Barbara Keating (December 23, 1928 - September 11, 2001), worked as a homemaker and later in youth services. The former Barbara Kinsey grew up in Salem, New Jersey and married her high school sweetheart William Keating. The couple moved to Framingham, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, where they raised five children. (Mr. Keating, an engineer who worked on gyroscopes, died in 1983.) After her children were grown, Mrs. Keating worked as executive director of the local chapter of Big Brothers & Big Sisters, an organization for helping youth. Around 1995 she permanently moved to Palm Springs, California where she was an active volunteer at St. Theresa's, her local Catholic church.

Mrs. Keating died at 72 in the crash of American Airlines flight 11 in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack. She is survived by five children, ten grandchildren, and her brother.
