Barbara was a strong influence for me when I was a Utah Tri-Delt. I appreciated the opportunity of working with her.

I will miss you so much, Barbara. I will always remember the great times we had in PEO, organizing your closet, changing out your seasonal wardrobe, and wrapping all those fun little presents for
your Millcreek friends. I love you !

Barbara was one of those special people who meant so much to so many. She was the first to welcome me to St. Paul's and introduce me to others by insisting I stay for coffee hour. I can't tell you how many people said the same thing when we were sharing tears at coffee hour this past Sunday after just learning of her death. She was a vibrant member of our parish and someone we will always remember fondly and miss terribly.

Barbara Stone was one of the first people I met at St. Paul's. She graciously introduced me to several other parishioners and did her best to make me feel welcome. She will certainly be missed here.

We loved having Barbara and Forrest as our neighbors on Juno Circle! The corner has never been the same (or as lovely!) since they left. I think of them both often!
