Reva McDougal Ash, Class of 1950, is
an energetic and bouncy widow living in Marietta, Ohio who has three sons,
one daughter, eight grandchildren ranging in age from 4 to 38 and one
great-grandchild.
She still sings in Sand Hill
Methodist Church in Reno, a Marietta suburb, and is a regular for the Christmas
Eve candlelight service warbling.
She also mows her own lawn, despite a knee replacement in 2000, even though the children and grandchildren offer to
help, since her husband passed away in 2008.
Reva’s sister, Helen McDougal Mudry,
lives on Swisher Hill, which makes her neighbors to Tony Orsini, Class of 1946,
and wife Mary Louise Baker Orsini, who started with the Class of 1948.
Helen lives where Reva grew up while
going to Monongah High, as did another sister, Edna Mae McDougal, who married
James Saunders. Edna passed away in 2011.
Their brothers, Earl and Jimmy
McDougal, live in North Carolina. Reva made trips there when “the boys were in
the service.”
Reva “would like to” attend the May
23, 2015 Monongah High Alumni Reunion at Knights of Columbus on Mary Lou Retton
Drive and the 7 p.m. Friday, May 22 Class of 1950/Class of 1955 combined dinner
at the Three Ways Inn in Fairmont – if she can get her sister Helen McDougal Mudry to
join her.
If you want to exchange memories with Reva,
