CATCHING UP WITH SHEILA KAY MOBLEY McCUTCHEON

 

Sheila Kay Mobley McCutcheon, Class of 1974, who married Dorsey McCutcheon, also Class of 1974, tells me about a rare double crossing of paths.

 

Her son, John Dorsey McCutcheon,  and his wife, Kimberly White McCutcheon,  bought the Morgantown home owned by Mike Oliverio, Class of 1954, after Mike and his wife passed away.

 

Years earlier,  Sheila told me, “Mike Oliverio wrote a letter of recommendation for my son to be admitted to the vocational rehab program and JD received his Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling!

 

“I think it’s cool how paths cross in so many unique ways,” Sheila told me. I couldn’t agree more.

 

Sheila’s son John and his wife have been married 21 years and they have 5 children,  “4 girls and finally a boy!” an excited Sheila told me.

 

Another son, James Allen McCutcheon, and his wife, Ashley Brady McCutcheon,  have one girl and 2 boys.

 

Both sons graduated from Morgantown High. John also graduated from WVU in psychology.

 

Dorsey died April 15, 2019, helping Phil Westfall, Class of 1974. They were in Michigan clearing out one of the homes of Phil’s relatives who had passed away.

 

Sheila was born in Clarksburg. Her parents are Eva Malovich Mobley and the Rev. John James Mobley.

 

Sheila worked at Mylan Pharmaceuticals (yes, the company that forked over $21 million and got Mike Puskar’s name on Mountaineer Field) till 2013. Sheila also worked 18 years with Montgomery Ward Department Stores in Morgantown and Bridgeport.

Sheila is a Jehovah’s Witness who loved her public ministry and served full time for several years. Sheila loved traveling to international conventions of Jehovah’s Witnesses; visiting Germany, Mexico and Croatia.

She graduated from Fairmont State and lived in  Farmington until she was 10. So a future Farmer became a Lion instead.

Sharon Mobley Goode, a 1962 Farmington High graduate,  is her sister.
