She was raised in the state of Michigan where she graduated from Hope College with a bachelor's degree in English. After graduating she married her high school sweetheart Daniel MacDougall on May 27, 1978. Dan and Barbara were always on the move going from Michigan to Philadelphia, Canada, Scotland and finally here in the North Georgia/ Tennessee area. She loved planning trips with family and traveling anytime she could. Barbara completed her master’s degree in Education at Covenant College. She taught English at Chattanooga Christian School for 18 years, having also taught in Scotland and Philadelphia. She led and participated in Bible studies in every place they lived.
