We were deeply saddened to learn of Barb's passing. We have been good friends with the Arter Family(mainly John & Kim) for most of our lives. Barb led a meaningful life and brought a lot of joy to all those around her. With her warm smile and calm demeanor she and Dick raised three active and successful sons and their families. Barb was highly respected by her colleagues while teaching at OVMS. Her students also appreciated her kind understanding during their challenging times as 6th graders. We won't forget the wonderful memories we made with Barb. Her family took great care of her so she was able to have the long life that she did. We hope this gives them solace in their loss.
