Vaughn Bogdan Basine, 80, of Marlinton, WV left this world on Monday, June 14, 2021 after becoming ill with cholangiocarcinoma.

She was born February 9, 1941 in New Britain, Connecticut, and was the daughter of the late Joseph and Regina Basine.  After graduation from Loomis Chaffee High School, she studied sculpture at Rhode Island School of Design.  She held a Masters in English from Yale University and a Masters in Psychology from University of Houston Clear Lake.

Vaughn was variously employed as an art teacher, a teacher of English as a second language, a parole officer, an elementary school teacher in inner city public school and a psychologist.

She was an artist, a member of artistic organizations and created the log creature at Buckeye Bend.  She loved to play music and sing.  She performed throughout her life and often attended music festivals.  She was "horse crazy" and couldn't get enough of riding, showing and breeding horses.  She was an active member of the Religious Society of Friends for much of her life.  Peace, animal welfare, global warming, women's rights, and vegetarian diets are just some of the issues she championed.  She spoke several languages, enjoyed traveling abroad and had friends from around the world.  She is missed and remembered by many.
