Her life’s work is a narrative of profound influence. “Barbara was a pioneer, a mentor, and a dear friend to many. Her memory and contributions to the department will never be forgotten,” said Director Stevens.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, loved ones, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. Rest in peace, Captain Frost. Your impact and legacy will always be remembered.
With deepest sympathies,
Antonio Stevens
