Barbara attended Northern Oklahoma College in Tonkawa, OK, and was installed as Grand Immortality of the Rainbow Girls in 1957. She graduated from Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva, OK, with a degree in Education.
She worked for TWA reservations and was married to Jerauld Lee Glasgow. During this time, she taught school in Kansas, before working in the University of Virginia Law Library, where her lifelong love of books bloomed.
Barbara moved to New Jersey and raised 3 children. Later, she returned to college and earned an Advanced Certificate as a Media Center specialist and took a job at Branchburg Stony Brook Elementary School. She was also a volunteer for Branchburg Rescue Squad.
When she retired from teaching, Barbara returned to Oklahoma to spend time with her sister in Oklahoma City and her cousins on the Caughlin farm, a place and family she loved dearly. She taught Sunday school and attended Quail Springs Baptist Church in Oklahoma City and was a big-time fan of the OKC Thunder.
Barbara was an incredible mom and a great and true friend. She loved to gab with anyone and everyone. Her joy and love were uncontainable. She had a great companion and charming Chihuahua, Lucky, that accompanied her everywhere. She was a collector of all things, furniture, china, stamps, coins, dishes and baskets. She continued to make new friends and kept long-term friendships from school, college, neighbors, church and her many places of employment. She will live in our hearts forever and missed deeply.
‘We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth. There is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will be spread out before us like islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beings that pass before us like the shadows, will stay in our presence forever.’ Bulwer
