Barbara Martin Ward

Barb Ward's passing shocked me and saddened me. I am so sorry that I did not contact her in the last few years. She was my mentor and my "work mother". She loved her family first and her colleagues second. I met her my first day in the recovery room and I knew I would always have a gardian angel. I hope her final days were peaceful and painless. She will live on in the hearts of those young (and now old) nurses that she mentored and protected. I hope her family finds comfort knowing that we loved your dear wife and mother

To the family of Barb Ward. She was my senior clinician in the Recovery Room at UVa. I considered her my mentor and she was always willing to give of her time and clinical knowledge helping new nurses. She will be truly missed.

Gilbert, Eddie and Kathy, I am sorry to Hear of Barbs passing. The times that we talked was always a joy. May she have a wonderful time on the other side. All of you are in my Prayers. God Bless.

I worked with Barb for many years on the 5th floor at UVA Hospital. It was always a pleasure to work with Barb as she was a great RN, dedicated to her patients and a wonderful advocate for them. Her experience will be missed by UVA nursing and the patients she cared for.

Dear Ward family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Barbara was such a caring person. We will not forget her. Please let us know if we can help in any way.

Gilbert Ward and family, I am sorry for your loss of Barbara. She was truly a friend to our family. She will surly be missed. My God keep and comfort you
