SHERMAN – Barbarba passed unexpectedly November 15, 2014. She was the loving daughter of Thomas & Eleanor (Morgan) Watters, both deceased.
She was with her husband, Daniel McAvoy of Benedicta, for 30 years and raised their three daughters. Serena Jo left her 10 years ago December 8 and never left her heart or mind all those years. They had two hard-working, beautiful daughters, Alicia McNally and Brittany McAvoy. Both are great nurses and love to help people. Barbara was very proud of all her girls, family, beloved dog Beanie Jo. She survived many hardships and was strong enough to become the wonderful woman, wife, mother, sister and daughter. She will be greatly missed by all, as well as her great cooking, and we as her daughters will try to carry on the good cooking. She loved to go for the night with her daughters from time to time and had some good times and good friends, Trish King and her significant other, Roland Verrier, and Beth and Guy Rogan at karaoke. She really enjoyed sitting down and listening to her daughter Brittany sing a beautiful song. Though she was here on earth for 64 years, it just doesn’t seem long enough.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by her daughters, Alicia McNally and her husband, Kenny, two step-daughters, Natalee and Sofia; also her daughter, Brittany McAvoy of Sherman; her sister, Betty Charleton and her husband, Harold Charleton of Orono, Earl Morgan and his wife, Janice Sherman. She is survived by her husband, Daniel’s mother, Margaret McAvoy of Benedicta, and Daniel’s predeceased siblings, Anna, Mary and Linda, and also his other living brothers and sisters, Betty, Edward, Patricia, Leo and their husbands, wives and children; many nieces, nephews and friends in addition to close friends, Donna Nadeau, Charlotte Sardina, longtime friends, Harry and Kay, and all her camping friends.
