Donna Davis home after eye surgery

Monongah High Alumni Association treasurer Donna Davis, Class of 1961, is home recuperating from her cornea transplant surgery Thursday, March 19.

It’s going to be a long haul.



Her cataract surgery on her other eye “went great” in September.

But the drops that doctors put in this eye November 12 to treat the eye was too strong and created a vision problem that required the cornea transplant. Donna wasn't the only one who got the too-strong drops.

Donna has another problem. She can’t find anyone in the Class of 1960, one of the two honor classes, to handle the task of rounding up 1960 graduates. “So many of them are sick,” Donna said. If you’re Class of 1960, call Donna at (304) 534-5636 to volunteer to corral your 1960 classmates.

Class of 1970 is the other honor class.

Donna has been handling MHS Banquet reservations for as long as I can remember. It’s an arduous task. She deserves the thanks of every Lion in America for it.

Donna is married to Bill Davis, Class of 1958. They live in Monongah. Her sister, Linda Pruitte, lives in Fairmont with husband Richard Pruitte. Their brother, Frederick R. Moorehead, was Class of 1964. His widow is Linda Savereno Moorehead, Class of 1968, who lives in Carolina.

Donna’s parents were Walter Colbert, killed in 1944 while serving in the military, and Norma Lee Croaston Moorehead, who passed away in 2017.

If you want to send Donna a get-well card, her address is:

Donna Davis

Or you could give her a cheer-up call at (304) 534-5636.

Maybe the Stepping Stone band, who perform at the Monongah High Alumni dinner-dance reunion, could serenade her?
