Barb Hart

Barb Hart - Senior Trustee
January 25, 1936 - January 20, 2012

On Friday, January 20, 2012, Groveland Township's Board of Trustees lost their most senior member Barbara Hart. Barb had served on the Board of Trustees since May of 2001. She was a loyal elected official for eleven years, representing the residents of Creve Coeur, as well as the rest of the township. During her tenure she  continuously fought for fiscal constraint and the need to spend tax dollars wisely. She championed the township's effort to help our less fortunate residents, and she strongly supported efforts to support our food pantries. She ultimately became the township's "watchdog" for expenditures and frequently had questions about how dollars were being spent. She respected her colleagues, and everyone enjoyed her quick wit and sense of  humor. Barb Hart believed in public service, and her legacy will be that of a dedicated public servant.

The Township has established three annual scholarships that will be awarded in her name.  All eligible recipients must reside in Groveland Township.
