I worked with Barbara for many years. She was always devoted to her work, kind to the children she worked with and a great team member. Barbara loved music and she attended many concerts and  liked to read. Barbara was a very fine person.

Barbara was a teaching colleague of mine. She cared deeply about children and was always open to new ideas. She was kind and generous.

Barbara and I worked together at JDS for several years toward the tail end of her career there. While I was a newbie and she a veteran teacher, we always had a connection talking about the students and more. She cared deeply for the students. I am so sorry for your family’s loss, she was a true gem.

Mrs. Ascher was my kindergarten teacher a long long time ago.  Everybody loved her!

Barbara became my sister-in-law on December 29, 2023, when I married her sister, Ellen Karen Savran. Yet, I had known Barbara since the late 1970's when she and my late wife, Brenda Coran, became the closest of friends.   Barbara, Harry, Brenda and I went out as couples countless times over the years.  In later years, as my wife dealt with physical impairments, Barbara was always attentive to her and brought her sweet gifts.  I was in awe by the countless occasions when people of all ages approached Barbara, with a smile, and recognized her as their teacher or the teacher of a family member. Brenda has taken much knowledge with her but left even more behind to pass from generation to generation.
