Vale Barbara Rosemary Haynes OAM
The Trustees and staff of the RMH Neuroscience Foundation extend our deepest condolences to David Johnston and the Haynes Family on the passing of their beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Barbara Haynes.
Barbara lived an active and impactful life. She will be fondly remembered for her dedication to helping others, supporting medical education and research through the Warren Haynes Neuroscience Research Fellowship since 1998.
With our thoughts and sympathies, we share the family obituary:
---
Terrific mother to Jen and Cath, widow of the late Warren Haynes, dearly beloved wife of David Johnston, much loved sister to Inge and Marg, Grannie to James, Will, Max, Celeste, and Lucy, favourite mother-in-law to Pete, and aunt to Ian, James, Geoff, and Liz.
She loved her family, her friends, and her Henkel Champagne (piccolo). A Friend of the Royal Melbourne Hospital, a Patron of RMH Music Therapy, sole benefactor of the Warren Haynes Fellowship at the RMH Neuroscience Foundation, and a Patron of Corpus Medicorum, Barbara was an inspiring philanthropist. She was a kind and wise woman, with a wicked sense of humour, she was widely loved and will be dearly missed.
Private Family Cremation and Memorial Service to be advised.
