Read MoreI was checking the obits for information on another service when I came across 'Miss Covey's' obituary. She was my English teacher at Miraleste High in the early 70's. She was one of those rare teachers...someone you will remember fondly even 40 years later! She made a great impression on me and I certainly hope my grammar/sentence structure is correct here. My sincere condolences to her family.

Barbara provided much encouragement to me at the Seniors Writing Group during the writing of my WWII memoir. She will remain in my memory.

We knew Barbara for only a few years, but she became a wonderful, understanding friend. She was a great lady and will be missed.

Barbara was an inspiration to us all in the Peninsula Seniors Writers Group. Her gentle hand guided us in our efforts to become better people and better writers. Everyone who came in contact with her became her student...she was that kind of Lady.
