Date of Death:		05-03-2013

Obituary content:
Dorothy Frances Manring, 86, of Indianapolis, died Friday May 3.

An entrepreneur of international breadth, she devoted much of her life to improving the scope and power of women's roles in society. She was a Girl Scout volunteer in several states and was the inaugural recipient of the Gwladys Brewster Outstanding Altrusan Award from Altrusa International in 1992.

Dorothy was born in Tientsin, China, on Nov. 23, 1926, the daughter of Raisa Hotimsky and Staff Sgt. Frank Filipiak. She was formally adopted by Jess T. and Naomi Peyton in 1931.

With the threat of war between the United States and Japan increasing, her parents sent Dorothy to live with relatives in the U.S. She left China in December, 1940.When war did come, her parents would be interned by the Japanese.

She ended up in the rural Eastern Washington town of Garfield, where she graduated from high school in 1942. When she arrived, stories of the exotic girl from China were so intriguing one group of boys actually snuck up to her house one night to peer in the window and see what she looked like.
In December 1946, she married Ben Manring, once among those boys peeking in on her, now an ensign in the U.S. Navy.

The couple traveled the world together over his 27 years in the Navy, living in South Carolina, Rhode Island, California, Hawaii, Virginia and Belgium. In 1951, they had their first child, Rebecca Jane. Nicholas Jordan followed in 1953. A second son, Keith Guy, was born in 1963.

Although she had previously attended Creighton University, Whitman College and the University of Hawaii, it wasn't until 1970 that she completed her degree at Old Dominion University. Soon after, Ben retired from the Navy and they moved to Seattle, Wash.

The couple launched an export company from their basement in Bellevue, Wash., eventually focusing on agricultural development equipment. ManCor became a significant business in countries from Thailand to Jamaica and the Gambia and emerged as the leading U.S. company in Burma.

At the same time, Dorothy worked tirelessly as a volunteer with Girl Scouts. She also became a member of Altrusa, where she took on increasingly important leadership roles. She was a long-time member of Overlake Park Presbyterian Church in Bellevue and Rose Hill Presbyterian Church in Kirkland, Wash.

In the 1980s, she rediscovered her Hotimsky siblings, now living in Australia.

In the early 1990s, the Manrings shut down their business and retired. Dorothy survived breast cancer and open-heart surgery. Ben preceded her in death in 1996.

She moved to Indianapolis unexpectedly in 2010 to be closer to family.

She is survived by her children and their spouses, Tim Bagwell (Bloomington), Bea Lueben Manring (Chennai, India) and Ann Manring (Indianapolis). She also is survived by seven grandchildren: Nathan Gwinn of Yakima, Wash.; Frances Peterson, currently a Peace Corps volunteer in Paraguay; Austin Manring of Cheney, Wash.; Dimitri Manring of Garfield, Wash.; and Camelia, Lily and Rose Manring of Indianapolis. She also has three great-grandchildren: Beritt Gwinn of Yakima, and William and Evelyn Bagwell of Indianapolis.

Contributions in her memory can be made to Girl Scouts of Western Washington council or the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society.

Services will be held at 3 p.m. on Thursday, May 9 at First Congregational Church, 7171 N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis. Burial will follow at sea.

Mossell Miller, 100

Wed, 20 Mar 2013

Date of Birth:		10-18-1912
Date of Death:		02-28-2013

Obituary content:
Mosell "Buddy" Miller was born to John and Mary Miller on October 18, 1912, in Meridian, Mississippi. His mother passed away of typhoid fever, early in his childhood and he grew up with 6 siblings,5 which have proceeded him in death: 1 brother named Bud and 5 sisters, Goldie McElroy, Pearlie Hayes, Elnora Rowden, Earlie Naylor, 1 living sister, Mary Freeman. The true gentleman, with
the hearty belly laugh, still very sound in mind, lived to be 100 years old. He passed away in Fishers, Indiana on February 28,2013.

He proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. Soon after his service ended, his sister, Goldie, introduced him to Lillie Mae Pleasant, and this union lasted until her death by
Alzheimer's disease, in the late 1980's. They were inseparable, and he forever remained by her side until the day she died. Lillie and Buddy had no children together, but through Vernon Sanders,
Lillie's son, there were four grandchildren: Gerry (Phyllis) Sanders, Fishers, IN; Karen (William) Farrington, Indianapolis, IN; Christopher Evans, Los Angeles, CA; Dawn Sanders, Los Angeles, CA;
and Michelle Sanders, Houston, TX. No grandchild could ask for a better grandfatherâ��"you were always there for us!"

He was a praying man, he loved church. His niece, "Sug" who is now 96 years old, fondly remembers his beautiful prayers from the other room. He was a member and eventually became a deacon of
Mt. Paran Baptist church located in the outskirts of Indianapolis. Fond memories will always remain of the way he would hum his songs while getting dressed in 'his room' for church; and every Sunday
how he always shined his shoes! He worked for the Army Finance Center at Fort Benjamin Harrison until retiring in March of 1981.

Buddy loved to garden. Every summer, we'd see the latest addi-tions to the garden; and the infamous peach tree always gave him and Grandma Lillie grief! But the peach cobblersâ��always made it worth it. Hunting and fishing were his absolute loves. Oh and when he would get madâ�¦ Buddy didn't like to argue so when it got too much, you'd see him get to a high pitch, stutter then just shut down and start with the humming!

God granted him a long healthy life on this earth. He passed away on February 28, 2013 of a virus that his body was just not strong enough to fight off. Buddy is survived by 1 sister, Mary Freeman, St. Louis, MO; 1 Niece, Berlina "Sug" French, St. Lou-is, MO;4 grandchildren (mentioned above); 1 Great Niece, Debo-rah Hammond, E. St. Louis, Illinois; 2 Great Nephews, Anthony Howard & Renaldo Williams, E. St. Louis, Illinois; Alex and William Farrington; Brandy, Christopher, Charity and Kennedy Sanders, 2 great-great grandchildren, Rodney Beeler III and Rylan Farrington & a host of other great nieces & nephews.

