1940s

Anna McGee Moody ’48, Bellingham, Wash., worked as a probation officer at Whatcom County Juvenile Court in Washington for 25 years and, through the court system, monitored dependency cases and handled adoptive home studies. After retiring from the county, she continued conducting adoptive home studies until she was 80 years old. She has four daughters, one grandson and one great-granddaughter. Her hobbies include swimming, walking down by the waterfront in Bellingham, reading and playing bridge on Monday nights.

McGee meets her future husband Fred Moody ’49, Marine vet and Sigma Nu alum, on the steps of the Theta House after the invasion of Iwo Jima in 1945. This photo was taken by fellow Theta sister Margery Hunter Brown ’50, M.A.’53, J.D.’75, who later became one of the first women to enter UM’s law school and established the Indian Law Clinic.

Donna Fanning ’48, from Butte, McGee, Billie McDonald Carvey ’48, and Marjorie Splan Stapp ’45, all from Great Falls, sit on the steps of UM’s Kappa Alpha Theta House circa 1945.

The roommates (in the same order) reunited around the early 1990s.
