Resident of the Month

Barbara is a proud mother of four daughters, a grandmother, and lifelong educator to thousands. After 30 years at Johnston Elementary, students from three decades ago still call her their favorite teacher. Parents would often say, “When my child goes to first grade, I’m requesting Mrs. Hardie.” Her life has taken her many places, but she has always left kindness, laughter, and a little magic behind.

Barbara enjoys listening to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, dancing, and testing her knowledge with music trivia. She is also a loyal Georgia Bulldogs fan and loves the playing “the slots” in Las Vegas. Most of all, she loves her family and being a mom and Grandmommy. We love having Barbara here at Legacy Ridge Alpharetta.
