I'm sorry to inform the class of 1966 that they
have lost another classmate to a higher authority.
I was contacted by a WHS alumni from the class of
2001, saying that she was trying to find pictures
of her mom who was a member of the first
graduating class from Wheeling High School. That
alumni is Wendy Marie Andersen, and her mom was
Nancy Swetonic Andersen. Wendy told me that Nancy
passed away on 10/24/2021.
Rest in Peace Nancy.

I received word today that Mary Jean Young, passed away from cancer in
March of this year. I do not as yet have the exact date. This
sad news was sent to me by Mary's younger sister Gail Young Newitt '70.
Gail also informed me that her younger brother Eugene M. Young '72
passed away in August from a heart attack.

I regret that another passing of a member of the
Class of 1966 was uncovered. Diane Lynn Barefoot passed away a little more
than a year ago on January 25, 2020. Diane had been unfortunately, on the
missing list. Diane had two siblings that I know of but I don't believe
they attended WHS. A brother Larry Barefoot who preceded her in death, and
a sister Lenette Barefoot. I have neither of them in the alumni database.
Diane was apparently residing in Vancouver, WA at the time of her passing.
There is no obituary posted only a guestbook at
https://www.hamiltonmylan.com/guestbook/diana-barefoot#guestbook
Rest in Peace Diane. |

Some belated sad news. Bill Lytle '66 passed away on his birthday, July 1, 2020. I have no additional information at this time. If I'm not mistaken Bill had at least 3 younger siblings. John who should have graduated in 1969 (missing). Virginia '72 sadly passed away 12/08/2009. and Bruce Lytle '75. Rest in Peace Bill. | ||||

I'm sorry to have to pass along this
information. Kathy McSorley LaBelle passed away today (01/30/2021) from
cancer. This is a very sad trifecta. Kathy's younger sisters Beverley '68
and Pamela '70 also passed away from cancer in 2016 and 2004 respectively. No other details at this time about funeral arrangements for Kathy.
