Class Notes

Linda Gulnac Steelman sent sad news of the loss of husband Bill on Feb. 4, 2020, after a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. They had planned to move to a continuing-care community in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania; Linda did move there in June. She likes the community and beautiful wooded campus, and has been able to join book groups and a bell choir that practices outside. 

I am so sorry for your loss, Linda, but I, Linkey Booth Green, am glad you are close by me. Perhaps we can get together once the COVID issue ends. 

Mary A. Settle Johnson, my freshman roomie, had a recurrence of her cancer but had successful treatment. She still lies in Panama City Beach, Florida. 

[Editors’ note: Linkey Booth Green also prepared notes for the online-only fall/ winter issue. We republish a shortened version here.] 

Betty Caudle Marshall shared the sad news that her husband, Tom, passed away April 29, 2020. Some UMW friends called him “Precious Tom.” Last fall Betty and Tom had hosted some of his friends from elementary school who were also Mary Washington alumnae, including Anne Marchant Long and Betsey Burke Christian. Betty also heard from Betsy Chamberlain Hartz and Virginia Walker Jarvis. 

Elizabeth “Ibby” Le Sueur retired from teaching and lives in Louisville, Kentucky.
