Barbara S. Lindsey

Montgomery - Barbara S. Lindsey, 79, died January 12, 2021 peacefully at her home in Montgomery, Ohio.

Barbara was born in 1941 in Cincinnati, Ohio to her parents, Henry and Edith Herget. After graduating from Anderson High School, Barbara continued her education at Hanover College and graduated with a major in Elementary Education.

After completing her degree and raising her children, Barbara dedicated her life to teaching. For over 20 years, Barbara taught language arts and social studies to sixth graders at Pleasant Hill Elementary School and, after retiring, served as a substitute teacher at Montgomery Elementary School.

After retirement, Barbara enjoyed gardening, writing, planning cultural events for her community, and attending performances sponsored by the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and the Blue Ash Summer Concert Series.

Barbara was a member of the Clifton Cultural Arts Center, the City of Montgomery Arts Commission, and the Montgomery Woman's Club.

Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Edith Herget, and her beloved uncle and aunt, Edward and Jeanne Herget. Barbara is survived by her son Marc (Yvonne) of Virginia; daughter Sarah (Chris) of Iowa; beloved grandson Benjamin (Graham); dear friends Bob and Maria; and many other very dear friends.

Memorials may be sent to Montgomery Elementary School and the City of Montgomery Arts Commission. The family will have a celebration of Barbara's life at a later date.

I just saw a Facebook "name the best teacher you ever had post". I immediately thought of the impact Mrs. Lindsay had on my life back in 1984 and how that impact carried forward. I immediately Googled and saw this. I am so sad. I hadn't seen her in forever. I loved her.

I knew Barbara for many years, and we always had a good relationship. She could be lots of fun and was a wonderful person.

Mrs. Lindsey was my language arts teacher at Pleasant Hill Elementary School. She would read my stories aloud to the class and encouraged me to be writer, which is what I do professionally today, more than 40 years later. Thank you for believing in me, Mrs. Lindsey.
