Barbara (Morey) McCarthy, formerly of Swansea, passed away on Sunday, April 21, 2019 at Catholic Memorial Home at age 85 after a long battle with Parkinsons Disease. She was the wife of the late John E. McCarthy, Jr. They were married for 63 years. Born in Acushnet, she was the daughter of the late Hartley and Diana (St. George) Morey. She spent most of her childhood in Central Falls and Providence, RI with her four siblings. She graduated from Hope High School in Providence and The Katherine Gibbs School. After raising six children, a feat in itself, she returned to the workforce to build a successful career as a secretary and advertising coordinator for Allied Signal in Pawtucket, RI, where she worked until her retirement in 1991. Her children and grandchildren will remember her best for her beautiful garden, and her penchant for feeding and caring for any animal that happened to wander into it. She loved the winters she spent on Sanibel Island in Florida, surrounded by family and the seashells she collected during walks on the beach.
