Edwin Allen Becker - (74)
November 2, 1938 - November 14, 2012
Long time [Culver, Indiana]
resident, E. Allen Becker passed away Wednesday, November 14 following a
brief yet valiant battle against cancer.
Becker was born November 2, 1938 to Edwin H. and Mary
Lewis Becker in Logansport, Indiana. Following the death of Mary Lewis,
Edwin married Margret Wilson. His mother, stepmother and father
preceded Becker in death.
As a child, Becker spent summers at Culver, Indiana,
located on the shores of his beloved Lake Maxinkuckee. After attending
Culver Summer Naval School as a member of the band, Becker continued his
association with the summer program as part of the Naval Summer School Staff.
As an adult, Becker’s association with the greater Culver community was
so strong, he and his family moved to the lake for the summer with Becker
making the daily commute to Logansport. A community leader in his
hometown of Logansport, Becker was also active in the Culver and Lake
Maxinkuckee community.
Becker married Judith (Judy) Furry on December 28, 1961,
who survives. Last year, the couple commemorated their 50th wedding
anniversary with their three children and respective families.
Shortly following his marriage to Judy Furry, despite, or
better said, in spite of being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in his
mid-twenties, Becker was determined to live a full and active life. At
a time when little was known about rheumatoid arthritis and even less was
known regarding treatment, Becker refused to accept the ramifications of the
disease described and predicted by his doctors early on. From the time
of his diagnosis, Becker raised three children, successfully directed and
expanded two long-time, well-known family businesses and actively served many
organizations in his hometown community of Logansport, Indiana.
Upon retirement from Alpha Industries in 1994, Becker
declared Culver as his permanent residence though he chose to escape the
harsh winters of Indiana by spending a few months in Venice, Florida.
Despite his failing physical condition, Becker was actively involved
with sailing programs in the greater Sarasota area as well as the Midwest.
At the time of his death, Becker was a Florida resident dividing his
time between Venice and Culver, family and friends.
During his lifetime Becker was associated with:
Logansport Salvation Army, Logansport YMCA, Logansport Junior
Achievement, Grissom Air Force Base Community Council, Maxinkuckee Yacht
Club, Culver Summer School Association, Inland Lake Yachting Association,
Sigma Nu Fraternity at University of Colorado, and Lake Maxinkuckee Environmental
Fund. In addition, Becker was a member of St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal
Church, Culver and also a lifetime member of several community service
organizations. Becker was a veteran of the Army National Guard.
Survivors include: son William Allen Becker (Bill),
Culver, Indiana, and his children Samantha and Alex; John Furry Becker, his
wife, Susan and their children Stuart and Jason as well as his daughter
Marylynn (Lynn) Becker DelDuco, her husband Darren and their children Evan,
Mia and Nick; brother Nelson (Dixie) and sister MaryAnna Swennumson
(Richard); stepsisters Patricia Cleveland, Margret Rothman and Linda Flannery
(Dick); stepbrother Loyal Wilson (Margret) and many nieces and nephews.
Viewing will be held on Monday, November 19 from 4-7 PM at
Odom’s Funeral Home in Culver. Services will take place on Tuesday,
November 20 at 11 AM at the CMA Memorial Chapel with internment immediately
following at the Union Township Cemetery located on IN Hwy 117.
Memorial Donations may be made to the Edwin H. Becker

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From the
Herald Newspaper:
An Ignacio man died this week in a single-car
accident while driving on a mountain road northeast of Silverton.
Bryan Graham, 68, drove
over a 300-foot-high embankment, said Melody Skinner, an administrative
assistant with the San Juan County Sheriff's Office. Graham was ejected, and
the car broke into three pieces.
The accident occurred either
Sunday or Monday on Maggie Gulch Road (San Juan County Road 23), Skinner
said. Graham called his daughter about 1 p.m. Sunday to say he was going to
Silverton.
The accident scene was
found by a mountain biker who lives in Silverton. Graham drove over a sheet
of ice that was visible but very slick, said Colorado State Patrol Cpl. Jared
Rapp, who investigated the accident.
"Even if (roads
are) not posted closed, it's still treacherous driving," Rapp said.
Skinner warned residents
and visitors that the roads around Silverton may have ice that is difficult
to navigate. Usually the roads are covered with snow this time of year, she
said, but the warm weather has created random ice patches that melt and
refreeze during the day.
"A lot of our roads
appear to be dry," Skinner said, "but then when you get into shady
spots, there's ice. We have serious ice conditions, even if you think it
looks like summer up here." (4-23-08) Back to Top of Page

Harry Merland Noble - (56)
June-13-1938 - July 9, 1994 (Indianapolis, IN)
Merland
died of complications following surgery in 1981 to replace a cancerous
kidney. A bad blood transfusion (this was prior to the blood

C. His death occurred at the R. Roudebush Veterans Hospital in
Indianapolis on July 9, 1994. Merland was often ill from the time of
the surgery until his death.

he was somehow poisoned and given a medical discharge and suffered severely
from asthma. Merland was a chef for many years until he was forced to
take full disability because of his deteriorating health.
A son John survives, from Merland's second
marriage which ended in the 70s; as does his mother who now lives in Nevada,
and a sister Ella Line (Bob) who also live in Nevada. Merland's
last love was murdered in Cincinnati, at which time he just seemed to give up
on finding that special someone.
A musician in high school, Merland continued to play
his trombone in the Army Band; and took lessons from Dave Baker until he
could no longer breathe properly.
He is still dearly missed by his mother and
sister.
The Hertz-Thomas Funeral Home in Kankakee,
Illinois, was in charge of the arrangements and cremation in 1994.

