss. Aunt Barbara was a very good woman and spent her life in many ways.

My parents (Reg & Doris Leavens) purchased Gladys, a lime-green Volkswagen Beetle with yellow zippers from the Fish's when they lived in Derby. My mother LOVED Gladys with her nimble ways and snow ability. Dad though usually had a Saturday appointment at Butler's Garage for one repair or another but they drove it until it rusted to pieces. Had I known "Bobby" volunteered at Bel-aire when my mother was was a resident, she would have loved to visit with her and reminisce about Gladys. ...

My love for reading came from Mrs. Fish. I really loved having her as a teacher. Her kindness and enthusiasm for her work was always present She has always had a special place in my heart. Sorry for your loss Didi, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time.
