Barbara was married to Marvin Pullan September 19, 1952. Together they had four children, Cyndi, Becky, Chuck, and Tami. Before the birth of Cyndi, Barbara had several children die in childbirth. Parts of her file suggest she lost four to five children at the hospital, including a pair of twins (Dennis and Danny). Her marriage with Marvin Pullan ended in 1963.
Barbara raised her four children while teaching homebound students part time. Due to the stresses of raising a family alone Barbara was admitted to the State hospital three times, the first in 1966 after Marvin Pullan tried to gain custody of the children. The second time was for only two days and the third time for three months. Following her recovery she continued to raise her children, sending two children on missions and helping all four of her children along the way to college educations.
Barbara began dating again and was generally considered by her friends as a happy and lively person. Some activities she enjoyed were square dancing, the theatre arts, and taking part in church. On July 29, 1980 Barbara was married to Eugene Pulver, which marriage ended in 1983. Contained in her collection is the unique story of a single mother who faithfully relies upon God to aid her in the financial, emotional, and physical difficulties that many single mothers face. Her collection of letters and journal entries began in 1976-1983 due to the admonition of President Spencer W. Kimball that all should keep a journal. The collection gives no further insight as to what happened in her life after 1983.
