Barbara was a great person. She was such a kind and caring person and a fantastic teacher too. She was one of the most faith filled Christians that I knew. I was very blessed to have her on my team for years. I really enjoyed working with her at Timberlane Elem. and have such good memories of her. Our 3rd grade team was the best and she was a huge part of that. She had a great laugh and a wonderful sense of humor too. She will be missed. I will be praying for her and her family as well.
