Barbara Ann Sears, 76, of East Dennis passed away on Tuesday, October 17^th, in the presence of her family. Born and raised in South Hadley, MA,  Barbara worked as a dedicated psychiatric nurse for more than 18 years with the Dept. of Mental Health.  In 1972 Barbara moved with her two young children to Cape Cod and helped to found the Cape’s first mental health residence facilities.

 A true wash ashore who loved her seaside home, Barbara was a dedicated and loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She enjoyed many sunny days on Mayflower Beach, boating with family, and her favorite pastime: boasting about her grandchildren.

Barbara is survived by her loving husband and partner in crime, of more than 45 years, Paul Sears, her daughter Christine Gent, son and daughter-in-law, James and Charlene Watson, and her beautiful grandchildren: Brian, Alexandra, Dillon, Gabrielle, and great-grandbaby Raelynn.
