I'm so sorry for your loss. Barbara was one of my many second mothers on Maple Drive. Many great memories of our mothers' friendship, time spent at the pool, and hanging out in Barbara's backyard.

I'm truly sorry for your loss. She was a legend in the school system! My sister had her as a teacher, I had her as my 5th grade teacher and my daughter had the great pleasure of having her as a substitute teacher just a few years ago. She was the sweetest lady and after 30 years still recognized me as her former student. Rest in peace Mrs. Leeber

I knew Barbara as a neighbor and as a teacher when my sons were in elementary school. She had such a pleasant personality and warm smile. I am remembering the family in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear of Barbara's passing. She was a lovely lady. We met at Flinn when I began teaching there 20 plus years ago. She had subbed for me some and would always stop by to say hello whenever she was at Flinn. Barbara would frequently bring cookies by to share with us. She touched many lives!