Date of Death:		03-07-2013

Obituary content:
It is with heavy hearts that Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority mourns the loss of sister and volunteer, Harriett Block Macht. We were notified of Harriett's passing early morning on March 7, 2013.

Harriet was born on April 27, 1927 and became a founding sister of Delta Phi Epsilon at the Delta Delta Chapter at Indiana University in 1948, where she studied music and opera. After graduation, she settled down in the Miami, Fl. area and became a member of the Greater Miami Alumnae Association.

She then served as the first Delta Phi Epsilon National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) Chairman during the NPC's 100th biennium, from 1991-1993. Prior to that prestigious honor, she began serving the NPC in 1988 as secretary and then treasurer.

When asked about her involvement with the NPC, in a 1993 TRIAD article, Harriett replied:
"I love it. I have three sons and no daughters. I believe that women need close involvement with other women. Sororities should maintain their single-sex status. It is very important. This is a wonderful time for women. The opportunities are there, and with the right motivation and education, a woman today can achieve anything."

Harriett believed in the importance of positive Panhellenic relations by strengthening the friendships within the Panhellenic community to benefit sorority advancement. She often said volunteering as the NPC Chairman was the most rewarding experience she ever had as a sister of DPhiE.

In honor of Harriett's strong belief in the NPC, Delta Phi Epsilon bestows the Harriet Block Macht Outstanding Alumnae Panhellenic of the Biennium Award to a top performing alumnae Panhellenic. This honor is given during the NPC Biennial Meeting.

She also was very passionate about her alma mater, Indiana University. Harriett established a scholarship for the music and opera program at IU in honor of her late parents.

Obituary content:
Jim Ackerman, 88, Carmel, Indiana passed away Saturday, March 2, 2013 with his loving wife of 65 years, Lois, and their children at his side. He was born March 12, 1924 in Lima, Ohio to Joseph and Miriam Ackerman. A longtime resident of the Indianapolis area, Jim was a pioneer in the cable television industry, a devoted family man, a U.S. Army veteran, and a philanthropist.

From 1971 to 1993, Jim was the CEO of Cardinal Communications, a cable television company headquartered in Indianapolis which ran cable operations throughout the state of Indiana. This company was sold in 1993 at which time it was the 70th largest cable operation in the U.S. In addition to successfully operating a cable television company, Jim had a long career financing cable companies with his first loan granted in 1958 while he was a Senior Vice President of Economy Finance and Executive Vice President of Indianapolis Morris Plan, an Indiana Industrial Bank. Jim spent 24 years with these companies before creating his own specialized cable investment firm in 1971. This firm was merged in 1973 and became Becker Communication Associates, a cable TV venture capital company.

In 1984, he became Vice Chairman of Communication Equity Associates, a media brokerage firm specializing in communication companies. Jim served in this role until 1988. He also served as an advisor to Merrill Lynch from 1984 to 1987, assisting them in taking five cable-related companies public.

He was involved in many business organizations throughout his career including the roles of President of the Indiana-Illinois Cable TV Association, Director of the National Cable TV Association, Vice President and Director of the National Commercial Finance Association, Director of TCA Cable Corporation, and President and Director of the National Charge Account Bankers Association.

Upon the sale of Cardinal Communications in 1993, Jim created The Ackerman Foundation to help improve the welfare of our local and national community. For his long-term philanthropic efforts, Jim was awarded the Sagamore of the Wabash in 1995 by then Governor Evan Bayh.

An avid golfer, he always referred to golf as his vocation and cable TV as his hobby. In 1994, he and his son-in-law developed one of the area's better golf courses, Prairie View Golf Club.

Fond of quoting that he could never give back to Purdue University what he received from his education, Jim created in 1994 the James F. Ackerman Center for Democratic Citizenship to improve the teachings of civics, ethics, and economics in schools across the nation. He also made significant gifts to the University to endow a chair in the department of Agriculture as well as to renovate the school's south golf course, now known as Ackerman Hills. In recognition of his long-standing support to the University and other causes, as well as his other leadership accomplishments, Jim was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Education degree in 2004.

Jim is survived by his wife, Lois; daughters, Barbara (Brian) Nicholoff and Leslie; son, John (Kathy); and four grandchildren, Philip James Nicholoff, Justin NIcholoff, Allison Ackerman, and Jeffrey Ackerman.

A funeral service will be held Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation at 11 AM with visitation from 10 AM. Burial will follow in the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation North Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (https://secure.mdausa.org/donate/) or to the James F.

If I should go before I age,
Soon even as the coming 'morrow;
I hope no one would have a rage,
Or spend much time in sorrow.

For I have had a good full life,
Much more than many other;
I've been a sister and a wife,
And had children call me mother.

Obituary content:
Rachel Lane Louden, 25, of Indianapolis fell asleep Saturday evening, September 22, 2012 at her parent's home after a long illness. She is now awaiting the return of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Rachel was born April 28, 1987 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the oldest of two children of Robert and Denise Louden. Rachel attended elementary schools in Grand Rapids, MI and Bloomington, IL before moving to Indianapolis in 1999 where she attended Eastwood Middle School. She graduated from North Central High School in 2005 where she lettered in softball. During her summers she played travel softball, worked at David's Bridal and The Fox and Hound.

She graduated from Ball State University in 2009 with a Bachelors Degree in Sports Administration. She was a member of Kappa Delta Sorority and served on several committees.
While at BSU she coordinated an on-campus Christian Fellowship for The Way International.
She interned at the IHSAA office in Indianapolis and most recently worked at the SportZone. Rachel fellowshipped with The Way International, New Knoxville, Ohio and in 2010 served as a Way Disciple, a part of her ministry's outreach/missionary program.

