Barbara Cram, known as Barb, passed away in her sleep, her puppy Maggie by her side, on April 10 in Courtenay, B.C.
Barb joined the Immigration Foreign Service in 1972, having obtained her BA (History) from the University of Saskatchewan and her BLS (Library Science) from the University of Alberta. She completed her overseas training in Yugoslavia before embarking on a two-year posting to New Delhi. Barb returned to Canada only to spend many months in a tropical disease ward in a Montreal hospital. Soon after completing French-language training, she resigned from the Foreign Service to attend the College of Law at the University of Saskatchewan. She practiced law in rural Saskatchewan before establishing a decade-long practice in Regina. While in Regina, Barb spent many years as a member of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications cried out, “Hi, it’s me, Barb, come down to the pool for a drink and meet the others.” She was a very special person to all who knew her.
Remembered by Kurt Jensen, a retired Foreign Service Officer and university colleague.
