Barbara Helen (McGibbon) Fawcett

It is with great sadness that the family of Barbara Helen Fawcett, announce her passing on Sunday, June 3, 2018 at Nashoba Valley Medical Center. She was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts on September 7, 1934, a daughter of the late Alexander McGibbon and Dorothy E. (Boynes) McGibbon. She was a resident for the past 52 years of Pepperell, MA. Barbara was the loving wife of the late John J. Fawcett Sr., with whom she shared 42 years of marriage before his death in 1995.

Barbara's children were her pride and joy. She devoted her life to caring for them, before returning to work in 1984 for New England Business as an Accounts Receivable Clerk. She retired in 2006.

Barbara enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren whom she loved so very much, yearly vacations at the beach with her family, reading on her Kindle, and ordering from her favorite On-Line shopping network-QVC.  Barbara was also an avid New England Patriots fan.
