Obituary for Barbara J. Hayes (Martin)

Barbara was born in Worcester daughter of the late Norman H. and Alice M. (Kender) Martin. She graduated from Sacred Heart Academy. Barbara married Edmond P. Hayes in 1951 and together they raised their family in Shrewsbury. They were married for 57 wonderful years before Edmond died in 2008.
Barbara was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She also played an active role in most of the neighborhood children’s lives and cared for many of them as their parents worked. She was a member of the neighborhood sewing circle and was a parishioner of Saint Anne’s Parish.
Barbara loved cooking and celebrating all the holidays especially Thanksgiving when she would be surrounded by her entire family. She
always made her annual trip to the Scallop Festival on Cape Cod in September and enjoyed vacationing at York Beach in Maine.
She leaves her children, Barbara A. Whittemore and her husband, Andrew of Shrewsbury, Janice G. Haines of Hopkinton and Edmond P.

Martin, Jr, of Redlands, CA; also survived by several nieces and nephews. A sister, Beverly Ludovico and son-in-law Gary R. Haines predeceased her.
