University of Tennessee College of Law graduate Barbara Tallent Ward, 79, died Thursday following a traffic accident earlier this month in West Knox County. Barbara Ward and her husband John Ward, the legendary “Voice of the Vols,” gave generously to the university, making in 1994 what was then the largest gift in history to the school’s athletic department, estimated at more than $2 million, the Knoxville News Sentinel reports.
