Larry David Bledsoe
July 6, 1947 - August 19, 2020
Larry David Bledsoe 73, of Zionsville, passed away August 19, 2020. Larry was born on July 6, 1947 in Indianapolis, Indiana as the son of Uhl “Bill” and Betty Jane Bledsoe.
After graduating high school, Larry joined the United States Army and served his country during the Vietnam War as the crew chief on a CH-47 Chinook helicopter. After the war Larry went on to attend Purdue University where he received an associate degree in computer science. It was also after the war when he married the love of his life, Norma Nixon. The two were married in 1971 and would be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this January. Larry was then offered a job with Citizens Gas where he worked his way up to Manager of Gas Control before his retirement.
Larry was the type of man that never met a stranger. He had numerous friends and loved his family dearly. He had a great sense of humor, was always quick with a joke and great commentary. Larry was an avid reader and never passed up the opportunity to purchase a new book. Larry not only had a love for people but also a huge love for animals, especially dogs. His greatest hobby and interest, though, was his love for cars and racing. Larry was always known for having the “cool” car. Ever since he was old enough to drive his vehicle was something he took much pride in, including his blue Corvette that he still has. He was an avid follower of NASCAR and Dale Earnhardt. He enjoyed the Indianapolis 500 and he attended over 40 races. Larry also was a drag racer in his younger years, you could say that fast cars was in his blood.
Larry is survived by his wife, Norma Bledsoe; daughter, Cindy (Hunter) Austin; son, Aaron Bledsoe; granddaughter, Molly; grandson, Collin; sister, Lisa (Mike) Drew; nephews: Spencer, Joshua, Ryan; and niece, Trisha.

She was loved and respected by the many students she taught through her years at Decatur Central High School. Two of those students were with her when she passed away. Below is a facebook post from one of them. "As so many of you saw in an earlier post today former student David Gene Moscrip, his fiancé Jenny Barnes and myself were at her bedside when former Decatur teacher Joyce Kutzavich left this world and was promoted to Heaven. I spent much time with her these past few months. She was a teacher to the end.
As her medical power of attorney, I purchased a legal portfolio so that I could keep all of the documents readily available. One night those papers were in disarray, and as I was talking to her trying to shuffle papers and getting them all straight, she looked at me with "that teacher look" and demanded "Stop fidgeting with those papers!" So I did! Earlier in the process, as she was relating various points of business and details of her treatment, she said "I think you should take notes when I talk so that you don't forget anything." So I did! For the past several weeks, as I was sitting at her bedside trying to find out how her day went or if anything needed to be done, I sat there and wrote down everything she said. It just made things go better.
There was one thread to our discussions over the last couple of months. We talked about her days at Decatur Central. One of the things she says so many times was "I spent my entire life being a teacher. I would like to think when it's all said and done that I made a difference, that I challenged my students how to think and express themselves."I told her from the depths of my heart "Mrs K, you will never know just how many of us you touched, how many of us you were affected for the entire rest of our lives. You did well, you really did." There will come a day when we can discuss Mayan ruins, and "shoes, and ships, and sealing wax, and cabbages and Kings" again. I will be eternally grateful for being asked to try to return the favor and be there for her in what amounted to be some of her last days. Rest well dear lady, thank you for everything. I'll see you again."