Rachel loved God, His Word, her family and the believers. She loved school and learning, and got excited every year buying new school supplies. She loved playing and watching sports and especially loved the Cincinnati Reds; she went to the games every summer with her dad and watched them on TV the rest of the time. She loved to hang out with the guys and watch the Colts games. She especially loved her Kappa Delta Sorority and all of her KD sisters. She had a funny and quick sense of humor and delighted in a good laugh; the sound of her and her brother laughing together was the music of our lives. She was a very determined young lady and we told her if she could take her stubbornness and turn it into perseverance, she could rule the world. She wanted things to be done in the right way and made us celebrate holidays and birthdays in a big way when we wanted to do less. She colored when she was sad and sang when she was happy. She loved to wear tiaras, colorful clothes and big earrings. She was courageous; she went to Austin, Texas with the Way Disciple program knowing that cancer had returned. Her faith and her strong will kept her alive much longer than expected. Her perseverance was inspiring to all those around her.

Rachel is survived by her parents, Robert and Denise Louden; and her brother, Jesse Louden; many wonderful aunts, uncles and cousins across the country; and a great number of Kappa Delta Sorority sisters and many close friends.

A Memorial Service will be held Thursday, October 4th at 6 pm at Aaron Ruben Nelson Mortuary, 11411 North Michigan Road. Family and friends are welcome at 5 pm. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Way International or Kappa Delta Sorority.

A poem from Adele's son, John Domont
A LAST LOVE LETTER

Through ancient heavens
in this vast Life
a spark ignites
a flame grows.

A child like many others
like none other,
curls and lace dresses.
Angelic sweetness, innocence
adolescent sadness.

Silently she clings to hope and trust.

Magic follows her star
On this the world turns,
turns for her.

Not knowing
nor understanding
the innocent blossoming of Grace.

Shoulders of Love
spirit of duty
bounty of existence.

Community, society, notoriety
worldwide whirlwind
dreams beyond dreams.

Angelic kindness maturing,
trials of patience,

Sparkly eyed boys
adoring, wanting, loving,
beauty, poise, care.
Sweetheart to many
heart of joy.

Tempest Fugit

The Heavens roll around,
wheels turn
stars shift
winds blow
flames ignite,
others grow still.

Angelic sadness,
sorrow in the way of Grace.

Years alone,
glimmer in a darkened room.
Friends made, friends kept,
friends departed,
kindness in play,
treading time's wheel.

Hope and love passed on.
angelic woman, charm of Grace.

It's difficult to dance alone
to smile alone
to be alone.

A child like many others
and like no other,
curls and lace dresses.

A lover with no love
Loving all, caring kindness carries on.

Sweetness remains
angelic face
the beauty of Life
faith in Grace

Through all the heavens
in this vast universe
Her Spark
Her Flame
Her Life
Our Adele.

Robert Stout Fribley, 58, of Indianapolis, passed to his next level of consciousness on July 18, 2012, as a result of injuries sustained in an auto accident on July 9. Rob was born in Richmond, Indiana, December 25, 1953, to the late Rev. Robert W. Fribley and the late Jane E. Stout Fribley, who were long-time residents of Indianapolis.

Rob was a devoted son, husband, father, sibling, uncle, and friend to all who knew him. He was a very kind and caring person who put the needs of others before his own. In addition to relationships with family and friends, Rob's joy was found in camping and communing with nature, writing songs and playing guitar, and his study and spiritual quest for the meaning of life. He spent countless hours at bedside with family members and friends in their final weeks and days, providing unwavering solace and care as they passed from this life. We are deeply saddened to lose Rob from our world, but find comfort knowing his physical being is now at peace, and that his spirit is truly free to seek the answers he sought for so long. His spirit also lives on with those who loved him, and in the many gardens he nurtured and left behind.

Rob is survived by his daughter, Jenna L. Fribley (Ike Goss), ex-wife Nancy S. Fribley, three sisters, Nancy J. Snider (John), Barbara J. Weidenbener (Joseph), and Sarah A. Reynolds (Richard), his loving niece and nephews, Beth, Eric, Jeff, David, and Jason, and his cousins. There are also many close friends who embraced Rob as part of their own family.

Anne F. Niequist, 85, Retired teacher
Valparaiso resident and retired teacher Anne Niequist, 85, died May 15 in an automobile accident in White County, IN. She was born June 4, 1926, in Covington, KY, to Charles C. and Ruth (Hiles) Franklin. Survivors include her husband, Donald G. White; daughters, Pamela Wehbi of Villa Park, IL, and Nancy Schoon of Miller Beach; sister, Martha Williams of Hebron; and grandsons, Alan and Kelly Wehbi and Kevin Schoon.

Anne was a beloved English teacher who positively influenced the lives of many. Her former Markleville (IN) High School student Landis Harper dedicated his dissertation to her and said, "She showed this writer the elegance of an educated mind."

Among her many achievements, Anne was Past President of IRTA ( Indiana Retired Teachers Association) from 1995-1997. She and her husband were on their way to Indianapolis, where she was to have received a special award for her work with IRTA, when she was killed. Anne was also active in AARP and Trinity Lutheran Church, and was the first woman ever to serve on the Valparaiso School Board. In addition, she authored the book Teaching Grammar with a Purpose.
Anne received her M.S.ED. and B.A. from Valparaiso University and began her teaching career in 1948. She was a member of Chesterton High School's English department from 1968-1987. Prior to that, she taught English at Markleville High School (1963-68).
"As she was a dedicated teacher, she was a dedicated person who made a difference," Mr. Harper said.
"I know of no higher pedestal that my friend could attain."
A memorial service will be announced at a later date, pending her husband's recovery from the accident.

