Barbara A. Wills
Sometimes our fondest memories of someone are based on what seems like an inconsequential event, but it's often the little things that stick with us. Barb taught me how to throw horseshoes during a visit about 35 years ago. I thought of her this summer while at an outdoor wedding reception where one of the activities was horseshoes! I will miss Barb and hope everyone is doing alright.
Barb was a dear friend. Her smile was always welcome in my office. We were the Early Birds at school and often shared good times and not so good times with our morning coffee. I have many gifts that she has given me through the years that remind me of her and her wishes to give to others. She was very good to me and I will miss her. Marilyn

Darlene, Bev, Mildred, Gene, and families, My thoughts and prayers are with you as we grieve Barb's passing. For those of you who don't recognize my name, I am Barb's cousin (Ralph & Kay Huffman's daughter). I will always remember my last visit with Barb, at my mom's funeral. She was a fun person! Love, Marcia Stoever
Aunt Bev, I love you and if there is anything that I can do let me know. I remember when I saw her last year in my living room laughing and smiling. I don't remember ever seeing her not smile. She will be missed very much. Tricia and Nacho
Dar and family members, I taught with Barb until her retirement. I think she had taught second grade a tad too long, her behavior was often much like the children's. Barb had a twinkle in her bright blue eyes and a bounce and a skip in her step. A playful nature. Barb knew her students well. She was a tireless teacher, working for every child. I always enjoyed teaching with her and learning from her. Barb was my kind, supportive, positive friend.
I had the pleasure of teaching for many years with Barb. Barb, Beth Danz and I had some pretty good times at Garfield and Franklin. She was a collaborator of the first order, a profound influence on many children and a joy to teach with. I really liked Barb, as did many other people. She will be missed. Please accept my condolences on the loss of your life partner, sister and aunt. She was a special person. With regards, Linda
