Barbara was born to administer to the education and spiritual development of children. As a child, she always knew she would grow up and have many children of her own and that she would become a teacher. As an adult, she married and had 9 children and became the teacher she always knew she would be. In addition, Barbara was a foster parent and a founder of Foster Care Association of Missouri, and a counselor in Juvenile Court with runaway and homeless teens. Barbara has been a student of Unity teachings for many decades and brings a wealth of life long learning and experience to our Youth Ministry. In her spare time, she visits her numerous children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren!
