Barbara married Wes Harvey on January 5th, 1956 in her childhood home. Wes and Barbara lived in several states including Oregon, Montana, and California before finally settling in Mountain View. Together they enjoyed bowling and were known for square dancing in Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho. 

Wes and Barbara are the parents of two boys Brad and Bret. Barbra really had her hands full raising two rambunctious boys.

 Barbara worked for 39 years in the lunchroom of Uinta County School District #4. She enjoyed seeing her children and her grandchildren at lunchtime.

Her love for Mountain View athletics began while raising her two sons Brad and Bret, this then began her long love for the color purple. Barbara could be seen in her purple buffalo jacket summer or winter. She continued attending sporting events through 2024. She was recognized at a Mountain View basketball game in February of 2024 as a “true Buffalo fan.” This was the last time Barbara was able to attend a Mountain View athletic event.
