Standiford,
Ann Ligouria Standiford, nee Davis
Source:
Grisell Funeral Home, New Martinsville, West Virginia; Oct 2016
Ann
Ligouria Standiford (Davis) left this life on Monday, October 24, 2016. She is
preceded in death by her parents, Joseph Arthur Davis and Margaret
(Mullin)Davis; two brothers, Tom and Joe Davis; and her husband of 52 years,
the late William Eugene Standiford.
She is
survived by three (six) cherished children: Tom (Teresa) Standiford of New
Martinsville, W.Va; Bridgett (Erich) Reger of Huntington, W.Va; and Bob
(Danielle) Standiford of New Martinsville, W.Va. and six (seven) beloved
grandchildren: Staci (Daniel) Fonner of Coventry, England; T.J. Standiford of
St. Petersburg, FL; Trevor Standiford, Ellie Reger, and Paige Reger of
Huntington, W.Va; and Kiera Standiford of New Martinsville, W.Va.
“Mammam,” as she became known after grandchildren starting showing up,
was born on March 31, 1936, in Sistersville, W.Va., and even after spending 60
years living in New Martinsville, she still proudly called herself a
Sistersvillian. She worked at the New Martinsville Public Library for 35 years,
and loved all “libaries,” as she called them. In recent years, she visited
Drinko Library at Marshall University and the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh,
wandering from room to room pointing and “aw-ing” out loud.
She was
an avid reader who especially loved Max Lucado books and a talented
cross-stitcher who shared her gift by making things for her loved ones. Her
other loves included all things chocolate and the many precious animals she
cared for through the years (a few cats, many dogs, and even a goat. Yes, a
goat). She enjoyed playing cards and games, having an adventure, or living one
vicariously through a loved one. When she was in the kitchen, she flopped a tea
towel over her shoulder for convenience and would nibble on various things,
then put them in the fridge for months. A peek in her freezer would reveal
about eight McDonald’s iced coffees in various states of “finished.”
She
could often be found walking her dog Yogi or participating in events and Bible
studies at the New Martinsville United Methodist Church (formerly St. John’s),
where she was a member for 60 years. Or sitting on a tall kitchen stool, eating
her lunch, reading a book (held open by a railroad spike), and looking out the
window to see if she could catch a glimpse of any of the neighborhood humming
birds.
Her
quintessential outfit was high-wasted elastic pants with a blouse, cardigan,
and her trusty Keds. And, if she was out, a long green dog “lish” hung over her
shoulder, because if she was out, Yogi wasn’t far behind.
She was
quirky and silly, wearing big hats for winter and summer, jumping up and down
on Maple Avenue as she watched the Magnolia Marching Band head to the football
field, and even taking a motorcycle ride from a complete stranger…when she was
in her 70s.
Her
prescription for life would include a soul-mate-dog, a good book, a daily nap,
and a piece of chocolate at bedtime. She never quite mastered the art of the
whisper or perfected more than a handful of dinners, but her excitement and
love for her family and friends never waned. Often, you would get a
hand-over-the-mouth giggle or a “bully for you!” after sharing good news with
her, or perhaps a tall, bony hug and a “goody goody!”
She
will be missed dearly and never forgotten, as we wait patiently for the day we
will join her in Heaven.
Family
will receive friends honoring Ann on Thursday from 9 am until time of funeral
service at Noon at the Grisell Funeral Home & Crematory 751 Third St. New
Martinsville with Pastor Sharletta Green officiating.
Interment will follow in Northview Cemetery, New Martinsville.
In lieu
of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Ann’s name to the New
Martinsville United Methodist Church 10 Howard Dr. New Martinsville, WV 26155
or Wetzel County Humane Society P.O. Box 395 New Martinsville, WV 26155.

James Robert Tipton, formerly of Sandusky Street, died at
Bradford House II at Brethren Care Village on November 9, 2016.
He was born in Jerusalem, Ohio (Monroe County) to James Bert
and Emily Danford King Tipton on August 29, 1914.
He married Ruth Burcher on June 14, 1939 and they were married
for over 66 years. To them were born
three children, Peggy Lutz (Edwin), James Tipton (Cindy), and Nancy Davis
(Bob). Ruth preceded him in death in
2006. His sister, Libby Tipton Thomas (Louis) also preceded him in death.
Bob graduated from Sunsbury High School which later became
Beallsville High School. He met Ruth in
junior high school and they both attended and graduated from Ohio University
where Bob was a state champion wrestler. He attended the Stout Institute and
did graduate work at Ohio University and Ohio State.
