Barbara J. Smith was born in Des Moines, Iowa on November 21, 1934, the daughter of John and Virginia (Mealey) Smith. The family moved to Albia to live in the Frederickson home in the country and she and her siblings attended a one room school house.

Barb always had a smile and a hug for everyone! She was such a kind hearted woman and yet when she was with us either in my office or in the break room she could put her sassy pants on! I loved that about her! I will never forget you or the name you gave me......Penny Annie. Tell Ray I said hi! ??
