Joanna LINCOLN Obituary

LINCOLN, Joanna Ann

It comes with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Joanna Lincoln on the 5th December 2025 aged 49 years.

Loving and devoted mum to Olivia (dec) Charlee and Marcus (dec). Jo was the loving daughter of George and Beverly LINCOLN. A much loved sister to Brenda and Tracy and proud Aunty to all her nieces and nephews.

Jo served with great pride as a member of the NSW Police Force for 28 years and will be greatly missed by her former colleagues and friends. Her strength generosity and love has shaped us all. Our lives are richer because of her but will never be the same without her. The memories she created and leaves behind will stay with us forever in our hearts. Jo will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

There will be a funeral service for Jo at Camelia Chapel Macquarie Park Cnr Delhi and Plassey Rd North Ryde on 19 December 2025 at 1.30pm. All family friends and former colleagues are invited to attend.

Thursday 18 September 2025 @ 11.15am

I’d let you know that I had received very sad information that Narrandera Former GD’s Police Officer Reg No. 13736, Riverina RFPA Member ID 77 Kevin Barber had been admitted into Wagga Base Hospital for a major operation a couple of weeks ago for brain tumors and then taken a turn for the worst after a fall & they had discovered a brain bleed & clot.
Sadly, there was nothing they could be done and he was placed in palliative care but sadly he passed away at 10.30pm last night. ( Wednesday 17 September 2025 ).
I have informed Ian Moore, as the NSW RFPA Welfare officer and also the NSW RFPA Secretary Ian Lovell and I will update when I receive any further updates in relation to service details.
