Barbara was my stepmother by virtue of her marriage to my father LEWIS S. Drill. She was God-gifted in music like her mother and I enjoyed playing duets with her in her home and other venues. She was vivacious and always had a smile for those around her. She was listed in Who's Who for her talents. Her home was a place of warmth and we shared a lot of "inside" jokes and humor. While she is missed here on earth, I know I can look forward to seeing her again when I see my own mother and sister. Della Drill the youngest daughter of Lew Drill

Barbara was my piano teacher, church organist, children's choir director, and more. I took lessons from her when I was young – probably 6-9 years old – and again when I was a senior in high school. I wanted to learn more music theory, and Barbara was there. I remember often going up after church services as she played the recessional to watch her. Ever the teacher, she showed my friend Kristin and me the different stops and pedals and how they affected her sound. She encouraged me to push the envelope of my comfort while playing piano. Twenty-three years later, I can still play some of the pieces she worked with me on. Barbara played the organ at my wedding in 1997. She has a dear place in my heart, as well as the hearts of many who attended Casa View Christian Church. Sending all of her family peace and love.

Thanks very much. I know your comments would mean so much to her. She truly enjoyed music and being a teacher. Many of her efforts in life involved helping others. Dan Kiniry (son)

Ms. Drill was my children's choir / handbell teacher while I attended Casa View Christian Church in Dallas. I have so many wonderful memories of her and Ms. Crenshaw. You could tell from her attitude that she really enjoyed what she did. She was a great teacher. All the kids really enjoyed her. We had some great plays and concerts all directed by her and Pat. I looked up Barbara many years later and asked to to be my pianist at my wedding. She gladly said yes. I'm lucky to have had her play for us. She will be missed by many. Praying for peace and comfort for your family.
