Barbara K. Beesley

I remember Barbara from the Manse
group we attended where she met Ed John and Ann's father back in
50's at First Presbyterian church
in East Cleveland.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Ann and John. I worked with your mother at Andrews when she was Assistant Head and I was Dean of Girls. I was glad when she returned and headed the school. I found my association with her to be very rewarding both personally and professionally.

Barbara was my mom's best friend for as long as I can remember. My family and I were lucky to be a part of her life. I know how much we will miss her, and how much my mom will miss her closest friend.

Barbara and my mom were best friends nearly my entire life. She was like a member of our family and will be deeply missed.

Barbara and I were friends at Andrews, both times that she was there. She was great to work with and for.

Barbara and I were friends for 38 years; we taught together at Laurel; our children grew up together; on occasion, we traveled together. I will sorely miss her.

I had Mrs. Beesley as an English teacher at Laurel and I really enjoyed her class! I still remember some of the short stories we read and her red hair... My condolences to the family--"BKB" was a great lady and influential teacher!

My thoughts and prayers go out to Barbara's family. Though I only knew Barbara for a short time, she started our Nauset Newcomer's Singles Book Discussion group. This group has continued, but we will sadly miss her inspirations and guidelines for books to discuss
