Barbara Anne Bonnvie-Smith

Falmouth - Barbara Anne Bonnvie-Smith, 68 passed peacefully on 12/9/2024 at Sedgewood Commons in Falmouth. Barbara Anne was born on 5/3/1956 in Portland, Maine, the eldest daughter of William and Sally Bonnvie. She attended Cathedral School as a child, a true free spirit who spent her days on Munjoy Hill with her siblings and best friends, the "Portland Girls". She went on to graduate from Portland High School, Class of 1975 to begin what would be a 30 year career in management at Shaw's Supermarket, retiring only after dedicating another 18 years of hard work to Seafax. Barbara built her life in Buxton alongside her husband Buddy and dear friends, the "Buxton Girls", where she flourished in devoting her time to lovingly raising her two sons, Shawn and Derek and stepson Jamie.
Barbara is remembered by her kindness, humor and cherishment of those she loved above all else. Her prized possession was her very own boat "The Sea Salt" and when not working or spending time with family and friends, she loved nothing more than the sun on her face, toes in the sand and swimming in the ocean.
