Barbara and I worked together on many
library projects through the our years with RISD. We both asked each when were we going to retire but we both kept going. She was a very special person sharing her time, money, and efforts to provide her students with all they needed. Thank you for sharing Barbara with me.
How sad to hear of Barbara’s passing. We were close friends as young girls in Richardson schools, but had only infrequent contact since. Ábout 4-5 years ago, we enjoyed a reunion with Lynne & Teddy (also girlfriends from RHS) with a weekend stay at the Stoneleigh Hotel. So sorry for her loss. My thoughts are with David and his family.
My sincere condolences to the Magar Family for your loss.
Barbara and I lived across the street from each other, and attended school together from about the 6th grade until my family moved to Louisiana in 1963. She was always so nice and such a sweet person.
I lost touch with Barbara after Graduationl, but often thought of her.
My sympathy to Barbara’s family.
Barbara and I were friends in high school and remained in contact, although sporadically. With in the last few years we renewed our friendship and even took a cruise to Alaska together about 3 years ago. I’m so glad we had that opportunity to spend time together. Barbara was a wonderful, caring person, and I will miss her.
