Anthony Pulice, Jr., wife Barbara

Anthony Pulice, Jr., Class of 1945, and his wife, Barbara Pulice, who live in Fairmont, celebrated their 34^th wedding anniversary April 17 with a dish of restaurant manicotti.

Family members include Julie Pulice Kraley; Jesse James Pulice (someone had a sense of humor or an admiration for outlaws in picking his first and middle names); Jesse James’ wife, Chelsie Colisino Pulice; Mark Pulice; Jamie L. Pulice; and Toni Marie Pulice Pill.

Tony retired from Fairmont General Hospital in 2013. He also is a retired U.S. Army First Sergeant and was in the 249^th Army Band.

Anthony Pulice, Sr. & Frank Pulice, Sr. were brothers. So Anthony, Jr. and Frank, Jr. are first cousins. 

Frank, Sr. (born Francisco Pulice) owned the house at Camden and Walnut that was demolished so that the bank could be built, which will be razed again for a Dollar General store.

The children of Frank, Sr. and Theresa Larry Loria Pulice:

Sam Pulice, California; Anthony Pulice, Arizona; William Pulice; Rose Ann Pulice Satterfield; and Norma Jean Pulice Zannino, all deceased. And Katherine Pulice Manno, Mary Louise Pulice Hefner, Frank Pulice, Jr. of Fairmont and James Anthony Pulice of Arizona. The family moved from Chiefton with their 10 children into the Walnut/Camden home.

Anthony, Jr. grew up in Worthington. Anthony, Jr.’s nephew, Jim, Class of 1969, was principal of Monongah Middle School.
