Laree Barber Obituary (2005)

SYRACUSE - Our dear sister and aunt, LaRee Barber, age 76, passed away December 22, 2005 after a long valiant battle with cancer. She was born April 28, 1929 in Syracuse, Utah, to Clarence Arthur Barber and Mary Hortense Thompson. LaRee lived all her life in Syracuse and graduated from Davis High School. LaRee's mother died when she was five years old. She was raised from that age by her second mother, LaVern Call Barber, whom she loved and admired. LaRee worked at the Navy Supply Depot, Clearfield, retiring in 1984. She was an active member of the LDS Church where she served many years in the Junior Sunday school, as a Visiting teacher, and in Family Extraction. LaRee is preceded in death by her father, two mothers and one brother, Fay A. Barber and a sister-in-law, Frances Barber. She is survived by her sister Itha Flint (L. Jay), Layton; brother Bruce Barber (Sharon), Syracuse; 6 nieces and 5 nephews, and 29 great nieces and nephews, whom she loved as her own children and who in-turn deeply loved Aunt LaRee. She loved flowers and working in her flower garden. She loved Christmas and shared this spirit by showering all her loved ones with lots of presents for many, many years.
