Goldie Huffman Basagic, Class of 1974, and husband John Huffman are celebrating their 44^th wedding anniversary.

Goldie posted:

“We been married 44 years, had 2 children and 8 grandchildren with another on the way next month and we are still smiling. Who would of thought? Love you, John. Happy Anniversary.”

Patti DeMary Evans, Class of 1972, was there for Goldie and John’s wedding day.

Their daughter Brooke Huffman Pethtel is married to Adam Pethtel.

Goldie was a Monongah High cheerleader alongside Patty DeMary Evans; Debbie Manzo Vandetta, Class of 1973, Monongahfest president and married to former Monongah Mayor Greg Vandetta, Class of 1975; and Debbie Basagic Bragg, Class of 1972.

 

Patti is a retired nurse (1987-2006) and a graduate of Fairmont State. She lives in Fairmont with husband Brian Evans. Patti’s sister is BettyAnne DeMary.

Keeping the Basagic family branches straight is tougher than beating Monongah High in a state title football game, but I’ll try:

Pete Basagic, Class of 1972, son of Richard Basagic, Class of 1948, who worked at Davis Electric, lives in Monongah and is married.

Richard “Richie” Basagic, Class of 1975, works at FirstEnergy and lives in Fairmont. He attended the 2010 Monongah High Alumni Reunion.

 

Cathy Basagic, Fairmon State catering programs coordinator, is from Rachel and lives in Monongah.

Sandra Basagic, after Parkersburg High, Fairmont State and West Virginia University, works for the Marion County Board of Education, is married and lives in Fairmont.

 

Hassan Basagic, Class of 1963, attended the 2013 Monongah High Alumni Reunion with Marlene Sandy. Hassan Basagic, Jr., Class of 1941, died in 1980.

 

Julius Basagic, listed both as Class of 1943 and Class of 1945 in my Monongah High graduation lists but as Class of 1945 in the North Marion High alumni directory.
