Monongah’s Becky Edgell Long passes away

Monongah’s Becky Edgell Long passed away Saturday, February 27.

Her parents were William and Alberta Harold Edgell, but I don’t see a link to Okla “Okey” Edgell, Class of 1944, whose parents were Ray and Lucy Cain Edgell.

Becky’s sister is Georgie Edgell Spurling of Indiana.

The siblings of Okey, who played football at Monongah High, were Lillieray May “Pickle” Edgell Hall, Jeanette J. Edgell Lane, Doak Edgell and James Edgell.
