Linda Tomlinson
Stevenski, Class of 1955, passed
away. She was the widow of Andy “Jiggs” Stevenski, a 1950 Grafton High
graduate.
It was the 4th
Monongah death in a week.
They were married 61 years. The former Monongah High
majorette met Jiggs at the 12th Street Skating Rink. They have six
children and several grandchildren.
Linda and Jiggs’ children are Andrea Stevenski, residing
at home; Linda Moore and husband Tom of Little Mill Fall; Tim Stevenski
and wife Cindy of Grant Town; Andy C. Stevenski and wife Sharletta of Grafton;
Thomas Stevenski and fiancée Kim of Booths Creek; and Daniel Stevenski,
residing at home.
Linda's siblings are Martha Sutcliffe of Mineral Ridge, Ohio, Patty Clark of
Ohio, William Hammond of Four States and James Hammond of Fairmont.
Linda was born
in a house on Front Street below Schrader’s. She was reared by the Tomlinsons
as a foster child.
Linda was a
children’s books author. Chetty T. Chipmonk is one of her most famous book
characters.
Jiggs and Linda were among 21 at the reunion of mostly
Monongah High alumni that I arranged at the 3 Ways Inn Restaurant in Fairmont
in 2015.
I was on my way to my annual Florida winterizing and
stopped to visit my sister, Jackie Olesky Straight, Class of 1955, who lives in
Rivesville, before taking the auto/train in Virginia for the Florida journey.
