Remembering MHS Hayhurst daughters’ Mom

It was a year ago Friday that Ann Glaspell Hayhurst, whose three daughters attended Monongah High, passed away on Wednesday, December 30, 2015. Since I missed her demise originally because I was on my way to Florida for the winter, this will serve as both a memorial and an obituary. Thanks, Adam Michna, for reminding me of the missed posting at the time of Ann's passing.

Ann Glaspell Hayhurst

Ann lived in Kellytown with her husband of 59 years, Walter “Sonny” Hayhurst, who survives. They were married in 1956 in Taylor, West Virginia.

Daughters Connie Hayhurst Coleman is Class of 1977, Linda Lou Hayhurst Eller is Class of 1979 and Brenda Hayhurst Bray is a 1981 North Marion graduate, which means she also began at Monongah High before the 1979 consolidation with North Marion.

Anna’s obituary:
