Yarmouth — Barbara (Partridge) Dyer, 89, died March 15.

She was born in Somerville, Mass., on Feb. 7, 1920, the daughter of Ashley W. and Jennie Maud Partridge.

Her favorite childhood memories included spending time in Blue Hill with her family, sailing on the Vagabond and relaxing on the beach.

She married Vernelle “Cappy” Dyer on Oct. 17, 1950, and together raised three children in an old farmhouse in Yarmouth.
