It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Barbara Mansfield, of Raynham, Massachusetts, who peacefully left us on March 14, 2025 at the age of 81, surrounded by loved ones. Barbara was the devoted wife of the late Bob Mansfield.
Barbara was a loving and caring mother to her three sons: Steven Mansfield and his husband Mariano Pinho, Bryan Mansfield and his wife Stephanie Mansfield, and Robert Mansfield and his wife Lisa Mansfield. She was also the proud grandmother to five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, all of whom brought immense joy to her life.
A woman of many passions, Barbara found joy in crafting, traveling, and most of all, spending time in New Bedford MA with her extended family, Jason, Angela, Delia, and Jonathon. Her warm heart, kindness, and love for others will be remembered by all who knew her. In the last few years of her life, Barbara was lovingly cared for by Stephanie and Steven, whose dedication and compassion brought her comfort and peace.
Barbara's family and friends will forever cherish the memories of her selfless love and the beautiful moments shared throughout her life. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy of love and devotion will live on in the hearts of her family.
Her funeral service will be private. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 or www.stjude.org
May she rest in peace.
