Barbara J. Parente

My condolences to the entire extended Parente family......she was a great teacher, skier, hiker and loyal friend. No words can express the gratitude and love for the many times shared in Maine, Vermont, and especially in the classrooms of Bethany Community School! Her kindness and care will always be in my memory, it was an honor to share life with her....all who knew her lost an exceptional human being......RIP, Barbara, until we meet again.....Love, Cornell Bialicki

So sorry to hear of the loss of Barbara. She was one of my teachers in 6th grade at BCS and was one of my favorites. Both of my sisters had her as a teacher too and we were all blessed to have known her and caller her friend. My condolences to everyone in the extended Parente family. Jim Seaton - Bethany, CT

The loons called and Barbara J Parente, aka Mom, Grama, Great Grama, Momoose, Moosey, Grama Moosey listened. She counted the loons on Long Pond every year and we have the calendar to prove it! As I sat listening to the loons this year, they sounded different, off, not the usual tremolo. Maybe they were telling me something, maybe they were calling my Mom home. I LOVE YOU MOM!
