Wade Teets, Class of 1970, passed
away Thursday, April 15.
His parents were Donley Ray and Ruby
Lee Schell.
His obituary says he’s Class of 1969,
but he is listed in the 1970 Monongah High graduation list that I have and in
the North Marion alumni directory that covers all the Marion County schools.
Wade’s sister, Doris Kaye Teets Cain,
Class of 1972, lives in Enterprise with husband Jim Cain.
I didn’t see any connection in Wade’s
obituary to Monongah firefighter Shawn Teets, North Marion High graduate and captain in the Marion County Department of Homeland
Security. He studied biology at Fairmont State. And moved to Florida
after his home caught fire in Monongah.
Nor with Morgantown DaVinci & Dessert artist Ashley Teets who supervised the 2015 creation
of a giant mural of the artist rendering of the West Virginia Rose Parade float
which hangs in the new Children’s Hospital wing in Morgantown.
But in my research I
did come across a 1960 photo of Miss Giles’ 5th grade class at
Thoburn School that included the late Gary Teets, Wade’s brother.
