Barbara Fekete's Obituary
Barbara Fekete (86) departed this world on April 25, 2021, under the care of Hospice Maui and surrounded by her loving friends. Barbara was born in Hungary. She was preceded in death by her husband, Joe, and daughter, Catherine, and survived by a brother, Frank (90), in Hungary. Barbara was a middle school history and geography teacher for only a year and a half. After the 1956 revolution, she left Hungary with her husband to be, Joe. They got married in Vienna, and after two years in a refugee camp, they had sailed to Canada (Toronto), where they lived for 22 years. For seventeen years, Barbara worked for the Bank of Toronto, and in 1979, she and her family moved to Maui, where they were managing their vacation rental business for sixteen years.
Barbara loved to travel and visited several European countries, including Germany, Austria, France, Slovakia, and Switzerland, but her dream to ride the Orient Express never came true.
Barbara was always there to give a helping hand, whoever needed it, and she gave it with a generous heart.
In lieu of flowers or other gifts, please consider donating to Hospice Maui, an amazing organization providing an excellent service to our community.
