Barbara Musty

Barbara Elaine (Rock) Musty of Royal Terrace, Palmerston, and formerly of Listowel, passed away on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, in her 83rd year.

Wife of the late Murray Musty.  Mother of Thomas Musty of London.  Sister of Arlene Sinnamon, Ken & Carol Rock, and Donna & Ken Tuffnail, all of Stratford, Erma & Doug Thompson of Goderich, Brenda Rock & Chuck Rundle  of Durham, Sandra Padbury of Chatham, and Brian & Donna Rock of Mitchell, sister-in-law of Joyce & Mark Davidson of Listowel, and loved and remembered also by her many nieces and nephews.  Predeceased by her parents Oscar and Eva (Harrison) Rock, brother Murray Rock, brothers-in-law Robert Sinnamon and Roy Padbury, and by her sons Dean and Shane Musty.

Barb was born on July 18, 1940 in Logan Township.  She and Murray were married on May 18, 1963.  They lived in many places, and Barb wore many different hats during her life.  She and Murray enjoyed working together on the farm, and then later, delivering rural mail.  She and her niece Trish Diniz were lucky to share a special bond, and Barb would refer to her as ‘the daughter she finally got to have’.  Barb and Murray loved their time at the cottage as well as their Calvary United Church family.
