Not sure what to say?

My condolences to the Hibner family. ALthough I did not know Barbara, I did know her brother, Gary. We were in the same class when he attended school in Littlestown, PA. It would be nice to hear from him after all these years.

Barbara leaves behind a legacy.....a true leader for young people to honor.....bless her family and friends who will miss her dearly.

To Barbara's family, We are so saddened by Barbara's passing. We are thankful to have known Barbara and to have received her many acts of kindness. We are among so many that share in your grief. Sent on behalf of the family of Karen A. Knortz

Barb was such a hard worker and always took time to answer my questions or help me out with a project. I'll always remember working on the 10 year anniversary of Women's Sports with Barb. I was in College back then and a student employee of the Athletic Department. Barb always made me feel like I mattered and had something valuable to offer the Department. She will be missed!

To the family of Barb Hibner:
Barb's contribution to the University of Nebraska will be long remembered. We had a business relationship and I would see Barb on the average of once or twice a year. Even so, it was very apparent that Barb worked very hard and sought perfection in all she did. She will be missed not only for her works, but also for her fun loving spirit. My condolences to her family.

Barb...thank you for all you contributed to UNL,the State of Nebraska and the mentoring of thousands of young people.

I had the privilege of working with Dr Hibner on the renovation of the coliseum for the women's volleyball team about 17 yrs ago. Her heart and soul was devoted to the continued improvement of women's athletics and was a true Husker. Her sincerity and compassion should be an example for all of us to follow. My sympathy to her family.
