Carole attended Greendale Grade School, Lawrenceburg High School and graduated from Indiana University with bachelor of science degrees in criminology and psychology. Likewise, her sisters, Gail. Nancy, and Jean, all graduated from IU with degrees in education. Carole leaves behind a legacy of what can be achieved with hard work, dedication and the necessity to raise a family on your own. Her devotion to her sons and their respect and love for her made the family a pillar of admiration around the community of Manassas. She had several positions in the juvenile justice field and often worked extra jobs to provide for the family. For many years she was a juvenile probation officer and intake supervisor for Prince William County, until her retirement in 2000. Carole raised her children to always respect others and never give up no matter how difficult life can be. She had a great sense of humor and calmness about her that always put people around her at ease. In 2012, an old classmate from grade school and high school contacted her when she didn't show up for her 50-year reunion, that led to their marriage on her birthday in 2003. Carole then became the wife of *Augustus Cook. They resided in Acworth, GA, on a lake until she made the recent visit to her son's home for the holidays. Her laughter, warmth, and caring nature will he truly missed by all who knew her. She defined the term “Mother" and will live forever in our hearts. Her life was celebrated in Manassas, VA. Gus Cook, Carole’s husband, wrote from Acworth, GA: Carole* passed on January 8, 2018. She had several instances of pneumonia following a 2014 surgery that left her in intensive care for 31 days. We had a wonderful life together before that incident Gus and I are retired, living in Georgia on a 30 acre lake north of Marrietta. If you drive up I-75 north of Atlanta, we are only a short distance off the highway. Graduates, March 2015 I married a young man from Gary, Indiana that I met at school after I graduated from Indiana University. We had five sons. We moved to California and then to Virginia. I was divorced about 11 years later and never remarried. I was fortunate enough to get a job as a Juvenile Probation Officer with the state court system here in Virginia and worked there for 28 years until I retired 01/01/00. I loved my job but wanted to sleep late for a while. At this time I have 7 grandchildren; the youngest is three days old and the oldest is 14 years old. One son lives in NJ with his family, two live in Maryland with their families, and 2 live here in Manassas, Va. I have been blessed with the chore of baby-sitting three grandchildren ages 11, 8, and 6. They keep me moving. I get to go swimming, play miniature golf, go bowling and watch the Disney channel on TV and call it work! I love it. Although I have emphysema, I feel really good, it just slows me down a bit. I have been truly blessed! Carole - August 4, 2002 Click here for the rest of the story:

Mary Ann Ryan - 12/20/1934 - 8/16/2022 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Ann Ryan of Lawrenceburg, IN at the age of 87 years at Shady Nook Care Center. She will be lovingly remembered and dearly missed by her brother, Michael (Vera) of Osoyoos, BC, Canada, niece, Kathleen; nephew, Marc (Emily); great-nephew, Lee and great-niece, Silvie of Toronto, ON, Canada and cousins, Rollin (Marlene) Manford, Gary Manford, Douglas (Carolyn) Manford, Stephen (Sue) Manford, Patrick Ryan and god-child, Michelle Fries. Mary Ann was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Marguerite and two infant brothers, John Edward and Sonny as well as her cousin Jim Ryan. She graduated from St. Lawrence School and Lawrenceburg Consolidated High School and was a life-long member of St. Lawrence Parish. Mary Ann worked for 45 years at Greendale Utility where she rose to be Office Manager. Mary Ann excelled in school and found her artistic talent through high school art classes. She worked in various media: charcoal, pen & ink and oil. She was extremely active in her parish church community in Religious Education, as a member of the Legion of Mary and as Liturgical Coordinator as well as serving as a regular lector and Eucharistic Minister. Coffee with friends after morning Mass and a standing reservation at Whisky's for dinner following Saturday evening Mass were regular pleasures for Mary Ann. She also loved music and drama and held season's tickets at the Playhouse in Cincinnati. Mary Ann returned to college in 1981 to obtain her B.A. degree as a mature student at Mount St. Joseph on the Ohio. After 6 1/2 years of attending weekend and night classes, she graduated magna cum laude with her bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts and Psychology. Travel brought her great pleasure, especially trips to the North Carolina seashore. Perhaps her most memorable trips were to Ireland, Scotland and England with four friends in 1972 and to Einsiedeln, Switzerland in 2003. In 2013, after a fall, Mary Ann moved from her home in Greendale to Pine Knoll Assisted Living Center where she spent four contented years in the company of a number of friends and fellow parishioners. In 2018, she moved to Shady Nook Care Center where she could receive more appropriate care. I graduated from the College of Mount St. Joseph in May 1987. I retired six and a half years ago from Greendale Utilities where I was office manager and bookkeeper. I am planning to move soon to 25 Cook Avenue in Greendale, as we have a sale pending on the home I have lived in since I was three years old. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion. - July 2002

