She earned her bachelor's degree at Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, KY and continued her education by earning her master's degree at Xavier University in Cincinnati. Barbara taught 4th grade at Lawrenceburg Primary school from 1969 – 1984. She then went on to drive a truck with her husband, Richard, until 1991. It was her dream to drive to all 48 states and all the provinces in Canada, so they sold their house and a bought a truck. She personally logged about 800,000 miles and was able to achieve her dream. After that she earned her LPN license and became a home health nurse. Married to Richard for 41 years, Barbara started out as his babysitter. It was when he caught her cheating at the card game Rook that he knew he loved her.
Barbara will be deeply missed by her husband Richard, daughter Cheryl Haag & son-in-law Andrew Miller, grandchildren Danielle & Drew Haag, as well as her siblings Inez Combs, Bill Garner, and Betty Pierce. She is preceded in death by her brothers Roy & CP Garner. A service will be held at a later date in her hometown of Nancy, KY.
