Obituary
Barbara Lutz Hyatt passed away peacefully in Maryland on July 5, 2021, at the age of 80, after a short, but courageous, battle with cancer.
Barbara was born on November 6, 1940, in Beverly, Massachusetts to the late Dr. John and Bea Lutz. She shortly moved to Charleston where she would reside for most of her life. She graduated from Charleston High School In 1958 and the University of Kentucky in 1962 with a degree in education. At Kentucky, she was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority. After receiving her master’s degree from West Virginia University, Barbara began a long and distinguished career as a teacher. During her teaching career, she taught primarily at Loudendale Elementary and Holz Elementary Schools. Upon retirement, Barbara began long-term substituting at Andrew Jackson Middle School, which she did until 2021. Barbara loved teaching and she positively affected the lives of hundreds of her students.
Barbara will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by her sons, Timothy and his wife Sheri, John and his wife Missy, and Jerry and his wife Holly; as well as her adored grandchildren, Christopher, Landen, Alexander, Elizabeth, Payton, and Caitlin. She is also survived by her brother, Jack; and nephew John; as well as many, many friends.

Barbara was the first girl I met when I attended elementary summer school. Not sure why either of us were there. It turns out our mothers knew each other. We went all through Kanawha County Schools as classmates. We were not real close friends, but still friends. She was a great gal. I know her family and friends are mourning her loss.

Barbara made an impact on our family’s life and well being. Bill went through high school with Barbara. They could still laugh about their younger selves even when they became responsible adults. Our three daughters Ellen, Anna and Mary Sale were all “educated” by “Ms. Hyatt” in the classroom and in life. They succeeded in the fifth grade but even more importantly they learned that “being cool” is not always the best choice.
We made a memorial contribution in Barbara’s name to KVC West Virginia.
In Peace,
Bill and June Sale and family
