Barbara Jean Hervey went home to be with the Lord Saturday, September 6, 2014 after suffering from stage four cancer. She will be missed for her spunky attitude and always willing to help the less fortunate. She was well known for her cooking and feeding the neighbors. She loved to spend time with family, especially her only grandson. She loved to have cookouts with family and friends and go on family outings. She was a trooper through her pain, and although she will be missed by her family and friends here on earth, we know that she is no longer in pain, and is home with her parents and brother that she had been separated from for so many years. Barb passed on in the comfort of her home, surrounded by her family, which is what she wanted.

In the late 90′s she moved to Genesee County to raise her children that she was so proud of. As a single mother, she was a hard worker and provided well to her two children.

moving to hervey bay in dec or jan 2012 I am loonkig for the slower pace, less population, more nature based activities. Have lived in Brooklyn, (NSW), Dandenong, (Vic) and most recently Moggill (Qld). We are bringing a young family and see plenty of things to do and get involved in. love to hear from anyone in the 30 40 year old age group that I can connect with so that settling in takes less than 2 years which is how long it took me in Brisbane. We don’t know one person yet!! Our big adventure.

The madras cairps are cute.Today’s inanity: I was so pleased with myself for dropping Seamus off at the orthodontist and taking Grace straight to the DMV for her permit exam, i.e. killing two birds with one stone. We even had time to stop at the post office and got back to the orthodontist just as Seamus was finished. Then, we were back at home for FIVE minutes, and he somehow got a bracket unglued and we had to go straight back to the orthodontist.
