Diana Hess passes away

 
Worthington’s Diana Hess passed away Friday, March 18.


Diana married Jim Hess. Children Debbie Hess Anderson, married to Terry Anderson, Carla Hess, Jimmy Hess and Jeff Hess.

She was from Rivesville. She was a Hoffman but her children all went to Monongah schools.

They live in Helens Run area.

My sister, Jackie Olesky Straight, Class of 1955, who lives in Rivesville, provided more information about Diana:

John,

Diana Hess is a sister to Martin Hoffman, owner of the Rivesville Pharmacy.  (Jackie’s daughter) Renee works for him whenever he needs her and she isn't working at Ruby (Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, the WVU Medical Center). 

I went to the funeral home Monday and what a beautiful looking lady!  So sad to leave this world at 71 but our own mother was only 56 which was much too young to pass away. 

I feel very fortunate to live this many years and to be in fairly good health.  We must have good genes from our ancestors! 

I went to the cemetery today for Mom & Dad, another cemetery for baby Kurt David and hubby David, and the third one for my mother and father-in-law. 

I hope you have a wonderful Easter. 

Love, Jackie

Jackie also is busy with charity work, which earned her Catholic Charities’ Salt and Light Award a few years back. She directed preparation of the Easter baskets for disadvantaged children for her Fairmont church and is active in the Soup Opera for those temporarily down on their luck.
