She was born in Willowshade, Kentucky on June 28, 1942, daughter of Jesse and Edith (Ballard) Gentry.

Barbara was a graduate of David Lipcomb University in Nashville, Tennessee and went on to earn her master’s degree from Ball State University, which she was very proud of. She had taught school and was a librarian for over 27 years, retiring from Breckinridge County School Corporation in Kentucky.
