I remember Barbara very well from my Snow College years! I worked with her in the Admissions Office. After I left Snow College, she welcomed a friend of mine and me into her home overnight when we visited for the Manti Pageant. I remember her smile and her humor, her strong work ethic and compassion. I am so blessed to have known and worked with her.
