Barbara dedicated herself to raising her children while they were young, staying home, or working part time jobs with "mother's hours".  She furthered her education by earning a bachelor's degree in education from Plymouth State College when the kids were a bit older.  Barbara taught for over 20 years at Blue Mountain Union School in Wells River.  While working she earned at master's degree from Lyndon State College and continued working toward her PhD until her retirement.  Barbara was very proud of being honored as the VT State Reading Teacher of the Year.  In retirement Barbara focused on being the best quilter she could be, displaying and selling her work at local craft fairs, but, above all else she enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren.