Obituary content:
We celebrate the life of Sherrie Marlene Wilson. Her journey began on April 9, 1950 in the small town of Muncie, IN . She was known for her big heart and caring ways. Sherrie was a beautiful mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend. No matter how tough life's obstacles, she always managed to think of others first. Whether it was making sure the coffee was ready for her twin sister every morning or whipping up one of her famous meatloaves for all to enjoy. You knew you could always count on "mom". She enjoyed the simple treasures of life, like a person's smile and a good laugh. Unfortunately for all of us and everyone that knew her, on May 16, 2012, God decided her earthly journey had come to an end. Surrounded by her loving family at the old home place, she was released to the angels and ascended to her Heavenly Home.

She is preceded in death by her father, Alfred; the father of her children, David; and her long time companion, Hershel. She is survived by her daughter, Julie (Harry); son, Chris (Brenda); mother, Constance; brother, Rod (Nancy); twin sister, Terrie (Woody); sisters, Penny (Haroon) and Sandy (John); six grandsons, Andrew, Derrick, Dion, Shea, Jordan and William; nephews and nieces, Jason (Brandy), Misty (Jamie), Josh (Sara), Drew and Seth; great nieces and nephews, Jordan, Clarissa (Monkey), JJ, Jalynn (Teedi-Toddi), and Noelle (Lil Nell).

Our family would like to thank St. Johns Hospital, especially Dr. Brooks Parker, 5 South RN Joe, and Hospice nurse Tara for their wonderful care and compassion during this heartbreakingly brief illness. Our sorrow is not without hope, knowing we will all be together again in our eternal Heavenly Home. We thank God that He has allowed us to share our lives with such a beautiful soul, which will continue to live on through her devoted and loving twin, Terrie.

Per Sherrie's request, there will be a private memorial service at a later date.

She was dedicated to preserving the natural world. In the 1950's, she and her husband designed and built Glen Fruin, a unique home in the Montgomery County woods. It remains a dedicated nature sanctuary to this day. All those who were lucky enough to visit were enchanted by its beauty and appropriateness to its setting.

Mary Ellen loved genealogy and history. She held many leadership positions in the many societies to which she belonged, including the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Society of Indiana Pioneers, DAC, DCW, DCH, Colonial Dames of the XVII Century, Decedents of Early Quakers, etc.

Vernamae M. Kindy, 76

Date of Birth:		03-04-1936
Date of Death:		04-29-2012

Obituary content:
Vernamae Myrtle (Becker) Kindy, 76, passed peacefully from this world into the next on April 29, 2012.

She was born on March 4, 1936, in Almena Township in upstate Wisconsin to Goldie C. (Ries) Becker and William Henry Becker. She was the third child in a large family that included three sisters and six brothers. Growing up on the "Rocky Ranch" there was always work to be done, and Verna preferred to do farm chores rather than help out with cooking or dishes. One of the stories she liked to tell was about one of her first jobs: she worked as a teller at the Almena bank, and one day when she was working, the bank was robbed, and she was tied up with shoelaces and locked in the bathroom. She would laugh as she finished the story by saying that the robbers were caught just 30 minutes afterward.

Verna married Delmas DuWaine ("Blix") Peterson on September 25, 1956. They lived in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) and had two daughters together: Nancy Jean Peterson and Vicki Lynn (Peterson) Pool. They divorced in 1968.

Verna was remarried on January 30, 1971, to Phillips Kindy. Their marriage included a move to south Florida, a climate of sunshine and palm trees that Verna loved and where she chose to remain even after Phillips's death in 1972. While living in Florida, Verna enrolled in college, earned her bachelors and masters degrees in accounting, became a CPA, and later opened up her own small business accounting firm. She believed strongly in education for women as a means of professional advancement, and she was proud that her two daughters earned their undergraduate degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Verna also was glad to know that both daughters found happiness in marriage, and she welcomed her sons-in-law, Dennis W. Drews and Don Ray Pool, into the family. Verna was a devoted grandmother to Willem, Samuel, and Louise Drews, and she stayed young at heart through them.

In January 2003, after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Verna moved to Indianapolis to be closer to her family: daughter Nancy and family lived close by in Lafayette, Indiana, and daughter Vicki and husband relocated to Zionsville, Indiana, later in 2003. During her time in Indianapolis, Verna especially enjoyed getting to spend more time with her sister Marcie, and she was happy to see all the friends and family who came to visit her. Verna's love of music continued throughout her life, and she always smiled and sang along with Frank Sinatra's classic tunes.

Vernamae was preceded in death by her parents, her husbands, and her brother Leon. Along with her daughters, sons-in-law, and her grandchildren, Verna is survived by eight of her siblings: Alice Carson (husband Ray) of Duluth, Minnesota; Wilbert Becker (wife Elaine) of Apple Valley, Minnesota; Marcella Thompson of Indianapolis, Indiana; Allen Becker (wife Anita Raffesberger) of Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Warren Becker (wife Julie) of St. Paul, Minnesota; Ralph Becker of Almena; Gladys Birkholz of Genoa City, Wisconsin; and Russell Becker (wife Joy) of rural Barron, Wisconsin. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Gloria Becker of North Branch, Minnesota, and many nieces and nephews.

Verna was much loved, and she will be missed.

Obituary content:
Dorothy M. Keller, 90, Brownsburg, formerly of Sun City Center, Florida, passed away Monday, April 2, 2012.

Dorothy was born August 4, 1921 in Boston, Massachusetts. She married William Barlow in 1945 who, sadly, passed away in 1948. After his death, she flew to Hawaii to stay with her sister where she met and then married Hugh Keller in 1950. They were married until Hugh's passing in 1986. Hugh was in the Coast Guard and FAA, so much of their life was spent moving around the country with their four children. They settled in Indianapolis until 1978, when they decided to plant their roots in Sun City Center to enjoy retirement. Dorothy moved back to Indianapolis in 2008.

While living in Florida, Dot was an avid swimmer, performing in a synchronized swimming group and she was most proud of swimming over 2500 miles in the community pool. She was an outstanding seamstress and excellent cook. She always kept a beautiful home and she never left the house without looking just perfect.

