Barbara Moreno is the mother of Jeff. She and several of Jeff’s classmates initiated the first scholarships. She helped to privately fund scholarships in Jeff’s honor over the past 3 decades. Jeff’s love for life and others is directly attributed to his mother.

Barb, as many of her friends and family call her, made many sacrifices to provide and care for her family. She challenged all her children to break through barriers, stereotypes, and overcome setbacks in life. She always took opportunities to show her family how to love on others and share in our opportunities.

She worked at a local restaurant in Batesville, Arkansas for over 30 years. She met many people and made many lifelong friends during her time as a waitress. After retiring as a waitress, Barb enjoys volunteering at church, serving meals for the less fortunate, and supporting friends and families. She can often be found baby sitting, giving rides for the elderly, or simply spending time with others during their own tragedies. She attributes her love to others to her mother, who was a nurse.
