They spent the next 34 years in North Canton, where Barbe worked at the Greentown Elementary School and was very active with her church and church choir, both as a choralist and as director of the youth choirs. She delivered Meals on Wheels for many years, and was an avid antiques and garage sale hunter. In 1992, after her husband retired, they moved to Port Orange, FL.
