Barbara Tacy

I am so sorry to hear this. I saw Barbara for a year over twenty years ago. Maybe I wasn't ready for her help at that time, as I left. But I never forgot her. I was googling her name to refer a friend to her......my deep condolences to her family. Her life was one well-lived.

A belated entry; things speed up a you age and some important items left unnoticed, but in my case it is inevitable that i make discoveries. I uaed to baby sit for the Tacy children while enrolled at Buxton and Peter was not only an English teacher of mine but a confidant. Barbara was an intelligent self-driven woman, cut from the 60s mold, open minded and willing to share her personal experience in life with others. She and Peter complimented each other, as he was gregarious and charismatic....

Dear Peter,

I remember you and Barbara so well. I took a child development class with her that made a deep impression on me. So kind and so smart! Condolences to you, Chris and Will.

Dear Peter, I hope you find some comfort in knowing how many people cared about Barbara and care about you. You and your family were sources of inspiration to me as I made my way at Buxton and beyond, and I am so grateful to have known you and Barbara. Sincerely, Emelie Kenney (Buxton teacher, 1974-1977)

Barbara was a wonderful woman. She had wisdom, intelligence, spunk, intuition and a kind of economic energy which was inspiring.
She never failed to know when I needed a few hours away from being a dorm resident and she and Peter would have me over for an afternoon or for supper. These 'mini vacations' proved to be very restorative.

I'll never forget her telling me how she dealt with sales people appearing at their door in the red house; a mature, woman with two children and a busy...

I just read this today. I am so happy I spent time with Barbara and Peter Tacy last year, exactly a year ago today! She had a unique gift of of encouraging self discovery. She appreciated unique qualities in everyone; being around her made me feel special❤
She was a wonderful mentor and friend. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I had Barbara for a Child Psychology class in my senior year at The Marvelwood School. She was a very interesting teacher and a really nice lady. Peter, I am truly sorry for your loss.

Deepest condolences Peter from my family to yours.
