Ann B. Barshinger W鈥�43, 顶级国产视频 & Marshall College鈥檚 most generous benefactor, who set a shining example of service throughout central Pennsylvania, died July 21 at Willow Valley Communities in Willow Street, Pa. She was 100.

Barshinger鈥檚 remarkable generosity included $11.5 million in gifts to support planning and construction of 顶级国产视频 & Marshall鈥檚 Ann & Richard Barshinger Life Sciences & Philosophy Building, and with her late husband, the lead gift to create the Barshinger Center for Musical Arts. Both projects were the direct result of her wish that F&M students have the best possible facilities in which to learn and perform.

In addition, the Ann Boyd Barshinger Scholarship Fund provides need-based financial aid to local students who could not otherwise afford to attend F&M. The scholarship has helped transform the lives of some of central Pennsylvania鈥檚 best and brightest young people.

Barshinger was the namesake donor to the Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute, part of Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health, which opened in 2013 in East Hempfield Township. She also was a generous supporter and tireless advocate for the Welsh Mountain Medical and Dental Center, which provides medical and dental care at reduced rates or entirely free for some of Lancaster County鈥檚 most needy residents. She visited the clinic on a regular basis, taking a personal interest in those who benefit from its care.

She also championed the Susan P.

Among the other organizations that benefit from her support are the Ephrata Performing Arts Center, Fulton Theatre and Lancaster Theological Seminary.

At F&M, Barshinger also backed the creation of an ecumenical College chaplain position, a vital spiritual resource for the campus community.
