Debbie Moore O'Dell, Class of 1969, and Robert O’Dell, a 1966 Shinnston High graduate, probably won’t want any of their grandchildren named Dorian.

They had planned to celebrate their 49^th anniversary in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. But Hurricane Dorian blew that plan away.

Debbie posted:

“Today we are celebrating our 49th anniversary, not where we had planned thanks to Hurricane Dorian, but we are safe and together.”

Debbie added:

“I am a mother, grandmother and great- grandmother, sister and wife. I am truly blessed.”

But no Dorians in the family, please.

Debbie, who worked at the Dairy Kone for Amelia Shenasky Zentz and the late Bruce Zentz when Debbie was young, also was a department manager at CSM, Etc. at Wally World.

Debbie’s work experience included Urban’s Grocery Store in Monongah.

Debbie’s sister, Janet Moore Frazier, Class of 1972, also worked at the Dairy Kone, which provided spending money for a lot of Monongah High students over the years.

Debbie and Rob’s children are James and Julie, who both went to Monongah High and North Marion High.

Debbie grew up in Monongah but has lived in Kilarm for 49 years. Her children live in Kilarm, too.

Debbie’s parents were Vera Pearl Higginbotham Moore, like Rob a Shinnston High graduate, and Bill Moore. Vera played piano for The Marion County Song Birds.
