Pamela Barclay Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 12, 2011.
BARCLAY, Pamela Cynthia (née Barlow) (Renowned Ontario Artist)
Peacefully at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre on Friday, March 11, 2011 in her 90th year. Loving mother of Edward Barclay and Stephan Barclay(Kerri). Dear grandmother of Kara Barclay, Ryan Barclay and Stephanie Barclay. Predeceased by her husband of 49 years Douglas Robert Barclay (1996). Pamela has taught watercolour and painted long enough to have been dubbed an expert on the subject. She graduated from a commercial art course in Toronto and then worked for Ontario Hydro as a topographical draftsperson. During the years that followed, she painted with many of Toronto's better known artists, concentrating first in oils, then watercolours. As an artist Pamela found time to study her craft with 2 members of the Group of Seven. Pamela was a member of the Artist Workshop, Willowdale Group, the E.C.O.A.A., the Cape Coral League of Florida, the S.W. Florida Art Association and an international past member of the National League of American Pen Women Artist Inc. She also taught with the Fort 11 league in Florida in 1993. Her paintings have hung in many juried shows and in the Mathiasville Gallery, The Jackson Gallery, Whetung Curve Lake Gallery and the Village House Gallery. The family will receive friends at Cephas Christian Reformed Church, located at 220 Goodfellow Road, Peterborough, on Thursday, March 17, for a memorial at 11:00 am. Reverend Jerritt Heersink officiating. Arrangements entrusted to COMSTOCK FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION CENTRE. Online condolences may be made at www.comstockfuneralhome.com.

To the family and friends of Pamela Cynthia Barclay,
Please have a condolence,I never knew Pam well but I am sorry Pam has died. I am a member of KAGS and draw and paint with any Outdoors members on Thursdays now. We will reminisce about her when we have art class and get more art done outdoors and indoors. May she have blessed peace and she was wished by many. Sincerely, Daphne Molson.

Dear Ted & Steve:
I was very sorry to read of your mother's passing. Please accept sincere condolences from myself and all members of our side of the family. I have good memories of your mother and all members of your family from those annual Barclay / Lester family picnics in the "olden days". She lived a long and fruitful life pursuing what was obviously her passion and which, no doubt, brought her great joy and satisfaction. We should all be so lucky. Your mother will live on through her works of art. May she rest in peace.
Sincerely, Bob Barclay

Our condolences to your family with the passing of Pamela. I knew her as a fellow member of Cephas church and I (Bob)also shared some of her artistic interests (although I was more of a cartoonist). I've included a picture of Pamela taken a few years ago at my parents home in Lakefield. Bob and Dorothy Wierdsma.

Pam will always be remembered by me as someone with a real zest for life! I cherish the times we talked together at church and the blessing she was to me through her kind words and beautiful paintings. I will certainly miss her!

I met Pam for the fist time when I joined the kawartha Artist gallery, and she found out I had an interest in pen&ink, she invited me to her beautiful apartment to view her beautiful works of art, Pam was always supportive of me when i became president and then Treasurer of the gallery, a good sense of humour with a twinkle in her eyes is the way I remember Pam.

Pam was my Pisces friend, She was strong, talented and thought alot of her twin boys, which she spoke of constantly.She spent about 4 days a week with me at Mapleridge Senior Centre where she played Euchre, sat with her Bingo friends and had Wednesday and Thursday Lunches with friends. She was apioneer for women in many aspects of her life and continued to have a quite unique personality as she travelled through life. Her positive personality and fighting spirit were two characteristics that I respected in our friendship. She was fortunate to have lived and experienced many of her passions throughout her life time. I will remember her Sherri Rolls
