Not sure what to say?

Aunt Barbara was the gentlest soul I have ever known. She always had a sweet smile and a kind word. I was very blessed to be her nephew.

I love you Aunt Barbara, thank you for all you´ve done for our family. I will see you soon enough.

I was so sad to hear of Barbara's passing. I was a new teacher and worked right next to Barbara's classroom for many years. She was always so helpful with my many questions, always with a smile. She truly loved teaching and her students. The students really enjoyed her singing and piano playing! Condolences to her family. She will be missed.♡

I remember Barbara as a young lady attending Richvale EV Free Church. Then she became one of my sons 5th grade teacher at Princeton Elementary. Later both of us attended Neighborhood Church with family. Our paths crossed many times and she was one of the dearest and sweetest ladies I’ve known. Last visited with her at Jerry Southam’s service reception. She had a strong faith in her Lord.

Barbara Rice was not only my dear Aunt that allowed me to grow up in her home with her dear children (my cousins) but she was my 5th grade teacher at Cadora School.
I loved my Aunt Barbara and my classmates, friends and family all adored her. She was a disciple of The Lord Jesus, I experienced her strong faith as she exemplified it her entire life.
My Aunt Barbara provided an example of unconditional love, grace & mercy for all to learn from.
She was a phenomenal Teacher,...

I went to school with Barbara in Princeton. She was a class ahead of me. So sorry to read of her passing. I became a teacher as well. The world has lost a beautiful lady.
