Ator, Harvey Henry Ator

Source: The Fulkerson Funeral Home, Plentywood, Montana; December, 2013

(August 13, 1928 - December 12, 2013)

A funeral service will be held for Harvey Ator at 10:00 A.M. on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 at Plentywood Lutheran Church in Plentywood with Pastor Mark Taylor officiating. Burial will take place in Pentywood Cemetery and a luncheon will be served at the church, following interment.

Harvey Henry Ator was born in Plentywood, Montana on August 13, 1928. He was the first of three sons born to Henry and Rachel (Alexander) Ator. He attended school in Antelope and Plentywood.

Harvey lived his entire life on the farm his father homesteaded. On October 23, 1949 Harvey married the love of his life, Mary Botkin, and she joined him on the farm. The two of them raised children, cattle, chickens, pigs and small grains. In the late 60's and early 70's, Harvey, Roger Anderson, George Munson and the kids’ custom combined and hayed. In 1972, Harvey and Mary began processing beef and pork in their basement. They eventually converted the farm shop into a meat processing plant - “Ator’s Processing.” Chris became the meat cutter and Harvey and Tom did the butchering. Everyone pitched in on “chicken picking day.” Over the next 30 years, “the shop” became the neighborhood gathering place for customers, neighbors and friends at coffee time. Everyone knew the coffee was always fresh and Mary’s cookies were always delicious! Prior to operating his own business, Harvey worked for Plentywood Electric and John Hallesy. Harvey was dedicated to ensuring his children got to school and their activities. In the early years, there was no bus route so he or Mary drove the kids to and from school every day. Later if the bus didn’t run due to weather, Harvey made sure the kids got to school even if it meant going off road. When the boys started to play basketball, they remember Harvey and Gus Abenroth driving them to their away games in the years before the school sent a bus. Harvey was at his best when he was with Mary. Together they served on the Democratic Committee for many years. Mary, a Registered Nurse at Sheridan Memorial Nursing Home for 40 years, always worked Christmas Eve. She would gather the residents and read them the Christmas story. Then Santa (aka Harvey) and their children would hand out gifts to the residents. When Mary became ill with pulmonary fibrosis, Harvey became her devoted care-giver and made sure she was able to remain on the farm until she died in November of 2001.

Harvey was a retired member of the Montana National Guard and was well known throughout the state for his cooking. He was the head cook for the local guard unit as well as the annual two week camp. He was very proud of his families’ strong military tradition – three generations of Ator’s have served iin the National Guard, Army, Navy and Air Force. Harvey retired in 1988 after 35 years of service. Harvey was a people person. He loved to visit. Any activity that gave him an opportunity to spend time with his family and friends was an opportunity worth taking. Long after he no longer actively worked in the processing plant, he was still there at coffee time. He truly enjoyed the time he spent at the Vet’s Club with his “guard buddies.” Whether it was smear at the Blue Moon with old friends or poker with his grandchildren, Harvey was always ready for a game of cards. Harvey, 85, died on December 12th in the Sheridan Memorial Nursing Home surrounded by family and friends. He is survived by his six children and their families: Mike (Rose) of Palm Coast, Florida; Karen (Ed) Milewski of Lindale, Texas; Dale of Canon City, Colorado; Chris (Linda) of Plentywood; Tom of Plentywood; and, Valita (Kurt) Nelson of Scobey. He is also survived by 16 grandchildren; 6 great-grandchildren; his brother Lowell of Plentywood; and a sister-in-law, Marilyn Botkin of Twin Falls, Idaho. He was preceded in death by Mary; his brother and sister-in-law Vernon and Ramona Ator; a sister-in-law Geraldine Ator; and a daughter-in-law, Margaret Ator.

Fulkerson Funeral Home of Plentywood is in charge of arrangements.

Claus, Bernard L. Claus “Sandy”

T/Sgt. Bernard L. “Sandy” Claus, 93, a native of Lewisville, Ohio, passed peacefully surrounded by family on May 1, 2013, in Missoula, MT, after suffering a stroke just days earlier. He was born on March 5, 1920, to Leroy Alfred Claus and Annie Magdaline Kilburn in Lewisville.

