For many years she worked at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital as an HR administrator and brought tireless energy and humour to her work there. “Shortly before she retired she was presented to the Queen in recognition of her service there. “After her retirement and more so following the death of her husband Austin, she became involved in the community in and around Oliver’s Battery both participating in and organising events for the Battery Club. “She was a friendly soul with time for everyone. “Barbara was married to Austin for 56 years and succeeded him by a little over two years. “She leaves behind a large family of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who will all love and treasure her memory. “The family wish to pay particular thanks to the teams at Southampton General Hospital, Wessex Neurological, and to Hampshire Constabulary who attended to her during this tragedy and who have all displayed tremendous professionalism and caring.” Investigations into the collision are ongoing and anyone with information should contact us on 101, quoting 44170311290.