What most will say about her is that she never met a stranger. She always had a smile for and a conversation with anyone she met. Her greatest joys were her family and all the wonderful friends she met along the way. She was a dear friend to many and loved helping anyone who needed it.

Dorothy is survived by her children, William (Nancy) Keller, Douglas (Julie) Keller, Steven (Mary Jane) Keller, and Karen Nostrand, 7 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren, and a stepson, Robert (Sandy) Keller and their 4 children. Also mourning her loss are her sisters, Marion Harrower and Florence Hardy.

Obituary content:
Frances B. Julian died on April 1, after a short illness. She was 88 years old and lived in Indianapolis all of her life. She was the matriarch of her family and an active participant in many civic, arts and community organizations as a board member and volunteer.

Frances was born on July 11, 1923, the daughter of Joseph M. Bloch and Roslyn Leopold Bloch. J. M. Bloch was the proprietor of The Gibson Company, the first automotive parts distributor in the world. She married Bill Julian in 1946. The marriage lasted 58 years until Bill's death in 2004.

Frannie, as she was known to her friends, went to School 66, Shortridge High School and Sarah Lawrence College. She did graduate work in social work at Bryn Mawr and in library science at Indiana University. She was a proud member of the Clique Club, a group of women who became friends in grade school and remained friends for more than 80 years. In recognition of her lifelong dedication to libraries and reading, her children created an award in her name at Park Tudor School for a student library volunteer.

Frances was a creative force in the cultural life of Indianapolis. Her special project was The Children's Museum, on whose board she served for 35 years.

She was among the original group of supporters that established the IRT. She was a close collaborator with Tom Beczkiewicz in initiating the International Violin Competition.

She was also a creative force in the civic life of Indianapolis, serving on the Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee and boards of the Central Indiana Foundation, the United Way, including its Allocation Committee, and the Community Service Council, among others. She was proud of the work she did with the Salem Village tenants' council to assure that both girls and boys had recreational opportunities when a Boys' Club was established in the neighborhood.

Along with her husband Bill, who was active in interfaith activities as a member of the Jewish community, she endowed a lecture on interfaith dialogue in the Jewish Studies Program at Indiana University.

Obituary content:
FRANCES L. HACKETT
Nov. 29, 1929-March 27, 2012

Frances L. Hackett, a longtime resident of Indianapolis, died Tuesday (March 27) at age 82 in Venice, Fla. She was spending the winter with her family in Venice when she passed away suddenly and without suffering.

Esteemed for her integrity, kindness, intelligence and keen wit, Frances left many legacies: She was co-founder and President of a successful book publishing company; the matriarch to a large and loving family; a mental health crisis-line counselor; a champion for racial harmony; and a stalwart friend.

Friends described her as one of the warmest, most generous and non-judgmental women they had ever known. One of Frances' favorite sayings was, "No one gets all the love they want, but if they get the love they need, they are blessed"

Frances Ruth Lurvey was born Nov. 29, 1929 at Methodist Hospital. She was the youngest of five children of David and Frances (Traugott) Lurvey. Her father was the owner of Hatfield Electric Company. Frances was preceded in death by her sister, Rosalie L. (Rothbard) and two brothers, Leonard and Jerome. She is survived by her brother, William L. Lurvey of Indianapolis.

Frances attended Tudor Hall and Shortridge High School. At Goucher College in Baltimore, where she matriculated in 1947, she received a degree in history. She married Sam Ross and they had two children, David and Jennifer.
Early in her career, she worked as a writer for a magazine in Miami, where she interviewed celebrities such as Rock Hudson and Joan Crawford. After her divorce from Ross, she returned to Indianapolis, becoming director of publicity for Bobbs Merrill Publishing Company's College Division, where she met her future husband William H. Y. Hackett Jr. The couple married in 1969 and Hackett adopted Frances' two children.
In 1972, Bill and Frances founded Hackett Publishing Company in their home on Pennsylvania Street. The company grew to become one of the nation's leading publishers in the humanities, with offices today in Indianapolis and Cambridge, Mass. When Bill Hackett died in 1986, Frances moved to ensure the continuity of their company as an independent venture and shared with its growing staff in all of its core functions, remaining its President until the time of her death.
Frances, who knew the ordeals of depression, had a special compassion for those suffering such afflictions. For the past decade, she was a suicide-intervention counselor for Mental Health America of Greater Indianapolis. Frances was also a founding member of Dialogue Today, a coalition of Jewish and African-American women in Indianapolis that dealt with the twin problems of racism and anti-Semitism.
Survivors include her daughter Jennifer Ash, son-in-law David Ash, grandchildren Drew and Maddie Ash, all of Connecticut; son David M. Hackett, daughter-in-law, Kimberly Hackett, and grandchildren Anthony, Laura and Aaron Hackett, all of Venice, as well as five step-children, William H.Y.Hackett III of Fort Myers, Fla., Emily, Tom and Mark Hackett, all of Vermont, and Olive Hackett of San Francisco. Other survivors include nine step-grandchildren, Megan, Martha and Ira Shaughnessy, Whitney and Abigail Hackett, Cole and William H. Y Hackett IV, Calder Corey, Lilda Rock-Wiley and Emily Y. Hackett. She is also survived by nine nieces and nephews, including David and Diane Lurvey of Indianapolis.
Her friends in Indianapolis are too numerous to name, but each held a special place. Several of her friendships dated 60 years and longer. Even as she entered her 80s, Frances maintained a youthful spirit. She enjoyed golf, bridge, bowling and, most of all, reading. A tower of books was always close to her bedside.
She last played golf in October, defeating her son, 31 years her junior, on the final hole. She pocketed her winnings in the clubhouse and bought him a beer and hotdog. She never looked happier.
Services will be at 1 p.m. Wednesday (April 4) at the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation. Burial will follow at Washington Park Cemetery. A celebration of her life will follow at the Broadmoor Country Club

Donations in her honor may be made to the Jewish Community Center of Indianapolis, the Southern Poverty Law Center or Feed America. Arrangements provided by Aaron Ruben Nelson Mortuary.

