Michael Loss of Worthington posted this sad news:

“My Mom passed away today. Jan 30, 2016. Rest in peace Mom. Born Sept 14, 1930.”

Suzanne Barr Loss, Class of 1948, was the widow of Arnold “J.B.” Loss, Class of 1947. Arnold passed away January 7, 2014.

Suzi and Arnold's son, David Loss, lives on the Loss property with wife Mary. Mike Loss lives on Harter Hill with Susie Jett. A third son, Elliott Barr Loss, is deceased.

 Suzi’s sister, Jeannette Barr Baczuk, Class of 1940, lives in Ashland, Ohio.

 

Arnold’s sister, Rosemary Loss Hartman, lives in Phoenix, Arizona.

Also predeceasing Arnold were sisters Mildred “Jean” Loss Carlot, who with husband Julie ran Carlot’s Grill across the street from Monongah High for decades, and Lucille Loss Blocker, wife of Richard Blocker of McCue Avenue; and brothers Bernard Loss (his widow, Kathryn, lives in Monongah) and Don Loss.

Their parents were John “JB” and Josephine (Deiling) Loss.

 

Lucille and Richard’s children are Barbara Blocker Tennant of Fairmont, Alan Tennant and wife Rebecca of Elkins, Scott Blocker and wife Karen of Clarksburg and Vicki Blocker Nottingham and husband Tom of Worthington.

 

Suzi was a daughter of the famous Dr. Barr of Worthington, who delivered most of Worthington’s children who collectively called themselves the Barr Babies.

Mary Louise Baker Orsini, who began at Monongah High with the Class of 1948, who lives on Swisher Hill with husband Tony Orsini, Class of 1946, of the famous six MHS Orsini brothers, wrote:

 “I remembered when Sue, some other girls used her bathroom, upstairs, to smoke, then we opened the window to let out the smoke and it looked as though the house was on fire.

“I remember when Dr. Barr would take us to the movies and he would sleep. That was the best rest he ever got and, of course, he had to see a patient on the way to the movies.

“I remember Mrs. Barr would take off down the walk with the broom after Sue and I when we misbehaved. They were the good old days.”