Deceased	EUGENE STAHL The sun set, but set not his hope. Biology Club 1; FBLA 3; Class Officer 4; Track 1. I just learned yesterday that Gene Stahl died a few weeks ago. I'm not sure if I gave you any information about him. He did respond to the first letter by e-mail, but said he would be unable to attend because of his health. He traveled to various parts of the world with the military for 21 years and in 1976 retired and settled in Texas. I obtained his address from his sister, who lives in this area. April 4, 2002 - Mary Ann Letter to Carole Metz - 10/20/2001: Carol, I don't remember exactly who you are, but do recognize the address in Greendale. I, too have not attended past reunions due to college and a subsequent 21 year career in the Army. I retired and decided to settle in Texas as it is less cold than in Indiana. I have often thought back to the size of our graduating class as opposed to ones today. The reason I can't make it is my health doesn't permit me to travel very easy anymore. I have what they call C.O.P.D. which is a lung disease which is a combination of bronchitis and emphysema from smoking too much in my earlier years. I am on oxygen about 16 hours a day and when I'm not, I have it with me all the time. I ride around in a motorized wheel chair because of the shortness of breath when I walk too much. Hence, with all the breathing treatments I have to take and the oxygen and all, it's like getting a dog and pony show together to travel. And then too, the airlines requires special arrangements if you are on oxygen. They have to provide it, you can't use your own. All this since the Valu-Jet crash incident. Enough of this rambling, I told Shirley to send me the e-mail addresses of other class members who had them. Almost forgot, I did marry, have two boys and a daughter and six grandchildren. Two of the grandchildren graduated from high school this year, so could have great grandchildren any time although I hope not. Would love to see them get their education first. Good to hear from you, Gene. Gene is in Texas and can't come for health reasons, but would like to hear from others with e-mail addresses. January, 2002

GEORGE WEAMIRE

I to manhood am so arrived so neat'.

Biology 1; Latin Choir 1.

George Howard Weamire was born to Louis Albiga Weamire and Antoinette Elenore Schwarz on June 24, 1934, in Aurora, Indiana and passed away February 15, 2024 at home in Friend, Nebraska at the age of 89 years 7 months and 22 days. He was the oldest child with a younger sister Carolyn Ann and younger brother Paul Elmer.

George grew up in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. He attended St. Lawrence Catholic School for grades 1-8 and graduated high school from Lawrenceburg Consolidated High School in May 1952. After high school he worked at the local sawmill and electric plant. He made the decision to join the Air Force in 1953. He served until 1957. After being home for a year, he reenlisted and made the Air Force his career, retiring in April 1980. In his 26 years in the Air Force, he saw much of the world: England, Africa (French Morocco/The Kingdom of Morocco), Thailand, the Netherlands, Norway and many locations within the US.

George met his wife and the love of his life, Gerda, on November 22, 1969, while stationed in the Netherlands. They met on a blind date through mutual friends. Gerda introduced herself as “Carol” as she didn’t think he could pronounce her name correctly. He said differently and the rest as they say is history. They were married on February 10, 1971. Included in the package was Gerda’s daughter Michelle, who was 3 when they met. George never thought twice and took her as his own from day 1. Their union brought 4 more children: Gunther, Diana, Garth and Gwynn. After the Netherlands they lived in Florida, Norway and Georgia.

When George retired, the family moved to Lennox, SD. He worked for the State of South Dakota in disaster preparedness and decided in 1982 to obtain a double major in education & special education from Augustana College in Sioux Falls. He taught for 3 years in South Dakota and in August 1988 took a teaching job in Whitter, Alaska. He taught for 2 years there and retired again. From 1990 - 1997 he worked at the Military Fuel Storage facility doing various jobs. He volunteered for the Whittier Fire Department from 1998 - 2019 as a fireman and maintenance man. He also volunteered from 1990 - 2018 as Santa for the children in Whittier arriving every year on the fire truck.

George and his wife moved to Nebraska in August 2021 and settled into a nice apartment in Friend. They truly enjoyed being closer to their daughters and they met many new friends in the short time they were there.

George enjoyed many things in his lifetime: fishing, hunting, reading, wine making, crossword puzzles, reading comics, and growing jalapenos. He was also an avid model railroad collector for many, many years. He was a member of the American Legion (67 years), the VFW, the Knights of Columbus, the Lions Club and the National Model Railroad Association. He received a quilt of honor for his service in March 2022.

George’s Catholic upbringing had a lasting impact on his life. He was a lector at church and made it a point when he moved to Nebraska to go to daily Mass.

George is preceded in death by his parents, sister, mother and father-in-law, one sister-in-law and two brothers-in-law.

George is survived by his wife Gerda, of 53 years, Friend, NE; daughter Michelle Bachtell, Lincoln NE; son Gunther Weamire, Honolulu, HI; Diana (Rod) Krupicka, Milligan, NE; Garth Weamire, Bee Cave, TX; Gwynn (Bee) Weamire, London, England.
