Barbara and family moved to Lemoore in 1960. Growing up in the Island area, she went to Island School and graduated from Lemoore High School.

Barbara earned her BA degree and credential in teaching from CSU in Fresno. She then became an elementary teacher in Fresno Unified Schools teaching in the first and fifth grades. Barbara and her husband moved back to Lemoore to teach and it is there where Barbara was most recently a first grade teacher. Barbara s dedication to the art led her on to pursue and earn a master s degree in teaching. Seeing and hearing Barbara in the classroom was beyond amazing. She managed her classroom as she did her life with unsurpassed passion, dedication and love. So many learned so much from Barbara not only because of her strength and brilliance as a teacher but also from her brilliance and integrity as a person. People describe her, in letters and by mouth, as caring, funny, a family girl, inspiring, full of life and the most loving, giving and golden of hearts who would make people happy. Barbara had a special love for animals and was very insightful and intuitive with them. She was enamored all her life with horses and a totally dedicated and avid horse woman.