Michael "Mike" Curran
September 12, 1947 — January 1, 2024
Michael “Mike” Steven Curran, 76, of Indianapolis, Indiana, passed away on January 1, 2024. He was born on September 12, 1947, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to parents, John “Jack” Curran, Sr. and Betty (Jones) Curran.
On July 3, 1974, Mike married the love of his life, Paula (Wright) Curran, sharing 49 years of love and adventure together. During their many years together, Mike and Paula raised two sons and he found great joy in spending time with his family. His love for them knew no bounds, and he cherished every moment spent together creating beautiful memories.
After completing his high school education, Mike was accepted at Purdue University before immediately being drafted into the Army. His dedication and commitment were evident during his years of military service. He served his country honorably and made invaluable contributions throughout his time in the Army. Upon completion of his time in the military, Mike went on to earn an accounting degree from Butler University.
Mike was a proud father and grandfather, always supporting his sons and grandchildren through life. He took great pride in coaching his son's intermural sports and little league teams when they were young. Their special bond continued through adulthood as Mike was always a supportive father and friend. He loved attending his grandchildren's events and was always their biggest fan.
One of Mike's favorite hobbies was golfing. Known as "Iron Mike" by his golf buddies, he thoroughly enjoyed the camaraderie that came with the sport. His skill on the course was impressive, earning him two holes in one at Indian Lake. However, it was the friendship he formed through golf that truly made it special for him. Mike valued those connections dearly and cherished every round played alongside his closest friends and family.
To cherish his memory, Mike leaves behind his loving wife of almost 50 years, Paula Curran; sons, Nick (April) Curran and David (Stephanie) Curran; and his grandchildren, Alyssa, Ash, Kaitlyn, and Kaelynn.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John “Jack” and Betty Curran; and siblings, John Curran, Jr., Ronald Curran and Jackie Shafer.
Visitation for Mike will be from 11a-1p on Friday, January 5th, 2024, at Flanner Buchanan – Oaklawn Memorial Gardens (Conner Suite) – 9700 Allisonville Rd., Indianapolis, IN 46250, with a funeral service immediately following at 1pm.

Newman Durrell
Died: July 21, 2022
Peoria, AZ — Newman Durell died July 21,2022 after a long illness surrounded by family. He is pre-deceased by his parents, Newman and Dotie Durell and his brother-in-law, Tom Atherton. He was born in Nashua, New Hampshire in 1947, but the family soon had a job-related move to Iowa where his sister was born. The family then moved to Indianapolis, IN. Newman lived in Indiana until he married.
Newman attended Arlington High School. He was a trombone player with both the school jazz and marching bands. A highlight of his musical experience was forming a jazz trio and playing with Doc Severinsen. Newman went to Indiana State University where he earned a BS degree in political science. He met his future wife, Milsa (AKA "Charlie") in 1966 and they married in 1970. Newman was hired by the Bureau of Indian Affairs to begin his 36 years as a guidance counselor. He worked at a Navaho elementary boarding school in Chinle, Arizona for three years. Son Christopher arrived in November 1970 and son Sean arrived in 1973 as the family was moving to Newman's next position in New London, New Hampshire with the Kearsarge Reg. School District. While at Kearsarge, he attended the University of Maine and earned a M.Ed. in Guidance in 1974. He was in the Elementary school only a few years and then moved into the junior high school level until his retirement in 2006.
Newman's greatest joys were his sons, Daughter-in-Laws, and four wonderful granddaughters. He loved being with his family and watching the girls' involvement in their athletic/arts and interests. Beyond family, his love was coaching girls' sports: soccer, basketball, softball and refereeing games too. He coached many players who continued playing beyond junior high and high school. He also ran four marathons!
Newman is survived by his wife of 52 years, Milsa, son Christopher and his wife, Brigit; son Sean and his wife, Marianne; granddaughters Ani Sophia, and Katy in Glendale, AZ and Melody and Abby in Bow, NH; sister Linda Atherton in Bedford, NH; three nephews: Tom, Dan, and Matthew and their families; step-sister Penny Abbott and her husband and family; also many cousins.
Newman will be interned at Elkins Cemetery as his beloved New Hampshire has called him home. Details regarding a celebration of Newman's life will be announced. Chadwick Funeral Service is assisting the family with arrangements.

April 9, 1947 - December 6, 2015
It is with heavy heart that I report to you the passing of a good friend and classmate, Steve Estabrook, last Sunday, December 6 here in Indianapolis.
In announcing Steve’s passing, so many, many folks have contacted me sharing memories and wanting to pay respects at his funeral service. However, on Friday, his two children, Libby (New York) and Breck (Houston), returned to Indy to have dinner with more than dozen close friends and no formal services will be held locally. The family plans on a private service in New York in a couple of months before laying Steve to rest at a family plot in Dayton, Ohio.
In high school, many will remember Steve as the quarterback on the football team and as a distinguished baseball player as well. He later graduated with a business degree from Ball State. In work life, Steve held many different positions including ones in real estate franchising, the oil industry, and life insurance investing. He was an avid golfer and played often on the links with former classmates. I ran into Steve myself this summer on the course, and he was so quick to offer up a drink and re-live his round of golf that day. He made a sincere plea that we get together for a round of golf at Pebblebrook - and now I’ll never have that opportunity again. Steve had also been active in years past with our reunion planning team and he was always a fixture with a hearty laugh and many stories at each reunion.

