I have wonderful memories of having Miss Barbour (and Miss Mott) as teachers at Fairmont West. I am class of 1968, so we were all young back then! I remember especially the discussions that Miss Barbour led in our girls health class. As a young teen, this was a safe space for me to learn about many new facts and ideas.
My deepest sympathies to the family on your loss.
Barb Stager will be remembered by many for for her genuine caring and her ability to connect with her students. It always gave me a warm feeling when I would see her at church and she remembered me.
In His love,
Kris (MacCagno) Martin
