SPECHT,
Sr Barbara OP (Sr M. John)
Barbara died at Calvary Brighton Residential
Aged Care on
Saturday October 4 2025.

Our Holy Cross Congregation gives thanks for Barbara’s life lived with great fidelity, energy and creativity. An educator, school leader, artist and archivist, she earned the respect and affection of many with whom she
worked in various ministries throughout her long life.

We will miss her gentle presence, her commitment to our Dominican community, her interest in each one of us, and her wonderful sense of humour.

We offer our prayerful sympathy to Barbara’s sister, Ruth Taylor, and express our deep gratitude to the staff
of Calvary Brighton for the
care and support offered
to Barbara.

“Sleep, beloved,
in the God of life”