Despite Steve’s large presence in life, close friends always called him "Bunny.” I understand that name derived from the Easter Bunny and of course his name, E(a)sta-brook.
Steve is also the 100th known member of the 679 members of our Class of ’65 to pass on. Classmates are welcome to share stories and memories of Steve on our class Facebook site, Arlington H.S. Class of 1965 (63,64 & 66). Bunny, we’ll miss you.

June 16, 1947 - December 3, 2017
A celebration of life for John Charles Hillery, 70, of Madison will be at 11 a.m. May 5 at Hanover United Methodist Church in Hanover. He died Dec. 3, 2017, at Kentuckiana Medical Center in Clarksville. He was born June 16, 1947, in Madison, Wisconsin, the son of Charles M. and Delores Cooley Hillery. His early life was in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and West Virginia before his family settled in Indianapolis. His life was shaped by the nurturing of his parents and by two educators who helped him to realize and fulfill his future as a photojournalist.
While a student at Indianapolis Arlington High School, Mary Benedict encouraged him to look at life through a camera. He pursued his interest in photography at Indiana University, where he and many generations of photojournalists were taught and mentored by Will Counts. Behind his cameras, he photographed and witnessed major news and sports events of his time and quietly took equal pleasure in documenting the infinite beauty of nature and its creatures. He enjoyed sports and photographed some of the great moments of competition in the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, PGA and other major leagues; racing, whether among horses or autos or bikes or boats; and the array of Big 10 sports.
He began his professional career at The Herald in Decatur, Illinois. He went to Detroit in 1975 where he remained until 2002, working primarily as a freelance photographer whose images were distributed by wire services and photo agencies and published in newspapers and magazines. For many years, he was part of Ford Motor Co.'s team that set up auto shows and introduced its new models. When he reflected on his most memorable assignments as a photojournalist, he always noted two events early in his career: In April 1974, aboard an Indiana National Guard helicopter, he was among the first to photograph the destruction in southern Indiana from the Super Outbreak of tornadoes. In September 1974 he photographed Evel Knievel's attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon in Idaho.
He is survived by his wife, Margaret "Maggie" Craig Hillery; one sister, Pam Ator of Black Mountain, North Carolina; one brother, David Hillery of Annapolis, Maryland; three nieces, one nephew, two great-nieces, two great-nephews and other relatives. He was preceded in death by his parents and by many generations of his four-legged companions. Expressions of sympathy may take the form of donations to the Jefferson County Animal Shelter, Hanover United Methodist Church or the National Press Photographers Foundation.

Dr. Jan Holly
1948-2020
Dr. Jan Holly, who spent a lifetime sharing her passion for classical music and her limitless knowledge of the topic to thousands of college students, died on March 4, 2020, after a hard-fought battle with cancer. She was 72.
Professor Emerita Holly was awarded a Ph.D. in musicology from the University of Maryland and taught graduate courses there in music research and scholarly writing. She also held a Master of Music degree from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and a Bachelor of Arts in piano performance from Ball State University, in Indiana.
She was a full professor of music and continuously served for 30 years as music program manager at Frederick Community College (FCC) in Frederick, Maryland, where she was responsible for building the curriculum and staff from nearly nothing to a thriving program when she retired in 2014. She served as department chair for Communications, Humanities and Arts at FCC from 2006-2010.
A recognized leader in higher education in the arts, she was appointed in 2011-12 to a Middle States Commission on Higher Education Accreditation Team that evaluated the State University of New York, Potsdam, and the Crane School of Music.
A student of the Golandsky/Taubman piano technique in the Philadelphia studio of concert pianist and pedagogue Robert Durso, she was admitted in 2008 to the Golandsky Institute’s Piano Teacher Participation Program. A practice assistant at the Golandsky International Symposium, held each summer at Princeton University, she was invited to serve as examiner for a Ph.D. dissertation on the Taubman Technique. Dr. Holly maintained a private piano studio specializing in the training of beginning, intermediate, and early advanced adult students.
After retiring to Sanibel, she continued to teach online courses in music history/appreciation, world music, and American popular music. She was an organist for St. Michael and All Angels Church on Sanibel, where she also sang in the choir. She carved out a second career as a writer for local publications, and as a public relations consultant. She was a member of the board of directors of the Committee of the Islands and served on the BIG ARTS Classical Music and Classical Music Scholarship committees.
She was an avid bicyclist and tennis player, and she loved to take long walks on the Sanibel beaches.
Dr. Holly was preceded in death by her father, John Weaver Holly; and her mother, Mary Holmes Holly. She is survived by her sisters, Judith Workman (Dick) and Susan Holly (Mark Twombly); her niece, Jennifer Lessinger (Ozzie); her nephews, Michael Workman (Beth) and James Twombly Holly; her great-nephews, Sam and Gus Lessinger; and great-niece, Sadie Lessinger.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CROW and PAWS.

