I was connected to Mary Lea through my grandfather and grandmother Rohrbough. I remember her so clearly and fondly. I can just hear her voice and remember being in the Baileys´ house in Homestead Acres. Much love to Sara, , and Becky from Kathy Rowlands (now Kate Hayes).

Mary Lea had music in every cell of her body. We bonded over discussions of Oglebay Park. Even in her last years, all I had to do was mention Wheeling and Oglebay and she connected. We both loved it. Good fellow resident at WBDR.
