Joanne Purrington

For years, Barry Purrington has been one of Minnesota's top players and top nice guys.  Sadly, however, this week our bridge community has suffered another untimely loss.  Barry's wife, Joanne, died Sunday at age 62.

Please share with me in extending our deep condolences to Barry, his daughter Elena and the rest of their family for their loss of a very lovely lady.  Funeral arrangements can be found with the White Funeral Homes here.  You can also refer to Joanne's Star Tribune obituary.

I am looking for a Barry N. Purrington who went to OCS at Ft.Knox in 1966.

Hi Barry,

I am very sorry to hear of your loss (and even more sorry that I am learning of this years later).

You are one of the best friends I made in Minnesota, and I would truly love to reconnect. Please drop me a line at [email protected], and I hope to hear from you soon!

Tom
