Barbara Lou Tiffany Tizard, 97 passed away November 25, 2019. She grew up on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation and around Tiffany's Trading Post, where a vast collection of Indian art was amassed, much of it later donated to the Arizona Historical Society and to ASU as the Barbara Tizard Collection. Barbara studied voice at University of Arizona following semesters at Mills College in Oakland. At UofA she met William Irvin Tizard whom she married in 1943. Active in civic organizations, Barbara co-founded and was the first president of the Phoenix chapter of ARCS (Achievement Rewards for College Scientists) in 1975. Barbara is survived by four children, three grandchildren and four great grandchildren. She was preceded in passing by her husband, Lt. Col. Bill Tizard. Private services are planned at Valley Presbyterian Church. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to Phoenix ARCS scholarship funds. (Source: Arizona Republic)
