She was born August 23, 1915, in Post Mills, Vermont. Her parents were the Rev. Leland E. Tupper and Laura Lois Chamberlin Tupper. Barbara spent the first eight years of her childhood in Vermont before moving with her family to Hiawatha, Kansas, where she graduated from Hiawatha High School in 1932. She received a degree from the University of Kansas in 1938 and began teaching in a Brown County, Kansas, country school. She married Paul E. George of Hiawatha in 1940. He preceded her in death in 1964. During the years of World War II, she was the Brown County Welfare Director and assisted many families through those difficult times. In addition to her experience of teaching at Carson School, Barbara taught high school in Falls City, Nebraska, Hiawatha and Robinson schools, and concluded her career of thirty-five years of teaching with several years at the Robinson Middle School. After her husband's death, she was also the owner of Reents Shoe Store in downtown Hiawatha. She retired from teaching in 1980 and moved to make Estes Park her home. Barbara is survived by her companion Walter Richards, a son Michael George and his wife Netta of Lawrence, Kansas, a daughter Paula George of Colorado Springs, Colorado, three grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.
