d/o James Ebenezer and Eula Mae (Lawrence) Oakley; w/o Herman Hayes
Barbara left the hills of Tennessee for Dayton Art Institute where she met her future husband, Maj. Herman Hayes, who was serving in the US Air Force at Wright Patterson in Dayton, Ohio. Barbara was a proud military wife who traveled throughout the world with her husband and two children, from their home base at Lajes AFB in the Azores. Major Hayes's last assignment was Pease Air Force Base in New Hampshire, where Barbara fell in love with the New England people, lobsters, clam chowder, and the Patriots.
Barbara was an accomplished artist whose art was displayed at juried shows throughout her travels. After her children graduated from high school, Barbara went on to earn her Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education and a Master's of Fine Arts at the University of New Hampshire. She encouraged the arts throughout her life by teaching art and art history to students from kindergarten to college level. She was an avid ballroom dancer, wicked Scrabble player, consummate crossword puzzler, and a glorious southern cook.
She lives on in the memory of her children, a daughter and a son; grandchildren.
