Barbara Joan (Neil) Huzil

After a long battle with cancer, Barbara Joan Huzil of Lethbridge Alberta, in her 74th year, is finally at peace. She was surrounded by the love and warmth of her family in her final days.

Barb is survived by her three children, Torin (Tara) of Waterdown, Jennifer Ellis-Toddington (Riley) of Lethbridge and Tanis Sevrens (Josh) of Calgary and her much-loved and cherished grandchildren, Ellery and Blythe Huzil, Wyatt, Jake and Lilia Sevrens and Hayden, Owen and Reid Ellis-Toddington. She is also survived by her long-time loving partner Brian Ward, her sister Wendy and brother Bruce (Shonna).

Barb will be remembered for her warmth, patience and loving presence.  She was a treasured mother, grandmother, sister, partner and friend, whose non-judgmental ability to listen and care made her a trusted confidant.  Those lucky enough to know Barb, know how she made you feel…loved, accepted and truly special. We will forever remember her gentle smile and sparkling eyes.

Thank you for all the loving care provided by the staff at Jack Ady Cancer Clinic and the palliative care team, including Dr. Roth, Dr. Shukkoor and all the amazing staff of 4C at the Chinook Regional Hospital. Also, thanks to the Tom Baker team, including Dr. Cameron and Dr. de Groot.  A special note of thanks to Dr. Andrea Haner for the care and compassion she has provided throughout.

There will be no funeral service.  Her family will celebrate her life privately.

In lieu of flowers, on behalf of her loved furry and scaly grandbabies, Ash, Oreo, Fudgeeo, Mikey, Lemon, Philippe, Ocho and Bear-Bear, Barb asks that donation be made to the Alberta SPCA or the Last Chance Cat Ranch or a charity of your choice.
