Mini-Biopics of Erin, Kathleen, and Carol MacAleney

Erin (1958-), Kathleen (1960-), and Carol (1964-) are daughters of John MacAleney (1911-1979), and thus, half sisters of Dr Dave Menke (1951-). They are mentioned here briefly because they are Dr Dave's siblings. However, more information about them, and their families, will be detailed in a different blog related to the MacAleney family alone.

Erin Elizabeth MacAleney, known as "Bitsy," was born and raised in St Louis, Missouri. She earned college degrees in Chemistry, then met a man and got married. Erin and her husband have three children and live near St Louis in Pontoon Beach, Illinois (across the Mississippi River).

Kathleen Anne MacAleney, known as "Annie," was also born and raised in St Louis, Missouri. She skipped college, got a job, met a man and got married. Kathleen and her husband have one child and live in St Louis.

Carol Jeanne MacAleney, known as "Jeannie," was also born and raised in St Louis, Missouri. at the age of 2 1/2 she developed scarlet fever. Before she was able to get medical treatment, the illness caused permanent brain damage due to a high fever. As a result, she has spent most of her life in a State facility.

  1. David,

    I would like to point out that none of them were actually raised in St. Louis. Not really. They moved around a lot. Lived in Virginia and Arizona. And my mother was born in Illinois. Check it!

  2. P.P.S It's "Betsy." She was born in Illinois. She had Scarlet Fever. She also has 1 degree in Chemistry. I'll let you figure out the other one.

    Jeannie was born in Utah.


    I must edit that they were not born in St. Louis. Raised is an appropriate term.
