She was born August 8, 1928 in Steubenville, a daughter of the late James V. and Ruth Hobson Wherry. In addition to her parents, Mrs. Albaugh was preceded in death by her husband, Otis A. Albaugh, on February 24, 1989.

Mrs. Albaugh earned her Bachelors and Master Degrees from Geneva College and then taught in the Steubenville City School System for more than thirty years. She was well known at SHS and was especially pleased with her record of never missing a Big Red home football game during the last fifty years.

Mrs. Albaugh is survived by her sister Julia “Judy” (Ken) Dunlope and niece Julia Williams, all of Dayton, Ohio; nephew Douglas (Debra) Dunlope of Columbus, Ohio; two great nephews; one great niece and two second cousins.

After her husband’s death, Mrs. Albaugh established and funded the Albaugh/Wherry Charitable Foundation. The primary beneficiaries of the foundation are graduating seniors from Steubenville High School who have a letter of acceptance from a state funded college or university in Ohio.

    Mrs. Albaugh was my next door neighbor on Jeannette Avenue for 20 years. I often think of her, Otis and their kindness to me during my youth.  I can only pay forward, but with her example that is much easier. Rest in Peace. Steve Franckhauser

    Yes, Otis and Pat were kind and patient with the Franckhauser kids. May they both rest in the peace of Jesus Christ.
