  ANNVILLE Barbara Ann Barry, 74, formerly of Lebanon, passed away peacefully 
  Wednesday, September 15, 2010, in Hershey Medical Center after a brief illness. 
  She was born June 18, 1936, in Green County, the daughter of the late Ralph and 
  Georgeina Furman. In 1956 she married her college sweetheart, Edward Barry, who 
  survives. Also surviving are two sons, Gene, husband of Lorraine Barry of 
  Palmyra, and Doug, husband of Bonny Barry of Harrisburg; and her grandchildren, 
  Brian and Nicole Barry. She graduated from Mapletown High School in 1954 as 
  class Valedictorian, and was a varsity cheerleader for four years. She was a 
  former Wool Queen Princess of Green County and a member of the Homecoming Court 
  at Waynesburg College. She graduated with an Elementary Education Degree from 
  Waynesburg College in 1958, where she attended on an Academic Scholarship, and 
  received a Masters Degree in Elementary Education from Penn State University 
  and Millersville State University. Mrs. Barry was a member of Lodge 115 Eastern 
  Star, White Shrine of Jerusalem, and Order of Amaranth. She was also a former 
  member of The NEA, PSEA, PSAR, OPTI, and Mrs. Club of Lebanon. She was a former 
  chairperson of several science fairs in Lebanon, Clearfield, and Centre 
  Counties. She also chaired several educational committees and taught for seven 
  years in Greene, Warren, and Centre Counties, plus 31 years at Harding 
  Elementary in Lebanon, where she taught 4th grade and was affectionately known 
  as "Mrs. Barbara B." She loved her students and sent many confident and 
  successful young men and women into the real world. She retired in 2002. She 
  also taught summer school at Millersville State University and taught 
  Elementary Teaching Techniques at several Central Pennsylvania School 
  Districts. She was Lebanon High cheerleader advisor in the late 1970's and 
  early 1980's and was an active volunteer at Kaplan Pavilion and Good Samaritan

  received the 1991 and 1992 Gift of Time Tributes from the American Family 
  Institute at Valley Forge for outstanding teaching attributes. Her favorite 
  sports teams were those coached by her husband, played on by her sons and 
  grandchildren, and the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, and Panthers. She lived 
  life to the fullest and will be missed by her family, former students, 
  colleagues, and friends. Services will be held at the convenience of the 
  family. Rothermel Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Inc., 25 W. Pine St.,
