Faye Yvonne Robar

It is with saddened hearts that we announce the passing of Faye Yvonne Robar, 85, of Hamms Hill Road, on October 6, 2024.

Faye was born on March 25, 1939 in New Cornwall and was the daughter of Arnold and Hazel Barkhouse.

Faye was an active member of Northwest Baptist Church where she served as a deacon as well as participating in various church functions. She was a founding member of the Maritime Motorcycle Touring Association, South Shore Chapter III where she remained active for many years. Traveling by motorcycle was one of her favourite pastimes. In recent years she enjoyed doing lexicons, puzzles, reading, tending to her greenhouse plants, bird-watching from her kitchen window and swinging on her porch swing. One of her greatest joys was spending time with loved ones. Faye touched many lives and will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by all.