Bob came to Ashland in 1940 when he was hired to teach Industrial
Arts at Ashland High School, after having taught in Buchtel and in
Barnesvillle, Ohio. During one summer
of the WWII era, he took a maintenance job at the Eagle Rubber Company and this
began his long career there where he ultimately became Executive Vice
President. After retiring from Eagle
Rubber in 1979, he joined his friend, Bob Archer, in a new venture when they
purchased an Eagle Rubber subsidiary, “Kent Sporting Goods.” He worked at Kent in New London, Ohio until
1999 when he retired to spend all of his time with his beloved “Susie,” his
name for Ruth, at the home they built on Sandusky Street.
Bob was a talented woodworker and made many pieces of
furniture in their home. Bob and Ruth
enjoyed traveling extensively around the world during their retirement
years. They also enjoyed many trips to
visit their children and grandchildren, Jeffrey Lutz (Pam), Scott Lutz,
Jennifer Tipton Cinkosky (Michael) and Jim Tipton (Tanya ), Meg Geary (Shawn),
Libby Manning (Matt), and Bob Davis (Stephanie.) Bob had 18 great grandchildren and 8 great great grandchildren as
well as three nephews, David (Cari), Joseph (Marney) and Dan (Anne) Thomas and
three nieces, Ruth Ann Owens, Mary Lou Cotton and Kathleen Moore.
Bob was a long time member of the First Christian Church where
he had served in many roles from Sunday School teacher to Chairman of the
Board.
He was the last remaining member of the Owls Club, a group of
AHS teachers from the 1940’s. He served as a member of the Ashland Noon Lions,
the Ashland Chamber of Commerce, the Masonic Lodge, the Shrine Club, the
Ashland City School Board of Education, the Community Chest which became the
United Appeal, the Ashland County Historical Association and the YMCA. He was a founding member of the Ashland
County Community Foundation. He had
also served as a board member of the Cleveland Christian Home.
Bob was instrumental in starting the United Appeal (United
Way) in Ashland and was the first President of the organization. It was his
desire to help people who worked hard but who needed help due to their
circumstances. Because his mother was
widowed when he was two years old, he had great compassion for people in
difficult circumstances.
For over 10 years, Bob lived at Brethren Care Village where he
was lovingly cared for by members of the staff who were occasionally reminded
that he was still in charge. The family
is especially grateful to the Bradford House II staff for the patient and
tender care provided to Bob.
Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 p.m. Saturday,
November 26 at the First Christian Church of Ashland with Pastor Libby Davis
Manning officiating. Friends may call
from 11-1 before the service at the church.
Heyl Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
Bob loved Ashland and was grateful for the life he lived here
and for the many wonderful people he met along his journey. Memorial gifts may be made to the ACCF
Tipton Fund (which supports the endowment funds of First Christian Church,
United Way, ACCF, and the Ashland Symphony Orchestra), 300 College Avenue, or

Former Carl Hayden basketball
coach Pete Tuccio dies
Pete Tuccio, who moved over as head boys basketball coach
at Phoenix Carl Hayden in 1982 to allow Argie Rhymes to lead the team, died on
March 29. He was 87.
Rhymes came to Carl Hayden after Phoenix Union closed in
1982.
Tuccio, who coached against Rhymes when he played at
Phoenix Union in the late 1960s, became Rhymes' right-hand man during the
Falcons' great run of success through the 1980s and '90s that led to four state
championships.
Tuccio helped Rhymes out at Carl Hayden as a bench coach up
until two years ago, Rhymes said.
"He would still come out at practice and help out when
he could," Rhymes said.
Rhymes said that Tuccio was direct and caring and always
put student before athlete while working with kids.
"When you'd ask him a question, he'd tell you what he
thought," Rhymes said. "He wouldn't beat around the bush. He'd tell
it like it is."
Through all of the success and players receiving all-state
honors, Tuccio was quick to shed perspective.
"He'd say, 'Mr. Rhymes, it's not about the wins, it's
about the students,' '' Rhymes said. "He'd say, 'You've got to get them
ready for life outside of basketball.' ''
A celebration of Coach Tuccio's life will be held Saturday
at 1 p.m. at Carl Hayden High, 3333 W. Roosevelt St., Phoenix.
