Barbara Neu taught at Fairfield School in the Davis Joint Unified School District (in Davis, CA) for 21 years. Teaching at Fairfield fulfilled her life's calling as a teacher. Barbara died of cancer on March 30, 2016 and her family has chosen to memorialize her and her service to Fairfield by creating a memorial scholarship fund in her name. Barbara thrilled in watching her former Fairfield students thrive into adulthood. This scholarship will recognize Fairfield students she would have loved and show this love with a helping hand toward their continuing education through adulthood, be it college, trade school or other relevant educational endeavor.
This site will provide updates on the memorial scholarship as well as share information relevant to Mrs. Neu's legacy.

We'd like to thank Raphael Moore for his help in introducing us to the local community foundations, as well as Babs Sandeen, Executive Director of the Yolo Community Foundation and Fran Baxter-Guigli, Donor Services Officer, with the Sacramento Region Community Foundation. But, most of all, we thank all of you for your support and donating to an idea that we fortunately stumbled upon to memorialize my mother, Barbara Neu, that just seems right.
