AGNES-MARY BARRY 1923-1979 Agnes-Mary Barry will be remembered as a unique and wonderful wife and mother, a competent and compas- sionate professional, and a great lady whose life was marked by grace and dignity. The greater part of the last seven months of Mrs. Barry’s life has been a victory for the human spirit against the greatest odds. Her life is exemplified in a moving passage from Michener’s Chesapeake. A young scholar is seach- ing for the source of the great river which becomes the spacious bay, then the ocean itself. And to his surprise, he finds a lovely meadow with no mysteriously gushing wa- ter, but simply an accumulation from many unseen sources, like a gathering together of meaning. Mrs. Barry shall forever be like that lovely meadow, accumulating strength, courage, and wisdom from unseen sources and sharing them. Then for a generation of young people, she was like the river which flowed from that meadow. “There you are,’’ the young explorer said, “beautiful river, the holder of secrets.’’ She knew all their names, which was her way of expressing their uniqueness and value as peo- ple. They told her their secrets, which was their way of expressing trust in her integrity and faith in her judge- ment. She brought meaning without parallel to the role of parent and nobility to her profession. Since our lives are the sum of many moments, those who knew her will be struck, in the days and years to come, by certain special memories of her: the gathering of a close and loving fam- ily, good food and conversation among dear friends, where there is loyalty among colleagues, where nothing short of one’s best is acceptable, where justice is unself- ish, whenever citizenship and character are prized, always where there is excellence, always where there is laughter. Shakespeare understood the human heart and so his words express this tribute to Agnes-Mary Barry: When she shall die, Take her and cut her out in little stars, And she shall make the face of Heaven so fine, That all the world will be in love with night.
