Barbara Oski Beane Credit: CourtesyBarbara Oski Beane, age 91, née Barbara Ann Fassett, left this world surrounded by loving family and her treasured art collection on August 10, 2026. Barbara was born on February 3, 1935, in Tunkhannock, Pa. She was the second of five children born to Esther Margaret (“Peg”) and Alvah Fassett. While at Swarthmore, she met Frank Oski, a medical student at the University of Pennsylvania and a Swarthmore graduate. After Frank’s death, Barbara became reacquainted in shared grief with a former Wyoming Seminary classmate who lost his wife in a tragic accident. The addition of Douglas Carter Beane (Lewis Flinn), Sandra Beane-Fox (Don Fox) and Kimberly Beane (Michael Rosenberg) to the family led to much joy and more grandchildren.
