Special prayers for the Cope family! I remember Mr. Garrett taught drama @ Carver Elementary School! in 1952 he made me a blue taffeta dress & chose me to be a ballerina in a school play ! I felt real special & will always remember his kindness to me!

I give thanks to God for blessing us with Barbara, who with her husband, Garrett, both sought to bring out the best in every student and in everyone with whom they collaborated. Their contributions to young and old alike are much appreciated. They were truly a joy to be with and work with and an inspiration to us all. Their legacy lives in our efforts to bring out the best in each other, and in our working together to make our world better. May God grant them eternal rest, and peace to...

Sincere condolences to Barbara's family during your grief. I have loving memories of a wonderful person who will always be loved and missed. Barbara was an initiator, mentor, and role model for many whom she encountered. Talking with her after Mass at St Augustine's Church was always delightful. RIH Barbara.

Mrs. Cope was my speech teacher at Pulaski Jr. High. She was always kind and caring, giving words of praise and confidence when needed. She also, would put on some really entertaining student plays!

To the family, my condolences. Mrs. Cope, to me was a beautiful person. Mr. Cope taught me at Carver School. Two very talented people. To teach, expected us to learn. She had patience with you as a student, respected you as an adult seeking knowledge. She will be missed. GOD bless you family.

Condolences to the entire family. A gentle giant, leaving precious memories, will be missed by many.
