Violet Peggy Barney

Prayers to all of Vi's family. I worked with Vi at St. Mark's Hospital for many years. She always had a smile on her face and had a positive attitude. I know .she will be greatly missed..

Vi, or as I always knew her, "Barney" was my nursing supervisor on GW at St Mark's Hospital. I was sooooooo lucky to have her, especially since this was my first job as a nurse! She was so good at putting me at ease and feeling comfortable. Her job was unique because she had to manage the Psychiatry Unit on one side and the Med/Surgery Unit on the other side of one floor! She was always available to the entire staff. This had to have been a challenge wearing "two different hats" for one job. She did this with style, grace and knowledge. I always knew we could count on her! She was a hands-on type of boss; she daily could be seen out helping her staff with patients. I respected her greatly as a boss, but more importantly as a person. I will always cherish the memories of the Christmas parties at the Barney home, the fun girls' nights out and her fun sense of humor. She always spoke fondly about her boys! Scott, David, Mark and her biggest boy, Bob! It was obvious how much she loved each one of you and how proud she was just to be your mother and wife! I send my deepest thoughts and prayers to you at this most difficult time, but know she is near by and loving you and will be waiting with open arms to see you again someday.

Bob, we are so very sorry for your loss. Vi was one of the most beautiful souls we ever met. She was loved by all fortunate enough to have known her. Love to you, Eric & Marsha
