Barbara Christian Grubbs

I´ve known Mrs. Grubbs since I was 6 years old and growing up I was a close friend with her daughter, Beth. Mrs. Grubbs was always a gracious lady, with a soft southern voice, and a beautiful home where I always felt welcomed. I have many happy childhood memories playing in her home. Later she and my Mom worked together at Union Seminary and enjoyed each other´s company as colleagues. She had great faith in God. My love goes out to Beth, Chris and her entire family as they mourn her loss.

I´ve known Mrs. Barbara Grubbs and her late husband since my freshman year at Hampden-Sydney College. Chris, her son, and I started on the same dormitory hall there. Chris is a close friend of mine to this day. I´ve enjoyed Mrs. Grubbs company over the years. She raised a son who has the values that she had in thoughtfulness, generosity and friendship. I will miss Mrs. Grubbs loving spirit. God bless her and all her family.

We loved Barbara and are really going to miss her. I thank God that I knew her.

I knew Barbara while I was living in Richmond and attending Emmanuel. Such a sweet lady. Love and prayers to her family