Fred Sanders, MD, PhD, 88

Thu, 29 Mar 2012

Date of Birth:		04-10-1923
Date of Death:		03-28-2012

Obituary content:
Fred Sanders, MD, PhD,
age 88, died Wednesday at his home, in the presence of his beloved wife, Frieda, who selflessly cared for him during his short, brutal battle with cancer. Fred was born April 10, 1923, in The Bronx, New York, where he grew up in a tough and poor immigrant neighborhood. The urban experience of his youth was abruptly halted by World War II. He proudly served in the US Army from 1943 to 1945, earning an honorable discharge despite his occasional dishonorable behavior in France in regards to food and wine.

After the war, he and his then new bride moved to Bloomington, Indiana, so that Fred could attend Indiana University on an academic scholarship. As he had his entire life, Fred excelled in academia. He graduated from IU in 1949 with a Bachelor of Science degree with High Honors. Fred and Frieda then moved to Muncie, NY, where Fred joined the research team of Lederle Laboratory. In 1958, he was admitted to the prestigious New York Academy of Sciences. Of particular note was the publication of a research paper in SCIENCE, a highly regarded publication whose list of contributors included Albert Einstein. Encouraged by his success as a research scientist, Fred earned a joint PhD in biochemistry and an MD from the University of Texas. He held the distinction of graduating not only with a double degree, a rarity at that time, but also with graduating as the number one student in his medical class. Fred was accepted in a residency program in general medicine at Marion County General Hospital (now Clarion/IU Hospital).

In 1963, he opened a private medical practice on the northwest side of Indianapolis, where he continued to treat a large and loyal roster of patients until his retirement at the age of 76. Although no longer practicing, patients continuously telephoned him during those retirement years to seek advice regarding their medical conditions and personal lives. He always found the time to talk to them. Sometimes he even found the time to lecture them.

Personally, Fred was known and will be remembered for his keen intellect, his wicked sense of humor, his sharp tongue, his ability to teach himself Italian at the age of 83, his love of opera and classical music, his distaste for politics, his even greater distaste for politicos and his inability to accept mediocrity. Fred was also known for his socially acceptable quasi-hedonistic taste for food and wine, especially his love of authentic delicatessen and the foods of his youth. He ate with gusto and had the uncanny ability to remember every detail of special meals celebrated with friends and family over the years.

Fred was most proud of his successful marriage of 64 years to the woman he referred to publicly and privately as "Punim", his three children and his six grandchildren whom he referred to as "the light of his life". He spent many afternoons in retirement teaching his grandchildren how to play chess, distinguish Mozart from Brahms, and jump rope. Less than a week before he died, he was found teaching one of his grandchildren how to use a vintage 35 mm camera.

Besides Frieda, Fred is survived by his children: Susan Sanders, Martha Sanders Hoover (John Hoover), George Sanders (Dana Sanders), his grandchildren: Sarah Hoover, Rachael Hoover, Jordan Sanders, David Hoover, Benjamin Sanders and Rebecca Sanders.

Marilyn K. Glick, 90

Fri, 23 Mar 2012

Date of Birth:		03-08-1922
Date of Death:		03-23-2012

Obituary content:
Marilyn K. Glick, one of Indiana's most generous philanthropists, died at her home Friday. She was 90.

Determined and driven to accomplish whatever project was at hand, she led civic groups, founded charitable programs, and gave generously to the causes she championed. To her husband, real estate magnate Gene Glick, she was the perfect partner in family life and business, on the golf course and the dance floor. The couple celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary January 7, 2012.

Together with her husband, Marilyn Glick funded the Glick Eye Institute at the Indiana University School of Medicine, the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, the Indiana Authors Award, and a wide array of charitable projects benefiting the arts, education, public health, and aid organizations throughout Central Indiana.

Born March 8, 1922, she was the only child of Abraham Jacob Koffman of Detroit and Rose Budd Koffman of Indianapolis. Her early childhood was spent in a Detroit community filled with friendly neighbors, Good Humor ice-cream wagons, and hawking newsboys. The family worshiped at Congregation Shaarey Zedeck and spent summer days boating on Lake St. Clair.

Her father, who owned and managed rental properties, lost his savings in the 1929 stock market crash and died suddenly in 1933. Though still very young, Glick became the primary source of emotional and financial support for her mother. It was during this time that she learned to manage a household, cook, and stretch a dollar.

As a teen she moved with her mother to Indianapolis, where she graduated with honors from Shortridge High School in 1940. She completed advanced business courses and began a career at Indianapolis Life Insurance Company, where she rose from a clerk in the policy loan department to the head of the reinsurance department and secretary to the vice president.

Though life could be challenging during this time, she developed a determined and independent spirit, building close friendships, taking on leadership roles in civic and Jewish organizations, and facing the world with the belief that something better was always around the corner. An unexpected bridge game with a young WWII veteran in December 1945 proved to be that bright turning point in her life.

During their courtship, Gene and Marilyn took their respective nest eggs and began investing in real estate together. After their marriage in 1947, they founded what would become the Gene B. Glick Company, one of the largest privately held real estate development firms in the country. In the early days of the company, Gene ran the business while also holding down a day job at Peoples Bank in Indianapolis. Marilyn supervised their construction projects and was tenacious in securing scarce building materials.

Their new partnership coincided with the greatest housing boom in U.S. history, and by 1962, the company was the largest builder of single family homes in Indiana. During that same year, the company began developing apartment communities, which would become its sole focus in later years.

As the business grew and Glick became the mother of four girls, she transitioned to full-time parenting and community service. She made substantial personal leadership contributions to the Indiana State Symphony Society and its Young Audiences program, she was president of the Borinstein Home Guild (now Hooverwood Guild) from 1966-1968, and she founded People of Vision in 1981 to support Prevent Blindness Indiana.