He was raised in Monroe County and attended schools in Lewisville. Following graduation from Lewisville High School in 1938, he worked on a local farm for $1 a day. In April of 1940, he enrolled in the Civilian Conservation Corps and spent the next five months at Camp 2528 in Three Creek, ID, near Twin Falls. In October of 1940, Sandy enrolled in the U.S. Army Air Corps and for the next year, he trained at Maxwell Field, AL, Jefferson Barracks, MO, and Chanute Field, IL. In the autumn of 1941, he was assigned to the 59th Bombardment Squadron in the Panama Canal Zone at Albrook, David and Howard Fields, crewing and maintaining A-20s. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor Sandy’s squadron spent the next several weeks patrolling the coastline of Central America. From 1942 to 1944, he served as a Technical Sergeant for B-25s on antisubmarine patrols in the Caribbean, spending time on the islands of Aruba, Curacao, and St. Lucia. Following his service in the Caribbean, he returned to the states and was honorably discharged from the Air Corps in September of 1945. Later in his life, it would take little encouragement for Sandy to regale his listeners with fascinating and memorable stories of his time in the Caribbean.

On September 29, 1945, Sandy married Lorna Mae Windhorst at St. Peter’s Lutheran church in Deshler, NE, where they made their home and worked for several years. In 1950-51, Sandy was recalled to the Air Force and served as a training instructor at the Great Falls Air Force Base in Montana. In 1953, he went to work for Boeing in Wichita, KS. The following year the family moved to Seattle, WA, where Sandy continued to work for Boeing until he retired in 1981.

Sandy and Lorna Mae raised their three children Rodney, Pamela and Debra in the Seattle area and during the next two decades built two homes and an airplane (Skybolt).

While at Boeing Sandy worked on a number of projects, including Boeing aircraft models 720, 747, and 737; special projects included the Boeing VC-137C/SAM 26000, which served as Air Force One for eight U.S. Presidents; the Boeing Lunar Lander; and the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS). He was a lead inspector and well respected by his colleagues on the flight line. He was a member of the Experimental Aircraft Association.

When he wasn’t working, Sandy was putting his “green thumb” to work around his home, which included meticulous attention to his rose garden. He was a sports fan and followed professional sports teams from Seattle and the University of Washington Huskies. He particularly enjoyed watching college softball, a game he played when he was younger.

Following his retirement Sandy traveled the United States and Canada. Thousands of miles, three vehicles, and 100s of KOA campgrounds later he had visited national parks from the Great Smoky Mountains to Crater Lake. Sandy loved warm weather and often spent the summer months hiking in the canyon lands of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. He particularly enjoyed visiting cultural sites across the southwestern U.S., including Canyon de Chelly, Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde, and Tuzigoot, to name a few. When he wasn’t hiking desert trails, he reveled in attending airshows from Oshkosh, WI to Red Deer, Alberta, and made several trips to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in New Mexico. He never missed an opportunity to visit an air museum. Years after he stopped traveling he loved to share stories of his travels and could by heart tell you highway numbers and when he visited them.

He was strong in his Lutheran faith his entire life and had fond memories of working with his church in Kent, WA, in the 1980s and 90s, where he served as a “handyman.” He did projects for the church school where he was affectionately known as “Mr. C.”

Sandy was buried next to his wife Lorna, with full military honors at Washington Memorial Park, Sea-Tac, WA, on Friday, May 10. His brother Floyd Claus, sister Elvira Stimpert, children, and many family members survive Sandy.

Sandy was a patriot, a man of faith, and a stickler for detail.

DelRe, Thelma DelRe, nee Meyers

Source: The Arizona Republic; August 26, 2013

Del Re, Thelma, 90, passed away on August 25, 2013. Thelma was born in Benwood, West Virginia on July 5, 1923 to Frank and Anna Meyers. She attended Moundsville High School and graduated in 1941. She was married to Alfred Del Re for 60 years. After high school, Thelma took great pride in walking to work each day with her father to the Fostoria Glass Company in Moundsville. She married Alfred in 1946 and began their family. With three kids in tow, they moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1949 and ran a small restaurant on 32nd Street and Van Buren called The Little Dutch Girl Café. The Café was eventually sold and in 1954 they opened Del Re Surplus in South Phoenix. Three more children were born and Thelma and Alfred raised their family while also supporting the daily business operations. They retired in 1982 when they sold the business to their sons, Al and Joe. Thelma continued to enjoy the business, supporting her sons and associating with the many friends she had made over the years. Thelma was an excellent seamstress and cook. She took great passion in making huge Italian dinners every Sunday, enjoying her children, sons and daughters-in-law and grandchildren at the dining room table together. As she was always a very selfless woman, she never sat down to eat until everyone else was done and had more than they could possibly eat. Her most important achievement was her family and having good times together. Some of Thelma's fondest memories are of her many travels, enjoying the company of her best friend, Nancy Hammer. She never met a casino she didn't like, and she has been known to enjoy fishing trips with her sons and husband. During the past couple of months, Thelma's family has been together daily, caring for her, comforting her and granting her every wish. She would say frequently, "This has been the best time of my life". Her biggest concern was to make sure her family was all together and that we knew she was happy.