May 11, 1947 - February 4, 2017
Kaye Massena Windle Harper left her earthly environ on February 4, 2017 to be with her Maker. She was born on May 11, 1947 to Ralph and Mary Margaret Massena in rural Medora, Indiana where she spent her early childhood. After attending Washington High School in Indianapolis, she graduated from Arlington High School with the Class of 1965.

Besides being a homemaker, she made her career as a bookkeeper at Baker & Daniels and later at Greenwald-Sponsel. Never fearing, Kaye loved to fly foot-launched hang gliders and jump from airplanes, once jumping while pregnant. Kaye loved to gain knowledge about all things, buoyed by her constant reading. She loved to crochet, care for her flowers and gardening, and enjoyed the beauty of nature, just “everything from God.” A truly great Christian woman at heart, she was a member of Chapel Rock Christian Church.
She was married to Steve Windle and to Michael Harper, who pre-deceases her. She is survived by her son Kevin Harper and grandson McKain and brother Tony Massena and sister Nancy Massena.

Richard Carey Morse
October 10, 1946 - March 25, 2015
Richard Carey Morse, 68, of Indianapolis, Indiana passed away Wednesday, March 25, 2015 at Saint Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, IN. Richard was born October 10, 1946, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Charles G. and Vivian V. (Salzmann) Morse. He had one brother, Ray Morse.
Richard was a 1965 graduate of Arlington High School. He later graduated from The Wilton School of Cake Decorating in Chicago. From 1971 to 1974 Richard was employed as a registered respiratory therapist in the critical care unit at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. He also, during these years, ran a successful cake decorating business. In 1975 Richard went to work as a Houseman for The Westin Hotel in Kansas City. In a short time he trained and became their Banquet Manager. He headed this department for more than thirty years overseeing banquets, catering and major events for The Westin in multiple United States cities, including Kansas City, Chicago, New Orleans, San Francisco, Detroit and Indianapolis. Richard retired from The Westin in 2009.
On September 27, 1995, and after a brief courtship, Richard and his partner Paul Hancock began their relationship. Ten years later on September 27, 2005, Richard and Paul were united in a Holy Union Ceremony at Life Journey Church where they have been members since 2004. On March 14, 2015, almost twenty years from the time they met, Richard and Paul were legally wed as husbands in their same church where they joyously celebrated with family and close friends. With great sadness, Richard was admitted to St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis one day following their marriage where he remained until his death ten days later.
Richard loved entertaining and cooking. He excelled at planning social events, parties and celebrations and did so on many occasions. We will all be sharing stories for years to come from those times. Laughter and fun was always in the mix thanks to Richard.
Richard loved to travel and was fortunate to have explored most of the United States, many European Countries and Canada. His journeys from years gone by, his trips with Paul and vacations with friends were favorite moments he mentioned often. Many friends, even strangers, past and present were witness to Richards unending kindness and generosity. Even when it was physically challenging for him he spent many days assisting and providing for others, visiting the sick and lonely, even volunteering his time for children at Indianapolis Public School #54. Richard was always thinking and doing for others.
Richard is survived by his husband, Paul J. Hancock of Indianapolis, Indiana; his brother Ray Morse and wife Margie of Boulder,CO; his nephew Brendan Morse, his wife Lori and great-nephew Collin of Denver,CO. ; his niece Allison Malicoat, her husband James and great nieces Sydney and Molly of Lenexa, Kansas; step-daughter Andrea Meneses, her husband Dave and grandchildren Audrina and Landon of New Bedford, Massachusetts; parents-in-law Wayne and June Hancock of Ft. Smith, Arkansas; and sister-in-law Margaret Hancock of Winterset, Iowa; sister-in-law KC Shay, her husband Rodney and their daughters Stephanie and Laura of Greenwood, Arkansas, Mirah Hancock of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and Eric Hancock of Little Rock, Arkansas; and pet Garvey.
Richard lived his life to the fullest and will be remembered by all for his enormous loving heart, his incredibly boisterous laugher, his kind and generous spirit and his passion for family and friends. Richard C. Morse, “a class act” will be missed by all who knew him.

