Barbara completed her Primary Education at the Lincoln Grade School in Sedalia, Missouri (which later changed the name to Hubbard) and graduated from Hubbard High School.
Barbara attended the Sharon Chapel S.D.A. Church in Sedalia and was in good and regular standing. She was actively involved in the Church as the Sabbath School Superintendent and Church Clerk as well as outreach missions until her illness prevented her from participating. She loved God.