Thelma is survived by her six children; Al, Jr., Monica, Jim (Jane), Joanna (Mike), Joe (Sandy) and Gina (Manny). She is also survived by her eight grandchildren James, Lisa, Nicole, Natalia, Garrett, Justin, Damien and Isabella, and three great- grandchildren Quintin, Wyatt and Morgan. She is preceded in death by her husband Alfred Del Re, her parents, and her siblings Florence Lusk, Betty Chapman and Jim Meyers.

Funeral service will be held on Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Mary's Basilica, 231 N. 3rd Street, Phoenix, Arizona, with a visitation at 9:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice of the Valley Fund Development, 1510 E.

Dornbusch, Margaret Helen Dornbusch nee Tober

Source: Bauer-Turner Funeral Home , Woodsfield, Ohio May 6, 2013

Margaret Helen Tober Dornbusch, 86, died peacefully on May 5, 2013 in Richmond, Virginia, surrounded by family. She died from complications of lung cancer after a short illness. Born on December 15, 1926, she was known as Margie to her family. She was raised in Cleveland, Ohio, the youngest of Ernst and Emma (Selnau) Tober’s six children.

Her parents both emigrated as teenagers from Germany and lived in a close-knit immigrant community. Her father owned a bakery on Payne Avenue in Cleveland and the family lived above the shop.

She graduated from Ohio University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in teaching and the nickname Toby. While at college, she met her husband, Paul Edgar Dornbusch of Antioch, Ohio. They were married on July 15, 1950.

Paul’s career at General Electric brought them briefly to Ft. Wayne, Indiana before they were transferred to Schenectady, New York. There, Toby taught elementary school until the birth of their first child, Kathy. Afterwards, she devoted herself to full-time motherhood. Toby and Paul relocated to Roanoke, Virginia in 1955, where they lived for the next 36 years and where their children Sue, Jim, Jane, Dana and Andrew were born and raised. After Andrew started school, Toby returned to teaching, serving many years as a substitute teacher in the Roanoke City and County elementary schools.

After Paul retired from GE, Toby and Paul built a home on the Dornbusch family farm outside Antioch, Ohio, where they lived for 20 years. In 2010, they moved to Elmcroft of Chesterfield, an assisted living facility in Richmond, Virginia near their daughter Jane. Whether known as Margaret, Margie or Toby, everyone enjoyed her friendly, out-going nature and her playful and light-hearted sense of humor.

She was an avid reader (especially mystery stories) and enjoyed working crossword puzzles with Paul. She shared her love of reading with her children and grandchildren, and as a tutor in her community. She loved the sunshine, taking walks, and swimming, and she was always the last one back to the house after a day on the beach.

Toby was a master pie baker. She loved serving as “chief cook and bottle washer” when her family, and especially her grandchildren, gathered. She enjoyed travelling with Paul while he worked in Alabama and abroad in South Africa and the Netherlands. She was always ready for an adventure, sailing in the Caribbean and travelling to Europe with family and friends.

Toby was rooted in her community and in her faith. She maintained deep and lasting friendships. She and Paul were active members of Westhampton Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Roanoke. During their retirement years, Paul and Toby found a loving church family at St. Paul’s Church–Trail Run in Ohio. Toby became more forgetful in recent years, but she never lost her upbeat nature and her faith in God.

Toby was preceded in death by Paul, her beloved husband of 60 years, her daughter Kathy, who died of cancer at the age of 6, her sister Loretta and her brother Alfred.

She is survived by her children and their spouses: Susan and Ralph Snell; Jim Dornbusch and Susanne Struebing; Jane and John Davis; Dana Dornbusch and Walter Piescik; and Andrew and Susan Dornbusch and her grandchildren Katy, Anna and Emily Snell; Tyler, Tina and Tristan Dornbusch; Jonathan Davis; and Manna and Jordan Wilcox. She also is survived by her brother Norman and by her sisters, Naomi (Omie) Mastney and Thelma (Temmy) Eccleston and a large, extended family. She will be deeply missed.

Friends will be received from 7 to 9 pm on Friday, May 10, 2013 at the Bauer-Turner Funeral Home, 100 South Paul Street, Woodsfield, Ohio. Funeral services will be at 1 pm on Saturday, May 11, 2013 at St. Paul’s Church -Trail Run, 43936 Joe Frobish Road, Sardis, Ohio.