Barbara Neff Richter
February 21, 1947 - August 28, 2021
Bellingham, Washington - After a valiant, year-long battle with a rare cancer, Barbara Colleen (Neff) Richter, age 74, of Bellevue, WA, passed away peacefully on August 28, 2021, with her daughter at her bedside in Bellingham, Washington.
Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Richard and Myrtle (Armstrong) Neff, Barbara's birth to Irish war bride Myrtle and U.S. Air Force officer Richard made the Indianapolis Star with the caption: "Sure a little bit of Heaven is wee Barbara Colleen Neff." She is survived by her daughter, Deborah (Carter) Turk, sister Susan (Kurt) Glaser, brother Bruce (Angela) Neff; numerous nieces and nephews, and her two grandchildren, Taylor and Talus Turk. She was preceded in death by her parents.
Barbara's happy childhood was spent in Indianapolis, graduating Arlington High School in 1965. Plans to attend university were put on hold due to a brief marriage and the arrival of Barbara's only child on her own 20th birthday. As a single mother, Barbara attended Indiana University graduating in 1976 from dental hygiene school. There she met her 2nd husband, Neville Richter. The two resettled in Washington, lured by its majestic mountain ranges, and launched their dental careers. Barbara's profession as a hygienist spanned from 1976-2020. Even in the face of a global pandemic, she planned to return to hygiene outfitted with custom PPE gear in May 2020. Her devotion and care for others was unwavering.
Barbara's lifestyle was the epitome of active. Over the years, she traveled the world extensively via road bike, kayak, and inline-skates; paddled deep into the remote Gulf Islands of Canada, and traversed miles of the Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges. With a simple goal to improve bone density, Barbara began weight lifting in her early 40's, winning numerous "ugly trophies" (her name for them) as a competitive bodybuilder. With 110% dedication, Barbara put her mind and heart into any endeavor. In addition, she was a competitive swimmer in high school, enjoyed snow, cross country and water skiing; yoga, decorating, sewing, quilting, bird-watching and reading. And for those lucky enough to be invited to Barbara's table, no dish was too difficult or off limits in her kitchen. She would lovingly plan, prepare, and present a culinary delight for the senses, resulting in not only a sumptuous meal, but a visual work of art.
But Barbara's most preferred/favorite activity of all was spending time with her family and friends, whom she deeply loved and cherished… especially as Noni to her grandchildren and grand-dog, Woody.
"We think about you always, we talk about you still. You have never been forgotten, and you never will. We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain, to walk and guide us through our lives, until we meet again."
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her memory to: Seattle Children's Hospital, Seattle Ronald MacDonald House, Make-A-Wish or Whatcom Hospice.

Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Richard and Myrtle (Armstrong) Neff, Barbara's birth to Irish war bride Myrtle and U.S. Air Force officer Richard made the Indianapolis Star with the caption: "Sure a little bit of Heaven is wee Barbara Colleen Neff." She is survived by her daughter, Deborah (Carter) Turk, sister Susan (Kurt) Glaser, brother Bruce (Angela) Neff; numerous nieces and nephews, and her two grandchildren, Taylor and Talus Turk. She was preceded in death by her parents.
Barbara's happy childhood was spent in Indianapolis, graduating Arlington High School in 1965. Plans to attend university were put on hold due to a brief marriage and the arrival of Barbara's only child on her own 20th birthday. As a single mother, Barbara attended Indiana University graduating in 1976 from dental hygiene school. There she met her 2nd husband, Neville Richter. The two resettled in Washington, lured by its majestic mountain ranges, and launched their dental careers. Barbara's profession as a hygienist spanned from 1976-2020. Even in the face of a global pandemic, she planned to return to hygiene outfitted with custom PPE gear in May 2020. Her devotion and care for others was unwavering.
Barbara's lifestyle was the epitome of active. Over the years, she traveled the world extensively via road bike, kayak, and inline-skates; paddled deep into the remote Gulf Islands of Canada, and traversed miles of the Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges. With a simple goal to improve bone density, Barbara began weight lifting in her early 40's, winning numerous "ugly trophies" (her name for them) as a competitive bodybuilder. With 110% dedication, Barbara put her mind and heart into any endeavor. In addition, she was a competitive swimmer in high school, enjoyed snow, cross country and water skiing; yoga, decorating, sewing, quilting, bird-watching and reading. And for those lucky enough to be invited to Barbara's table, no dish was too difficult or off limits in her kitchen. She would lovingly plan, prepare, and present a culinary delight for the senses, resulting in not only a sumptuous meal, but a visual work of art.
But Barbara's most preferred/favorite activity of all was spending time with her family and friends, whom she deeply loved and cherished… especially as Noni to her grandchildren and grand-dog, Woody.
"We think about you always, we talk about you still. You have never been forgotten, and you never will. We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain, to walk and guide us through our lives, until we meet again."
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her memory to: Seattle Children's Hospital, Seattle Ronald MacDonald House, Make-A-Wish or Whatcom Hospice.

