REMEMBERING BARB
Barb Schieber passed away Friday evening. She was a pillar in our church during the early days. She was one of our best teachers and was always working with the children’s ralleys we had back then. Barb was a tireless perfectionist who always did it “right”. She was a stately lady who mentored my wife in many ways.
I remember when she decided to retire from teaching children. I tried to talk her into staying, but she was a pioneer. She observed so many young women in the church deferring to her, and she knew no one would step up to becoming a teacher as long as the “older women” were doing it all. So she stepped aside and forced some younger, not so experienced, ladies to gain the experience they needed for the future of the church. This classy lady later struggled with Parkinson’s disease that stripped her of her functionality, but never her faith. I will miss Barb. What will you remember about Barb Schieber?
