Rose Marie Commodore Cain, Class of 1950, passed away Thursday,
May 12.
Rose was a Westinghouse/North American Phillips retiree and
later volunteered at the WV Caring Hospice Resale Shop.
Rose’s parents were Dominick and Dominica Commodari. Her siblings are Don Commodore,
Tom Commodari (who kept the original family name), Jim Commodore, also Class of
1950, who passed away n 2014, and Joe Commodore.
Only Don and Tom, both Class of
1958, have not passed away. Tom lives in
Monongah and Don lives in Rock Creek, Ohio.
Rose was the widow of William
Paul Cain. Their daughter, Mary Pat Cain,
passed away in 2017. Another daughter, Beverly, lives in Rivesville,
just like my sister, Jackie Olesky Straight, Class of 1955. Rose’s
brother, William Cain, Jr., lives in Metz near Mannington.
She was buried in Independent
Order of Oddfellows Cemetery in Enterprise.
Other Class of 1950 members that
I know have passed away include Robert “Satch” Kasper, Barbara Jean Baczuk,
Mary Bienkoski Domico, Bill Birdsell, Kathleen Blagg Goldstein, Walter Brzuzy,
Deloris Butcher, Martha Jean Carpenter, Jim Commodore, Anthony “Plumber”
DeMary, Jr., Theresa Demus, Richard Garrett, Eva Geraldine Fullen Ross, Lawrence
“Sonny” Godby, Jr., Lucille Herron Anderson, Barbara Glover Rombola, Pat Kiehl
Williams, Joe Manzo, Iris Martin, sisters Ann Manuel Richardson and Virginia
Manuel Eddy, Patty Meredith Wills, Tom Orsini, Bill Pringle, Paul Rankin, my
Monongah High prom date Nancy Robinson Saunders, Harold Spragg, Jim “Judge”
Starcher, preacher’s son Lyman Wadsworth and Jim Wimer.
There were only 45 in our Class
of 1950 so the survival list is getting very thin.
I’ve talked to Tony Eates, Donald “Jake” Halpenny, Frank Franze
recently. Reva McDougal Ash still lives
in Marietta, Ohio. Mary Ann Puffenbarger Moore lives in Fairmont. Patty Urban
Utz lives in Maryland, I believe. I visited Leatrice Yokay Greaser in her
Fairmont home last year. Anna Currence Sutton, lives in Conyers, Georgia,
and Bernice Grandstaff Maranville in North Carolina and Katherine Toothman Crim
in Michigah, last I heard, but I can never be sure. It took me 11 days to find
out about Rose’s passing even though I've been at Monongah High Alumni Banquets with here and communicated with her off and off even in 2022. I lost track of Arnold Morgan
in Florida years ago.
