Joyce Cavanaugh

On August 10, 2008, Mary Joyce Glowczewsky Cavanaugh went home to Heaven to dance with her husband, Dale, and party with the Lord.

Funeral mass will be at 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, August 12, 2008 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Storm Lake. Burial will be in the St. Mary’s Cemetery. The Fratzke and Jensen Funeral Home in Storm Lake is in charge of the arrangements.

Joyce was born on December 27, 1919, in Makoti, North Dakota, the daughter of Leo S. and Grace (Gustafson) Glowczewsky. She rode the train to Iowa as a small girl, and it was in Storm Lake that she met and married the love of her life (Dale Cavanaugh) and raised her five children, Nancy (Bittner), Jan (Logan), Pat (Seiner), Tim Cavanaugh and Julie (Hofmeyer) on a cozy acreage north of town.

Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Joyce knew that she was kind and generous; loyal and honest; witty and sharp; a shoulder to lean on, and a barrel of fun. She was also a firecracker. She enjoyed card games, cooking and baking, nightly whiskey sours (three pointers), Ozzie Smith and the Cardinals, game shows, sports, crossword puzzles, storytelling, the Saint Mary’s Panthers, and above all, spending time with her family, which she treasured above all things. Joyce relished history and had wonderful stories to share about her youth, and her own parents, and living in California during World War II, and getting into mischief – but the greatest stories she told involved Dale – theirs was a true Hollywood romance.

Mom/Momma/Mamacita/Nana taught us many lessons to take with us on our own journeys, most of which she showed us just by example. Joyce was a devout Catholic who had daily chats with God and she raised a virtuous family - who loves each other above all things. The true testament to her good works.

It was always with a gentle hand and an open chair at the kitchen table that she made miracles happen. She was a light on the porch, a bucket on her head, ice cream under the table, playing pretend church, holding candles, button-button-who’s got the button, homebase, safe place, clean it up and cover for you, a bear hug just when you needed it, a listening ear, a quiet friend, a partner in crime, a worthy mentor, a friend to everyone she met, and a constant in all of our lives. When the whole world went out, she always came in. She made each of us truly believe we were her favorite.

Left to love her from a distance and cherish her memory are as follows: her sister and brother-in-law Franny and Don Carl, sister Lois Cerny, daughter and son-in-law Nancy and Ed Bittner, grandson Todd, his wife Chris, and their kids Olivia and Luke, grandson Jeff, his wife Joy, and their daughter Savannah, granddaughter Melissa, her husband Mike, and their kids Natalie, Abby and Ryan, granddaughter Traci, daughter Jan, daughter and son-in-law Pat and Denny Seiner, granddaughter Ellie, her husband Chad, and their son Joshua, granddaughter Anna and her husband, Drew, grandsons Mike and John, granddaughter Rachael, son and daughter-in-law Tim and Peg Cavanaugh, granddaughter Meghan, grandson Bailey, daughter and son-in-law Julie and Steve Hofmeyer, granddaughters Alison, Kristina and Jenna Lenz, many nieces and nephews, and a gaggle of lifelong friends.

Joyce was preceded in death by her parents, husband Dale, infant brother Leo, and infant grandson Charlie Cavanaugh.

The Cavanaughs are missing their leader, but Heaven has gained an angel.

And a hell of a dancer.

Here’s to ya, Mom. Thanks for everything, and love you always.

See ya next time.

Gail S. Toomer

Gail S. Toomer, age 88, of Storm Lake, died Monday, September 15, at Buena Vista Regional Medical Center in Storm Lake.

Funeral services for Mrs. Toomer will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 18, at the United Methodist Church in Storm Lake. Burial will be in the Newell Cemetery.

Friends may call from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 17th at the Fratzke & Jensen Funeral Home at 1615 West Milwaukee Street in Storm Lake, where the family will be present from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorials be directed to the Gail Toomer memorial fund.

Gail Sophie was born to Louis and Sophie (Behrens) Lehmkuhl on April 9, 1920 in Storm Lake, Iowa. She was baptized and confirmed in the United Church of Christ in Newell. Gail lived her childhood years on a farm north of Newell and attended Newell Consolidated School, graduating in 1938.

On January 22, 1944, Gail was united in marriage to Edward Toomer in Coffeyville, Kansas, where Ed was initially stationed during World War II. While Ed was at sea, she delivered her first child, Ann, in McAllen, Texas. After his return from the Pacific Theatre, they lived on a farm in Nemaha, Iowa for four years where Jerry was born. The family moved seven miles north of Newell, Iowa where they lived and farmed for 40 years.

Gail is loved and remembered as a woman who strived to do it all. She experienced the economic depression of the 1930’s on the farm with her parents by burning corn for fuel. She also lived in Newell for her last two years of high school to save money on gas: the times were challenging.

Gail enjoyed being a part of the farming operation and was an active partner with Ed and the family in the day-to-day work on the farm. As a farm wife, she worked in the field along side Ed and family, but could also whip up a dinner for ten in no time flat! In 1990, she and Ed retired from active farm life and moved to “the city”, Storm Lake.

She treasured her time playing bridge with friends in both Albert City and Storm Lake, as well as dancing at the Cobblestone Ballroom, where she met Ed. Her love of dancing and big band music was truly a highlight of her life: she and Ed spent nearly every Saturday evening watching Lawrence Welk and most Sunday evenings dancing at the Lake View Ballroom.

Those left to cherish her memory are her husband of 64 years, Ed of Storm Lake; her daughter, Ann Klaustermeier and her husband, Larry, of Novato, California; her son, Jerry Toomer and his wife Linda of Indianapolis, Indiana; grandchildren: Christopher Toomer of Semarang, Indonesia, Sarah Klaustermeier of Denver, Colorado and Andrew Klaustermeier of Big Sky, Montana; and her many friends.

Gail was preceded in death by her parents and grandson, Michael Toomer in 1999.

Gail, thanks for the memories!
