Class of 1959

We, the Class of 1959, celebrated our 50th reunion on April 24 and 25, 2009. This blog is about sharing memories of our class reunions and a long-ago life at our Alma Mater, S.F.X.A. and S.A.H.S. Good memories of days gone by but not forgotten! A gift to my classmates. ~Marian Ann Love ~

Ina Lott Whittington in Nursing Home

According to Ina's daughter, Rhonda, her mother is in the nursing home permanently at Shady Lawn Nursing Home. She is doing well and recently celebrated her 83rd birthday. Myrtle brought her a card, flowers, and candy bars. Her hair was cut short, and Myrtle said she looked great and had a wonderful visit. Sue also went by to see her while eating lunch and afterward went to her room to see the pretty flowers she had gotten. Sue said they had an enjoyable visit. You can send her a card to cheer her up to Shady Lawn Nursing Home, 60 Shady Lawn Place, Room 12A, Vicksburg, MS  39280. I know she would be happy to hear from her classmates. Keep her in your prayers, and may God Bless all our classmates.

Classmate Patsy McNamara LeBlanc, Sister Dies


Martha E. 'Shelly' McNamara, 80, formerly of Beaver County, passed away peacefully on February 5, 2024, at the Good Samaritan Hospice. 

Born in Vicksburg, MS, Shelly lived a life of strength, independence, and deep love for her family and animals.

Shelly moved to the area in 1961 and married shortly after. Her professional journey led her to become an office manager at Calebret Chemical.
Shelly was the loving daughter of the late Patrick Joseph and Mary Ruth (DeRossette) McNamara. She was a sister to her late sibling, Patricia (Patsy) LeBanc (Class of 1959). 

Shelly's legacy continues through her devoted children, Lynn (George), Denzinger, Darla (Joe), Gavalya, and Tim (Jeanette) Farley.

Her spirit will live on in the hearts of her six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.  

She leaves her seven siblings: Mike (Sandy) McNamara, Maggie (Bud) Husted, Alice Hebler, Pat McNamara, Art (Kathy) McNamara, Maureen (Steve) Nichols, and Laura) Gavalya, and Tim (Jeanette) Farley. 

She also shared a special bond with her dear friends Scott and Linda Kloes.

Beyond her work and family, Shelly had an enduring fascination with trains. 


Her love for animals was evident to all who knew her as she welcomed 

any pets into her home over the years, each becoming a cherished family member. 


Shelly also found solace and excitement in the pages of books.


By her wishes, all services will be private.
