Barbara spent her career as a dedicated middle school teacher with the Ridgway School District, where she made a lasting impact on generations of students.

She is also survived by her brothers Thomas Beauchat of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Richard Beauchat of Titusville, and her twin brother Robert Beauchat of Titusville.
