Born April 22, 1941, Barbara grew up in North Kansas City, MO, where she attended North

Gladstone, they enjoyed attending church, dancing, and playing golf and cards with friends.

While raising their four children, Barbara began attending Penn Valley Community College in

Kansas City, MO, ultimately earning her Associate’s degree in Computer Science. She then

applied her newly-acquired skills in the corporate world at such well-known companies as