This dedication to eye health culminated in the Glicks' largest philanthropic grant to date, a $30 million gift to the Indiana University School of Medicine for the construction of its new Glick Eye Institute in Indianapolis. Marilyn Glick hoped that the Eye Institute would become a national center of research and development of new treatments to restore and preserve vision.

The bulk of the fortune the Glicks earned through their business has been used to fund civic projects and charitable organizations throughout Central Indiana. In 1982, the couple established the Eugene & Marilyn Glick Family Foundation, one of the largest private foundations in the state. The pair also established The Glick Fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF), and The Glick Fund of the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis. "Most of us see the Glick name attached to buildings around town, but what fewer people see is the way Gene and Marilyn's vision is carried on by the next generation," said Brian Payne, president of CICF. "In my experience, it's rare to find a family with such a unified and generous approach to making our community a better place. What Marilyn has taught her children and grandchildren may be her most important legacy to Indianapolis."

Jewish causes were a particular passion for Marilyn. She served on the boards of her Temple Sisterhood, the National Council of Jewish Women, and Hadassah The Women's Zionist Organization. She and Gene funded several projects and fellowships through the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem and have been major benefactors of the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis and its programs and services.

Glick began collecting glass art in the 1980s and was one of the nation's most noted studio glass collectors. She cultivated what she referred to as her "addiction" by meeting artists, traveling to their studios, and immersing herself in studying the medium. Her private collection includes works by Dominick Labino, Harvey Littleton, Howard Ben, Bertil Vallien, and Dale Chihuly. This love of art glass inspired the Glicks' recent gift to Ball State University to construct its new Glick Center for Glass, a hot-glass studio and instruction center.

Her contributions to the arts community were recognized by Governor Evan Bayh, who appointed her to the Indiana Arts Commission in 1990, where she served for eight years. She received the Sagamore of the Wabash honor from Governor Frank O'Bannon in 1997, and she and her husband also received the Indiana Governor's Arts Award in 2003. In 2011, she received honorary doctorates from both Ball State University and Indiana University.

As a young woman, Glick learned that she had been adopted, and in subsequent decades attempted to trace her roots, with little success. It wasn't until the early '90s that she discovered she had an older sister, Frances Ornstein Ellison. Though her sister had died in 1972, Glick was able to establish a relationship with her sister's children.

Known as Bunny to her close friends, Marilyn Glick was a member of Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation. She is survived by her husband, Eugene B. Glick, and their four daughters: Marianne Glick (Mike Woods), Arlene Grande (Thomas), Alice Meshbane (Andrew), and Lynda Schwartz (Mark). She is also survived by her many grandchildren and three great grandchildren, as well as her niece and nephew.

A memorial service will take place Monday, March 26th at 10:00 am at Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation, 6501 N. Meridian Street. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Glick Eye Institute at Indiana University School of Medicine.

Arrangements entrusted to the Aaron Ruben Nelson Mortuary.

The Glick family will be sitting shiva on Monday, March 26, 2012 from 1:30 - 4:30 PM at 4111 Wythe Lane. Parking and shuttles will be available from Wyandotte School.

Alvin was a Naval Aviator, an Officer and a Gentleman - whatever he did for the rest of his life, he always thought of himself as a fighter pilot.

He and his Escort Carrier squadron of torpedo bombers and fighter planes fought in a number of engagements in the South Pacific - late in World War II. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal for his heroism and extra-ordinary achievement in aerial flight.

Al and Millie learned of Al's Squadron Reunions and they went to every one. One year the squadron invited the kids to the reunion and we were able to meet all the surviving members.

He was an active member of the B.P.O.E. for forty-nine years. Mayor Hudnut recognized his Elks' service for his involvement in the Indiana Soap Box Derby. He was also an Elks Chaplain.

He was a great Dad, Papaw and one of a kind, Uncle Al. He is already missed by his cat and the rest of his family, who knew him from his flying jacket, his double breasted suit and his singing at Seder.

He was loved by all who knew him and he always made us laugh.

Judith Ann Hein
November 28, 1941- February 16, 2012

I wish all of you could have known my Judy, the true example of servant. She always thought of me, or daughters, Lisa and Amy, or her grandchildren before she was concerned about herself.

In her 70 short years, she took care of all of us. As she lay dying of pancreatic cancer, she was concerned that she couldn't care for all of us anymore. Who would do that for us now?

Judy was unassuming, taking with a grain of salt her unequaled skills as mom, wife, grandma, best-of-show cross stitcher, wonderful baker and unquestioning friend.

I know she would be embarrassed that I'm making public even just a small piece of her worth.

Friends, she was real; she was unique; we will always love her.

A special thank you to the caring doctors and nurses at the Cancer Center and Community North Hospital and Hospice.

There will be no formal service for Judith Ann Panella Hein, but all of her friends will have a memorial gathering for her in May.

Obituary content:
Frank H. Newman

Long time Executive Vice President of the Jewish Federation of greater Indianapolis and later the JCF Endowment fund died at the age of 98, Saturday morning at Hooverwood. His tenure as Federation executive was filled with numerous accomplishments including the building of the Jewish Community Campus where he proudly spent the last few months of his long life.

Born in Chicago in 1913, Newman graduated from George Williams College with a degree in Group Work Education and received a Master of Social Work from the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis Missouri. Newman's Jewish Community service began in Yonkers, New York and then moved to St. Louis, where he was on the staffs of their Jewish Community Center. He went on to become the Federation director in Gary, Indiana for eight years. In Gary he was one of the founders of the National Association of Social Workers Chapter in that area and was budget chairman for the United Fund of Gary. Following Gary he served on the administrative staffs of the Chicago and the New York metropolitan areas. He came to Indianapolis from Newark, N.J., where he was with the Jewish Federation and served as consultant on fund raising and health and welfare planning to 45 communities over an 11-state area and Canada. He came to Indianapolis in December of 1959.

