I'm Barby Harwell. I met Barbara in 2011 at my Dad's Dartmouth Reunion. My Dad was Jim Towsen. My brother and sister also had the pleasure of meeting Barbara. We continued going through 2016. Barbara was a warm and loving lady, Just like a Mom. Barbara and I continued communicating throughout the years. I loved hearing about her family, whom she loved dearly and so proud of.
Barbara will surely be missed.

Just learned of Barbara´s passing. She reminded me so much of my Mom. Loved her newspaper columns & admired her deep Faith. God bless, strengthen & comfort her daughters & family. She was a woman ahead of her time & had a great life.
