Obituary of Mina Nono Barry
Mina R. Barry (NoNo) 1/1/1940 - 8/9/2013 Belfast Maine
Our family is heartbroken with the passing of Mina Roberts Barry. She was
born in Searsport, Maine to the late Margaret Davis Colcord and William J.
Roberts. She was predeceased by her ex-husband John Barry and her sister
Rita Collins. She leaves behind daughter Karen Paul, son in law Raymond Paul
Jr., grandson Stephen Paul of Belfast; son Stephen Barry, daughter in law
Michelle Barry and grandson Kyle Barry of Hampden; sister Wilma Berry of
Swanville; brother John Roberts and sister in law Ethlyn Roberts of
Appleton; sister Rhonda Colcord of Sun City FL; sister Rhoda Sutfin of
Swanville, and many nieces and nephews.
Mina's life revolved around her family. She loved her vacations with the
grandkids, holiday gatherings and various family celebrations. She always
looked forward to outings with the cousins and her numerous trips to the
slots with her sisters. Weekend sleepovers with Rhonda and Rhoda were also a
favorite. Hands down the love and light of NoNo's life were her two
grandsons Stephen and Kyle; they could do no wrong, and she wasn't afraid to
let you know it.
After living in Searsport her whole life, Mina spent the past 17 years
living in Bangor where she worked part time with her daughter at Maine
Development Associates and made many new friends. The last five months were
spent in Belfast where she was able to reconnect with numerous old friends
and share long visits with loved ones. We would like to say a special thank
you to all of the people who brightened her days with their visits and
provided her with rides to her many Doctor's appointments. Per Mina's wishes
there will be a private graveside ceremony at
Grove Cemetery on Saturday August 17, 2013 at 1:00pm. In lieu of flowers,
donations may be made Cancer Care of Maine. Arrangements are under the care
of Riposta Funeral Home 182 Waldo Ave. Belfast, ME 04915
