Barbara Ann Wintrip (nee Johnson) December 19, 1943 – June 29, 2025). We are devastated by the death of Barb, our mother, wife, Nana and heart of our family.

We all looked to Barb for guidance in life’s moments, from the big important decisions to everyday events. And from time to time, she would even offer her opinion without being asked! Barb spent most of her adult life caring for aging and ailing family members starting with her great aunts, Mary and Agnes, then her mother-in-law, Lillian, her mother, Betty and most recently her sister, Pam. She would make several visits weekly to each of them and provide the comfort of her presence. We know that she made a huge difference.

Barb loved to travel, play tennis and golf, watch the Toronto Blue Jays, play Bridge, do crosswords, read and most importantly, get daily updates on all our lives. Her spirit always belied her age. If you asked her how old she was, she would say, “27,” even up until a few weeks ago.

Barb leaves behind her husband of 58 years, John; her children, Aynsley (Floyd), Ian (Danielle) and Garrett; and her grandchildren Jack, Teddy, Max and Esme.

Visitation will be held at Turner and Porter “Peel Chapel,” 2180 Hurontario St, Mississauga on Sunday, July 6th from 5-8pm.

She will be buried in a private ceremony at Park Lawn Cemetary, along with her sister, parents and grandparents.

In lieu of flowers, kindly consider donating to Trillium Health Partners, where mom received exceptional care in her last days. Thank you to all the doctors, nurses and PSWs who cared for Barb the last couple of years with special recognition to family physician Dr Rosalinda Asaro who has always gone above and beyond in her care.