Frank Newman was a World War II veteran serving as a Sergeant in the Medical Corp in Europe and the United States. During his tenure in Indianapolis, Federation campaigns grew steadily and placed Indianapolis "at the forefront of communities of its size" according to a 1975 quote from community leader Marty Larner. Newman was chairman of the Finance Committee of Inter-Faith Housing and on the Board of the Visiting Nurses Association. Newman also served on the boards of Planned Parenthood, the Indianapolis Repertory Theater, Daymar and Dance Kaleidoscope, Ballet International, Girls Club of Indianapolis, United Way, Community Credit Counseling, Legal Aid Society, and FBI Citizen's Academy. He was a long time member of Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation and Broadmoor Country Club.

Newman's influence on the Jewish Community of Indianapolis was so significant that it is hard to understand unless you lived through it. During his tenure there was a strengthening of relationships between the synagogues and Federation, the building of a community mikvah and the expansion of the Jewish Community Campus. Community leaders have commented over the years about how much of an influence he had on them and how much Frank impacted their involvement in the Jewish Community and in philanthropy in general. The Jewish Community Endowment Fund began under his leadership and he headed it after retiring as Federation director. Many individuals in the original Young Leadership Development program started by Newman went on to become the fabric of the community's philanthropy over the 30 year period of his leadership. The Newman Award is given each year to the most outstanding community professional for that year.

Frank Newman is survived by his wife of 65 years, Dorothy Selig Newman, his son Robert (Jan) of Hillsborough California, and two daughters, Terry Bernstein (Richard) of St. Louis, Missouri, and Nancy Reiter of Indianapolis. Grandchildren include Lauren Bernstein, David Bernstein, Julie Bernstein, Jessica Reiter, and Katie Reiter.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Frank H. Newman Charitable Fund c/o the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis. Services will be held on Monday Dec. 12, 2011 at 2p.m. at the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation; 6501 N. Meridian St. with the burial at the Indianapolis Hebrew Cemetery North. Arrangements entrusted to Aaron-Ruben-Nelson Mortuary.

Date of Death:		11-15-2011

Obituary content:
D. William Brink

Bill Brink, affectionately known as the "Mayor of Broad Ripple," died Tuesday, November 15, 2011, at age 63. He had an eye and appreciation for the great outdoors and, with a keen knowledge of where the wild things could be found, he captured them with his camera for all to enjoy.

Dwight William Brink was born in Indianapolis to Dwight Brink and Alice Cooper Brink on November 12, 1948. He was a member of the Broad Ripple High School Class of 1967, and formerly worked for the Indiana School for the Deaf and the American Cancer Society. He founded and operated Great Outdoors TurfScapes, a highly respected, environmentally conscientious turf management company on the north side of Indianapolis.

Bill is survived by long-time partner and companion, Linda Shikany of Indianapolis; sister, Elizabeth "Betty" Bridgwater of Fort Wayne; brother, John (Shirley) Brink of Jacksonville FL; several nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews; dogs, Big, Doc and Breezy; horses, O'Grady and Beau; and twelve unnamed homing pigeons.

An avid outdoorsman and naturalist, Bill was also an accomplished, self-taught wildlife photographer whose work exhibited great sensitivity and attention to detail. He knew exactly when and where to find his subjects and possessed the patience and skill to get the perfect shot. He was a founder of and exhibitor in the annual Eagle Creek Park Images of Nature Exhibit; his nature photos also appeared in various print media as well as shows at Circle Theatre, Penrod Arts Fair, Ashland Gallery, Conner Prairie, Holliday Park, the Charles Meyer Gallery, Perk Up Cafe and Big Hat Books & Arts.

Bill's interest in nature was sparked by his parents' deep respect for the outdoors, and he generously shared his own passion and knowledge with friends as well as acquaintances. He was the "go to" guy for information regarding almost any subject pertaining to the natural world including Indiana native plants and animals, prairies, wildflower propagation and landscaping with native plants. He was a marvelous story-teller, avid canoeist and veteran birder with an amazing ability to call in screech owls. He visited nearly every park and nature preserve in Indiana. Bill was a frequent reference in others' publications about nature and the wildlife of Indiana, including publications by Ruth Ann Ingraham, Sherman Minton, Mike Homoya and Carolyn Harstadt.

It is no surprise that Bill's civic and volunteer activities reflected his interest in the outdoors. He was a founder of the Indiana Native Plant and Wildflower Society (INPAWS), a member and former board member of the Indiana Audubon Society, a member of the Amos Butler Audubon Society, the Blatchley Nature Study Club (Noblesville) and the Indianapolis Library Foundation. He was a volunteer for Eagle Creek Park, a founder of the Scott Starling Nature Sanctuary at Eagle Creek and a former member of the Friends of Holliday Park board of directors. For many years, Bill led Sunday morning bird hikes at Eagle Creek Park.

Other interests included raising and training pointing dogs and gaited horses. He competed in field trials throughout the Midwest. His interest in the environment carried over into his business operations, where he advocated natural "green" treatments and procedures, and he admonished his customers to "water your lawn sufficiently and raise your mower blade." He was a proud member of the "Boar's Nest Group" which met regularly at Plump's Last Shot in Broad Ripple Village.

Memorial contributions may be made to: Eagle Creek Park Foundation (7840 W. 56th Street, Indianapolis, 46254), Friends of Holliday Park (6363 Spring Mill Road, Indianapolis, 46260) or Letha's Fund (c/o INPAWS, P.O. Box 30317, Indianapolis, 46230), which supports educational programs that help bring young people into closer contact with nature.

A celebration of Bill's life will be held on Sunday, November 20 from noon until 4 PM at the Riviera Club, 5640 N. Illinois Street in Indianapolis.
