- Barbara Mooney
- Barbara Casto Mooney was born 23 February 1926 in Salt Lake City to Raymond and Gertrude Casto. While in high school, she learned to ski at Alta, Utah during the era of "leather boots, bear-trap bindings and wooden skis" (Vail Daily 23 Mar 2006). She graduated from the University of Utah where she was named “Snow Queen.” After marrying Albert Mooney, the couple moved to Applewood, Colorado in 1958. The Mooney couple raised six children together. In 1961, the Mooney family built “Casa de Luna” in Vail. From 1978 to 2010, Vail was the primary Mooney residence. While living in Vail, Barbara Mooney was an important advocate for children’s education. She volunteered at the Vail Valley Medical Center, Vail Interfaith Chapel and for the annual classical music festival Bravo! Vail. Barbara Mooney crafted a square for the Vintage Vail Quilt and was instrumental in its design and creation. The Vintage Vail Quilt visually describes Vail’s history and heritage; it is curated and housed at Vail Public Library. Mooney also celebrated the beauty and diversity among cultures and enjoyed travel, tennis, and art. Mooney actively skied until 87 years of age and enjoyed her final Uintah Mountain Range hike at age 90.
