Bertha Kennedy Wilson memorial September 25

There will be a memorial for Bertha Kennedy Wilson, Class of 1971, at 11 a.m. Saturday, September 25 in the Monongah Town Hall. It will be, fittingly, Bertha’s birthday.

Bertha’s Dulcimer friends will be holding a potluck dinner and jam. Those who show up are encouraged to bring potluck food to share with others and to share their memories of  Bertha.

The spoken memorial will end with a prayer followed by a shared meal and the Dulcimer group’s jam in Bertha’s honor.

RSVPs should be sent to Sandy Kennedy Booth, Bertha’s sister. Their parents were Mary Jane Masters Kennedy and William Jones.

Sandy is a 1986 Fairmont State graduate who lives in Worthington with her husband, Marshall Booth. Both attended Monongah High but graduated from North Marion after MHS merged with other Marion County schools in September 1979.

 

Bertha was part of the Fantastic Four Lions who traveled together to frolic in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, Sedona, Arizona, Key West, Cabo San Lucas, New York City and Ohio’s Amish country.

The others were Mary “Kitty” Ahouse Morrison, Class of 1968, who lives on Lyndon Avenue in Monongah; Susan Ahouse Schrader, Class of 1971, who lives in Pittsburgh and Stoney Lonesome;  and Doris Carpenter Rogers, Class of 1971,  who lives in Charleston, West Virginia with husband Scott Rogers.