Rita (Sizemore) Hassell
Died November 26, 2020
It is with great sorrow that I write this obituary for one of our classmates, Rita Sizemore Hassell, who passed away this morning, November 26, 2020, Thanksgiving Day, at a hospital in Kansas City near her former home in Belton, MO. Rita had shared with me there will not be an obituary notice in the newspaper, so she had always asked that when the time came, that I write one for her to be posted on our Arlington website.
I could simply say that Rita left behind three wonderful children, Robyn, Holly and Scott and five grandchildren and that she attended Baptist Theological Seminary. Most obituaries would stop there. But those few words don’t begin to describe Rita and her incredible personal battle for life and sustenance. That’s the story her obituary deserves to tell of her.
You should know that I never met Rita in high school nor in our 55 years since we left Arlington. Yet I feel I know her better than I do my own family – so I willingly compose the obituary she asked me to write.
Many of you know that I enjoy a role in my life as a Stephen Minister. Stephen Ministry is a national non-denominational organization that trains lay leaders to be care-givers to those who are battling life’s issues. When Rita first came to me hoping to find a way to attend our class reunion in 2017, I learned of her story and felt compelled to adopt her as a Stephen Ministry client.
Unlike so many of us reading this obituary, Rita had not enjoyed a lifetime of pleasantries and good health. No, her life was one of pain and suffering, troubles and torment, agony and anguish, despair and distress. When she first contacted me, she was in need of help to recover her automobile that had been impounded for back property taxes. Without her auto, and all alone in life, she had no means of transportation to get to her many doctor visits, fill her prescriptions, get her groceries, etc. I launched a Go Fund Me campaign for Rita and our classmates contributed over $3500 to get her going once again. Many of you were generous donors – I know Rita would thank you once again, and I certainly do as well.
That blessing was short-lived. Over the next several months and with many emergency hospital visits, the diabetes that plagued her health grew progressively worse and was ravaging her body. Very overweight, walking even with assistance soon became a chore and by early 2019, she simply could no longer walk at all. Glaucoma was consuming her eyesight and all of the arrangements I was making with local doctors were failing because we couldn’t get a soul to stay with her following surgery. She lived alone in a mobile home and had no local friends to call upon for help. With her diabetes worsening, she soon lost control of her bodily functions and with that came all sorts of serious hygiene problems. Complicating her conditions, her three children were estranged and wanted no part of caring for her, they had issues and families of their own to tend to. I know this because I worked countless hours to bring the family back together. Her church abandoned her, they had no one who wanted to visit Rita’s trailer because of the hygiene issues. I know because I spent time pleading with them for support. Rita’s health worsened, she often didn’t have money nor access to purchase her insulin and other meds. I know because I battled Kansas officials who denied the many Medicaid applications I prepared for her. She suffered unsurprisingly from depression. I know because I fought the system to get her psychiatric care. For me, this went beyond the bounds of Stephen Ministry because I became her life support system from 500 miles away.
I have so many stories of the last three years of Rita’s life that I could write a book. I encountered dozens and dozens of wonderful human beings who wanted to help and often provided such great care for her – social workers, emergency technicians and doctors and nurses at probably 10 different hospitals. But always – always – the system failed her.
I spoke with Rita nearly every day for three years, often long conversations as we tried to coordinate life for her. While that was indeed often a burden that resulted in more frustrations than victories, I know that in those many phone calls, I captured the essence of a woman that I can write an obituary for.
And here's the most important part of her obituary, the part Rita would want most to read: Rita was an incredible human being. She never had the luxuries so many of us enjoy nor the health that most of us retain. And though mental depression racked her mind, she was always a gentle, humble soul who NEVER gave up on life or her God. She entrusted her life to her Creator and never complained of injustices nor her misfortunes. She always had a smiling demeanor over the phone and cherished the support I was able to give. We often prayed together and read daily devotionals that provided her with such good counsel. She was very independent, refusing nursing home assistance until the end, mistakenly confident that she could care for herself. She had a particular talent for engaging others in the hospitals -- patients, nurses, janitors, -- about their faith. She also loved her Arlington classmates and was adamant that she was going to become healthy enough to attend our next reunion. She didn’t have wealth, she didn’t didn’t have health, but she certainly had love for all mankind -- and her Arlington classmates.
In June, over Rita’s objections, I finally beat the system. I worked with one of the hospitals to get her legally assigned to guardianship to place her in a nursing home. My elation for her good fortune was short-lived. Now, just five months later, Rita becomes another victim among the myriads of nursing home COVID deaths. Once again, the system failed her. Her hospital was out of ICU beds to get her the necessary intubation she needed. She passed somewhat peacefully this morning with oxygen support.
…...but the good news, and I saved this for last. Those three estranged children? Over the course of the last year, in my communicating Rita’s issues and the developments with each of them, one-by-one they had all returned to “Mom.” Once past sins were buried, each of them were there to help to carry the load in these final months.
I got the phone call this morning at 5AM from the hospital. One daughter was there and the other two were on Facetime. One daughter, a concert violinist, played her violin for Rita and nurses were able to hold a phone for her as the children prayed with her. And just before they removed life support to let her go peacefully, Rita uttered her very last words to them, “I love you.”
Seeing and talking to those children with their newfound and boundless love – and now an unconditional love -- for their dying Mom – that is my obituary for Rita. Rita, your persistence was truly an inspiration for me and I truly admire you for that. At last, the diabetes and the depression and the many other maladies that plagued you in this life are no more, you’re in a much better place with your Maker. God bless you.

Susan (Travis) Lapenta LeGallee
February 4, 1947 - April 10, 2018
Our dear Susie departed this world on April 10 to join her loved ones and her dear Savior in heaven. Susie was born on February 4, 1947 in Indianapolis, the daughter of Paul and June Travis. She passed away following a brief bout with cancer at her residence in Lake Forest, California. She was a 1965 Indianapolis Arlington High school graduate and assisted their reunion team for over 30 years, in charge of locating missing alums of the class. In that process, so many of the 1963 through 67 alumni came to love Susan for her tireless work, thoughtful kindness and her sparkle and untiring energy. She established a Facebook group for all of those alums and encouraged their posts about friendships and life. A memory page on that very Facebook account today offers so many beautiful eulogies for Susie’s caring ways. During her career, Susie worked for many years in real estate escrow processing. She loved the simple and beautiful things in life like a special glass of wine with friends, watching the sunset over Balboa Island, and sharing joys and laughter from her gracious sense of humor. But most of all she loved her family. Her dear husband, Robert Legallee, preceded her in death. Susan leaves a close-knit family behind that includes her daughter Elizabeth (Beth) Lapenta, and son, John Lapenta; two grandchildren, Grace Lapenta and Vincent Lapenta; and sisters Nancy Sehnert and Sally Alger.
