Laurelle “Lou” Costello Hustead ‘doing great’

Son Jo-Jo DeMary reports that "Mom is doing great! Thanks for much for all the prayers."

Mom is Laurelle Costello Hustead, mother of Jo-Jo and Julie DeMary; Kim DeMary Clowers, Class of 1979, married to Earl Lee Clowers and living in Red Bank, Tennessee; and Joanne DeMary. Their father is Joe DeMary, who graduated from Monongah in the 1940s.

Jo-Jo adds: "Lee is doing a lot better, too."

The photo montage shows Laurelle, usually called Lou, recovering and the DeMary family gathering, with Laurelle/Lou circled in red.

If you have memories of the Hustead or DeMary families, email John Olesky at jo4wv@neo.rr.com  and the information will be relayed in another Monongah High blog article.
