Rock Hill, SC - Barbara Allaire Foote died on October 4, 2021 at the age of 96 in Rock Hill SC.
Barbara was born January 20, 1925 in Bristol CT and was the daughter of Calixte Allaire and Anna (Goetz) Allaire Wyrtzen. She graduated from Bristol High School and Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene in Boston MA. After marrying Lancel H. Foote, also of Bristol, they moved to Windsor CT where they lived for 33 years and raised their four children. Barbara worked as a dental hygienist in the Windsor area for most of her career. She had many lifelong friends from Windsor, none more special than her colleague from the dental office, Jan Provost. Barbara was a member of the First Congregational Church in Windsor. Upon retirement, she and Lancel moved to North Haverhill, NH and spent winters on Sanibel Island, FL. She was a charter member of the Sanibel Congregational United Church of Christ and participated in many charities for the children of Lee County Florida. Gardening, skiing, traveling and playing bridge with her friends were just a few of the ways that Barbara liked to spend her time. She enjoyed hiking in the White Mountains and fishing with friends on Sanibel. Her fondest memories were of trips to Europe with her children and grandchildren. Barbara was predeceased by her husband of 50 years, Lancel, and her brother, Robert Allaire.
She is survived by her sister-in-law, Lois Allaire and several nieces and nephews. She will be missed by her daughter and son-in-law, Marcia and Michael Fitzgerald of Lake Lure, NC, and her three sons and daughters-in law; Jonathan and Jennifer Foote of East Hartford, CT, Stephen and Patricia Foote of Leland NC, and Peter and Denise Foote of Windsor CT. Barbara thoroughly enjoyed her seven grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.
The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude and appreciation to the doctors, nurses, and the entire staff at Park Pointe Village in Rock Hill, SC. The professionalism, care, comfort, and compassion shown to Barbara and her family for twenty years was exemplary.
