Barbara Woodman Daigneault, left this earthly life after 71 years on Sunday, August 13th with her family at her side.
Barbara was the youngest of three daughters born to Wilton Francis And Mary Wahlen Woodman. Her bright light came into this world on April 9th, 1952 in Middletown, Connecticut. Barbara, even from a young age, cared for those around her very deeply.
After graduating from Middletown High School, she went on to travel the world and explore life. In 1978, fate landed her in Houston, Texas where in mid-February 1979 she walked into a job interview and met the love of her life, Michael Daigneault. They were destined to be together and married 6 short weeks later on March 30, 1979.
In the following 44+ years, they built a beautiful life together. In Houston, TX, they welcomed their first born daughter, Elisabeth Esther, and then in East Hampton, Connecticut, they welcomed their second daughter, Kimberly Adrian. In 1994, they moved South and settled their family next to the ocean in Surf City, North Carolina.
Barbara lived for her family and loved being a wife, mother, and grandmother more than anything in this world. She adored her daughters and her grandchildren, Noah Michael, born 2002 and Lila Gayle, born 2013. Barbara delighted in gardening- from caring for her garden of children and grandchildren to working in her yard and tending her houseplants. She also loved walks with their beloved dog, Gator.
Barbara is survived by her husband, children, grandchildren and also her sister; Elisabeth Williams, husband, Clayton, and son, Clay (wife Magaly & daughter Arianna).
