Barbara Ann Johnston (nee MacDonald)
Obituary
Passed on
June 29, 1949 – July 31, 2024 Unexpectedly with great sadness we announce the passing of Barbara Ann Johnston.
She leaves behind her husband of 54 years, Bruce; children Cody Johnston (Julie), Trevor Johnston (Rosemary); grandchildren, Jessica (Kyle), Curtis (Jaylese); great grandchild Hazel; brothers Daniel MacDonald (Barbara) and Neil MacDonald (Wendy); numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews and many special friends.
She was predeceased by her mother Irene MacDonald and father John MacDonald.
Barb was born on June 29, 1949 in Winnipeg, Manitoba and grew up in Winnipeg where she attended Isaac Brock and Daniel McIntyre. Barb worked at MTS as a long distance operator and then later as a technician at Boeing. She owned Barb’s Sub Plus at the Unicity Mall until the mall closed and then she retired to the family cabin at Belair, Manitoba.
Barb married the love of her life Bruce on November 1, 1969 in Winnipeg and shortly after they moved to Stonewall and began their family. Barb was a proud member of the Stonewall Kinsmen Kinettes for numerous years. She took great pride in her yard and gardening, and grew many flowers not only for herself, but also to share with friends and family. Barb’s Ukrainian cooking and baking was second to none and everyone looked forward to her meals and care packages.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. If friends and family so desire, please make a donation in her honour to a charity of your choice.
Barb will be remembered by her family and friends for her strength, courage and support of others. She will be deeply missed and in our hearts forever.

Bruce, Cody and Trevor Aunty Barb was a big part of my life growing up, working at Barbs Sub at Unicity Mall in Winnipeg. I also have so many good memories of her at the cottage at Lester Beach. She was such a loving person and will be greatly missed. Thinking of you all.
