Barbara Lynn Hiles (Peters)

November 24, 1936 — January 29, 2022

Barbara Lynn Hiles, born to Olien and Jennie Peters on November 24, 1936, took Our Heavenly Father’s hand on January 29, 2022. Barbara grew up in Independence and graduated from William Chrisman High School, Class of 1954. She married her husband, Sylvester (“Jack”) Hiles in June of 1955. She worked at the Central Missouri State University Residence Center until deciding to pursue a teaching degree at CMSU. After she went to work as a teacher, she continued her education and achieved a master’s degree, also at CMSU. She touched the lives of countless students across eastern Jackson county as a reading teacher and tutor for many of the years of her decades-long career as an educator. She served as a leader of the Missouri State Council of the International Reading Association and was well respected by many for her passion for helping people learn how to read. In addition to her role as educator, she freely gave her time and resources to the Impact Ministry at First Baptist Church of Blue Springs. Barbara, a beloved wife and mother, was preceded in death by her husband, Jack, and her first-born son, Kenneth. She is survived by her devoted granddaughter, Rachel Kathleen Hiles, and one son. She passed away peacefully in her home.
