Pinkstons celebrate 25th wedding anniversary

On June 18, 2005, Connie (Hurst) and Kevin Pinkston of Bonne Terre, along with their children, parents, grandparents, many relatives and friends celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. They were married June 14, 1980 in Desloge. Their parents are Dale and Pat Pinkston of Ste. Genevieve and Charles and Joyce Hurst of St. Mary. Grandparents are MM Delmar Boyd, the late Doris (Moore) Boyd and the late MM Earl Lowe. A surprise DVD presentation included photos of beloved grandparents Edward and Louise Hurst and Austin and Alta Pinkston which made them realize how much joy they'd brought to each other and family members throughout the years.

The couple renewed their vows during a special 5 p.m. mass at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in St. Mary. "Father Rich" blessed their rings and gave the couple a special anniversary blessing. A reception and dinner followed the ceremony at the Immaculate Conception Parish Hall with their Best Man "Jimmy" Wirth and Maid of Honor Judy (Tucker) Hartz in attendance to help make their day special.

Connie and Kevin have three sons, Jason [and Rachelle] Pinkston, Rodney and Dustin Pinkston all of Ste. Genevieve County.
