While at Lisbon High, she was involved with many clubs and she also participated in soccer, basketball, and softball. She lettered, captained, and was a Mountain Valley Conference All-Star in soccer and softball. Tarsha always dreamt about getting back to her birth state and she fulfilled that dream when she moved to Pensacola Beach, Florida in 1995. In 2000, she met J. Terryl "Bubba" Bechtol and married him in 2002 in a beautiful beach ceremony on the Gulf of Mexico. In Pensacola, she was a well-known musical DJ and former morning talk show host at News Radio 1620. Tarsha's spirit and personality was her firm foundation when it came to helping others. Her kind and tender heart was always there for a friend or stranger in need. She also loved animals very much and brought in many a stray. Her infectious smile and laughter will be missed greatly by her loving family and the many, many friends she had in Maine and Florida.
