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 Endowment for Culver Education
Foundation (CEF), PO Box 441, Logansport, IN 45947 or the Lake Maxinkuckee

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
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

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.

Jeanetta Ruth Sievers Warner - (76)
July 22, 1939 - Aug 31, 2015 (Kennewick, Wash.)
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

Edward
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.
A Celebration of Life/ Memorial service will be held

Special
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.
