TRISTEN ORME IS NORTH MARION PROM QUEEN

 

Tristen Orme was crowned queen of the 2022 North Marion High prom.

Tristen was on the Grant Town fire truck at the 2018 Monongahfest parade.

Tristen’s parents are Breanna Stewart and the late Chris Orme. Breanna is the daughter of Shelly Yankie, which makes Shelly the grandmother of Tristen.

Shelly is the grandmother Lion with the most grandchildren, 11! I did an article a while ago by Lions and their grandchildren.

Shelly’s other grandchildren are Arhylah, Dolvrielie, Zaira, Aunavyn, Demarus, Safarah, Ottilie, Adelaide, Euridice and Kira.

Shelly started at Monongah High school but, after her freshman year, Monongah joined Mannington, Fairview, Farmington and Barrackville to form North Marion so she’s a 2002 North Marion graduate. But once a Lion, always a Lion.

Shelly heads the Monongah PACE project which does so much good work for those who need it. PACE vice president is Chuck Tice, Teresa Palmer is treasurer and Janet Bailey was secretary till she passed away.

Shelly also was vice president of Susan Staron Sanders’ amazing Monongah Christmas lights committee which got so many street lights up for the holidays that astronauts can see Monongah from Mars before Shelly stepped aside for Carolyn Tice while Shelly took her of her ill mother, Mary Myers Yankie, who later passed away. Janet also was in that group before she passed away.

Shelly’s siblings are Chris Toothman, David Yankie, Sylvia Barr, Franklin Hammond,  1984 North Marion graduate Terry Yankie, 1987 North Marion graduate Barbie Yankie and 1989 North Marion graduate Kim Yankie Hawkins and the late Kenneth and Ronnie Yankie.

Shelly also helped organized my July 2021 J&J&Lions get-together in the Monongah Town Hall attended by 40 Lions, family, friends and former classmates. Along with Susan Staron Sanders, as usual, Jim Roy Foster and Sue Ahouse Schrader. J&J stood for John (me) and Jackie (my sister Jackie Olesky Straight, Class of 1955, who lives in Rivesville.
