Miss Funnell, as I will always remember her, taught both my boys in kindergarten at Jackson Elementary, she was quiet, kind and gentle in her approach to teaching. In later years I saw Barbara quite often as I worked at Holy Family where she so graciously greeted and helped visitors . She always remembered my son's names and asked how they were doing, that was so sweet. My heartfelt sympathy.

Barb was a wonderful teacher and coworker at Riverview school. She was a great mentor, showing compassion and caring for everyone she came in contact with. Loved running into her at Holy Family where she always greeted you with a smile. She will be missed.
