<\/a><\/p>\nShe was born in Los Angeles on September 20, 1940 to John and Sara Blevens. The family moved to Sara\u2019s hometown of Washta, IA when Barbara was in grade school and it was there she met her eventual husband, Gordon. Barbara\u2019s family moved back to Northern California when Barbara was in high school. Upon graduation from Capuchino High School in San Bruno, she joined Gordon at Buena Vista College in Storm Lake, IA. They were wed on December 30, 1959. <\/p>\n
Barbara was a lifelong educator who put her career on hold to raise her 3 children and was a teacher\u2019s aide for many years in Clearlake, CA. She returned to college, receiving her teaching credential in 1985. She then started teaching elementary school at Lower Lake Elementary, where she taught until retiring in 2002.

Barbara loved to sing, dance and drink wine. She was active in her church. She was not much of a cook and inspired her own children to learn to cook due to self preservation. They could never understand why their dad put ketchup on everything. <\/p>\n

She is survived by her three children Teri (Norma) of Carmichael, CA, Gordon, Jr (Elaine) of Murphys, CA, Ken (Patty) of Rio Linda, CA two grandchildren Kai of Modesto, CA, Hailey Hail (Bryan) of Austin, NV, and three brothers John Blevens (Sharon) of Kenwood, CA, Dale Blevens of Fortuna, CA and Rob Blevens of Grants Pass, OR. <\/p>\n
