Barbara Jean Otey

Sorry for your loss Kimberly, I know how much you loved her.

Mrs. Stroup was one of my favorite teachers. One couldn't have asked for a sweeter, kinder kindergarten teacher. Sincere sympathies to her family and friends.

I loved my Auntie Barb and have so many good memories of spending time with family in Knightstown and, later, with her in Indy when I was an adult. Much love to you all from our families.

I am very sorry for your family's great loss. I will remember her fondly and as a wonderful kindergarten teacher. She discovered that I was an avid lip reader and that I couldn't hear much and had to break the news to my parents. I'm sure it was as much a shock to her as it was for them and thanks to her we were able to get the medical attention needed. I will always remember her sense of calm, her humor and the love she had for her students.

Barb was a big part of my families life for many years. I have thought of her, Julie and Bruce many times throughout the years. Loved them all, it was a very special time while they were in my life, great memories, RIP Barb, love Dana
