Barbara attended school at UMKC and it was there she earned her teaching degree. She taught physical education at Lillis High School before landing her career at Van Horn High School.

They were married on March 29, 1972 and spent 49 glorious years making memories. Together they enjoyed golfing and their annual trips to Bella Vista, Arkansas with dear friends. Barbara made many friends throughout her adventures and kept a close connection with those from her sorority Beta Sigma Phi. Amongst many other things she will be remembered for her crafting. She’d create beautiful floral arrangements for weddings and custom cards for friends and family on every occasion. Barbara was very proud of her designs.
