Barbara J. Tudor

Barbara Jean Tudor of New Harbor, Maine died peacefully on November 16, 2020 surrounded by her family. Barbara was born on June 25, 1932 in Brookline, Massachusetts and lived in many states throughout her life from Massachusetts to California and even abroad to England during her husband‘s Air Force career. She graduated in 1950 from Brookline High School where she met her future husband, Robert (Bob) Tudor. Barbara and Bob were queen and king of the prom during their senior year of high school. They were married almost 50 years. Barbara was also head cheerleader at Brookline High School. She worked in many non-profit organizations throughout her career - churches and most recently, she held the position of Executive Director of the Damariscotta Region Chamber of Commerce for about ten years, starting in 1988. She belonged to the Rotary Club during her career at the Chamber, and she enjoyed her membership with the New Harbor Fortnightly Ladies Group and attending the special luncheons at the Edgecomb Community Church. She loved Maine, and her home in New Harbor more specifically. Every time we pulled up to her driveway, she announced, I love my home so much. Barbara had a zest for life and very much loved socializing with everyone. She enjoyed knitting as a pastime, traveling, and most of all visiting and spending time with her family and 8 grandchildren/1 great grandchild. She looked forward to each summer gathering by the ocean with her family, enjoying good Maine seafood and good conversation with those close family members. Barbara is predeceased by her husband Robert Tudor, her father, Walter Ernest MacLeod and mother, Jenny Mosher MacLeod and her brother Walter Ernest MacLeod (Ernie). She is survived by four children, Robert (Colleen) Tudor, Virginia (Brian) Asmussen, Pauline Pavlis, and Charles (Joan) Tudor, her sister, Louise Hardina and brother, David (Marcia) MacLeod.

A special mention to her best friend since grade school, Ginny Moon and Gail Gifford, New Harbor -- her friend and "heaven on earth" angel.
