I'm wondering whether this Barbara Ferguson was our Social Studies teacher at Lincoln High School in Wisconsin Rapids. She was an excellent teacher: she challenged us to think. She was a lovely, gracious woman of integrity and faith. She and Mr. Carlson led our off-site student Bible studies.

We are so sorry to hear of Barb´s passing. And more sorry that we have not kept in touch with her of late. Barb was such a special lady, always positive and always a smile. We enjoyed times when she would join our family, Aunt Karen and Mom loved her. Our sympathy to the family.

Barb and my Aunt Dot played softball together when they were young. Barb was a loving family friend and will be missed.

Barb was such a lovely woman! She subbed for us at Lincoln High School, and quickly became one of my "go to" people; she was willing to try anything. She was a kind, thoughtful person. I remember her bringing in newspaper clippings and photos of her when she was a member of the Girls' Professional Baseball League! Please accept my deepest condolences.
