Great Friend and Supporter

by MHEF on June 19, 2010

connie-barnettIt is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passage of Connie Dryer Barnett (’71) who passed away on June 13, 2010.  Connie served on our Board and was involved in all of our activities.  At our Night of Honors, Connie served as a gracious hostess; during our recent Phone-a-thon, Connie could be found conversing with other Board members creating calling lists for the students and encouraging them as they learned the art of volunteerism; Connie served on our scholarship committee and generously helped to grant as many scholarships to as many Mountain Home graduates as our funds allowed.  Connie was faithful to our Board meetings and contributed much wisdom to our decision making process. 

 The Barnett family graciously suggested the Mountain Home Education Foundation as one avenue for memorial donations.  You can donate on-line through this web page or mail a check to MHEF, 2465 Rodeo Drive, Mountain Home, Arkansas 72653.

 The Mountain Home Education Foundation appreciates the work Connie contributed to our organization.  We will miss her.