July 22, 1939 - Aug 31,

JEANETTA WARNER Jeanetta Ruth (Sievers) Warner was born
July 22, 1939, in Logansport, Indiana, to William Marion Sievers and Doris
May Sievers along with sisters Marcie (Sievers) Brewer, Pat (Sievers, Erny)
Walter, June (Sievers) Neal, and brother David Sievers. She passed away on Monday, August 31, 2015,
while staying at TriCities Chaplaincy Hospice in Kennewick, Washington.
Jeanetta is
survived by children Christy (Warner) Brown, David Warner, Ginger Warner, and
John Warner, grand-daughters Brittany (Warner) Dickens, Marissa Brown, Mariah
(Brown) Erlenbush, Marina Brown, Taylor Warner, and Chloe Elia, grandsons
Maurice Brown Jr., Lawrence Brown, and Micah Elia.
 At eighteen years old, she was employed at Delta Airlines
as a teletype operator. During her
career with them, she lived in New York City, NY, and Chicago, Illinois. She later settled in Victorville,
California, and resided there for thirty five years. Until she retired, Jeanetta Warner was very
involved in the educational system in California. Prior to retirement, she was employed as a
Media Center Supervisor for the Silver Valley School District. She was technologically gifted for her
time. She was the first educational
advisor who not only introduced Apple computers to the district, but also
implemented the bar-coding system. She
had a passion for education, knowledge, progression, and assisting students,
peers, coworkers, family, etc.
In 1989, she
was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer and was given six months to live. After chemotherapy, Jeanetta continued to
battle cancer for nearly a decade.
After her final episode, she was cancer free for approximately fifteen
years. Due to her poor health
conditions, Jeanetta was relocated from Victorville, California, to Pasco,
Washington, to live with her oldest daughter, Christy Brown, her husband
Maurice Brown Sr., and granddaughters Marissa Brown, Mariah Erlenbush, and
Marina Brown for the last six years of her life. Jeanetta loved her family, Dr. Phil, Panda
Express orange chicken, pizza, Diet Coke, the color blue, foot massages,
helping those in need, babies/children, and Japanese red maple trees.
The family of
Jeanetta Warner would like to thank those who have supported, comforted, and
prayed for her and our family during and after her life. They would also like the thank her medical
doctors Dr. Teresita Clar de Jesus, Dr. Wing Chau, and Dr. Thomas Tan (along
with many others that were involved in her health care), the hospice team of
Nancy, Gail, Kendra, and Geanna, who cared for and remained by Jeanetta until
her last breath at the TriCities Chaplaincy Hospice in Kennewick,
Washington. You all provided excellent
and exceptional care for her and we are forever grateful.
Jeanetta
Warner will always be remembered as a beautiful, loving, witty, caring, wise,
intelligent, selfless woman. Words
will never be able to fully describe the kind of admirable woman she was;
along with the amount of grief of her loss, but joy for her to no longer be
in suffering. She may be gone, but
will never be forgotten. (9-29-2015

C. "Ted" Yeazel, Major, USAFR, Ret. was taken from us too soon
Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at home with his wife, Alison, at his bedside under
the care of Halifax Health Hospice of Volusia/Flagler.
Born in 1939 in Detroit, MI, and moved to Logansport,
IN, where he spent most of his youth. Ted joined the Air Force in 1957
and became an AF Navagator in 1961, flying in Viet Nam and around the world.
He spent 34 years in aviation, retiring in 2002 from TWA/AA and moved
to Palm Coast, FL, in 2003.
His devotion to aviation prompted his involvement
with the Ormond Civil Air Patrol. Ted became Commander in 2009, but
relinquished this position shortly thereafter due to illness.
Ted is survived by his wife of 34 years, Alison; his
son, Mark of Kansas City, MO; and his granddaughter, Deziah; his sister,
Lynne Pryor; nephews, Chris and Eric and their families.

Picture of Ted holding American Flag.
On 9 June 2009, Florida Wing Commander Col. Christian F Moersch performed the
Change of Command ceremony for the Ormond Beach Senior Squadron. Lt. Col.
Joseph Wisniewski (not pictured) handed over the reins of command of the 210
Squadron to Major Edward (Ted) Yeazel.
Major Yeazel joined the Civil Air Patrol five years ago when he and his
wife Alison moved to Palm Coast Florida. Major Yeazel retired from the
USAF as a Navigator and Instructor. He met his lovely wife who was also
a USAF Major and Flight Nurse while on active duty. This makes the
Yeazel household a Double Major. Ted has been the acting squadron
emergency services officer and a wing alerting officer for several years.
He, like all of us now under his command and leadership, are very
excited about his new role and are looking forward to the challenges that lie
ahead. He will be working closely with the new Group II commander, Lt.
Col. Joseph Wisniewski in the weeks and months ahead.
