Rose and George Storey lived in Skinker DeBaliviere for over a half century.
They raised their eight children here, were active at St. Roch, with neighborhood associations, and with the 28th Ward Regular Democratic Club.
We acknowledge their memories this year as George celebrates his 90th birthday (Rose is 86), When the couple married, they lived in a multi-family in the 5700 block of Kingsbury in the area that is now Kingsbury Square.
There were a number of Jewish families from Eastern Europe, part of a large Jewish presence in our neighborhood for decades. Before moving farther west in the late 1950s, several synagogues served them here, including one whose windows are still visible on DeBaliviere, next to the fire station. Paul Schoomer, who owned Paul’s Books on Delmar for many years recalled his Bar Mitzvah there. Rose recalled a Jewish family named Cahillane (Callahan in the phone book!), with whom her family was very close for many years who lived on the first floor of their apartment building. Rose and George moved into a large home on 5700 Waterman by the bridge to fit their growing family. Rose shared some of the good memories of raising their eight children here.
She took them to the Muny to sit in the free seats.
During the summers, the kids were able to swim at Wash U.
They all attended St. Roch School and formed lifelong ties.
They also found friends in the increasingly diverse neighborhood. Rose acknowledged the difficulties with crime five decades ago. People used to ask them to get across the bridge safely.
They stayed the course; there was no comparable affordable house and they were involved in preserving the neighborhood. Rose always participated in the annual Mother’s Day flower sale. George became politically involved, ran unsuccessfully for citywide office, and then served as 28th Ward Committeeman.
He also served as a member of the airport commission.
He worked at McDonnell Douglas.
He was a fixture on the links at Forest Park. Rose went to work at St. Mary’s as the children grew older.
She then was appointed to the county office that George had unsuccessfully sought. Court reform consolidated some of the offices. Rose then worked for the Clerk of the Circuit Court and then headed the Earnings Tax division of the Collector of Revenue.
She became Committeewoman of the 28th Ward in the early 1990s and helped select Lyda Krewson as Democratic nominee for alderman in 1997. More recently George and Rose moved to a more accessible condo in Brentwood.
They enjoy their memories of many good years in Skinker DeBaliviere in a changing, challenging, and ultimately gratifying environment. Happy 90th George.
