Kathleen Kay Pierrot, 77, passed away suddenly on Thursday, May 2, 2024. Kathy was born on March 6, 1947, in Fort Madison, Iowa, to Wilbur and Marcelyn Sandburg Lingenfelter. 

She is survived by her husband of 56 years, Bill, her daughter Michelle Pierrot, and grandson Kyle Hitchcox of Newburgh, and son and daughter-in-law Kris and Jodi Pierrot of Indianapolis; and two sisters, Carolyn Reem and Cindy Textor, and two brothers, Kim and Paul Lingenfelter, all of southeast Iowa; and numerous nephews and nieces.

Kathy and Bill moved to Evansville 50 plus years ago. She was not happy with the move, wanting to stay near her family in Iowa. Bill told her two things, first, let’s give it a year and if it doesn’t work out we can move back to Iowa (it obviously worked out), and second, they could drive to Iowa for visits whenever she wanted (she continued making that 7-hour drive on a regular basis all these years, initially with the whole family and later often by herself). She loved her family. She also enjoyed traveling with Bill. She especially liked the beautiful National Parks in Utah and Colorado. And she developed a strong interest in the history of American Presidents. She would proudly tell about visiting sites -- birthplaces, homes, museums, tombs, -- for every President. Her favorite was Lincoln, she and Bill visited a dozen significant sites associated with Abe. 

Her biggest concern about traveling was making sure her kitties were cared for, but Michelle and Kyle handled that nicely.

Kathy loved people -- her family and Bill’s family of course, but also her exercise group, her bowling teammates, various people she had met over the years (including grade school classmates) and various Newburgh friends and neighbors.

Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, May 10, 2024, at Alexander Funeral Home in Newburgh. Burial will be in Rose Hill Cemetery in Newburgh immediately following the services. Friends may visit with the family from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 9, at the Funeral Home.

A Celebration of Kathy’s Life will be held at a later date in Burlington, Iowa.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Warrick Humane Society.&nbsp;&nbsp;Condolences may be offered online at <a href="http://www.alexandernewburghchapel.com">www.AlexanderNewburghChapel.com</a>

Charles “Chuck” Rucker, 95, of Burlington, died peacefully at his home on Sunday, April 21, 2024, with family members at his bedside.

Born on March 30, 1929, in Clendenin, West Virginia, Chuck was the son of Raymond L. and L. Blanche Foreman Rucker. During his teens, he helped with sales and deliveries at his father’s general store.

On June 7, 1950, he married Marjorie “Penny” Penwell in Villisca. Throughout their long marriage, Chuck and Penny enjoyed traveling abroad and throughout the United States. They often traveled with Penny’s sisters and their spouses. Several family vacations were “working” ones, traveling to various states and even Canada so Chuck could attend the Kiwanis International Conventions while the rest of the family had fun!

Chuck and Penny were always a team, working together raising a family, painting, wallpapering rooms in the house, and making everyday decisions…always together.

Chuck was a highly respected figure in the insurance business for 51 years, serving his clients with honesty, integrity, and professionalism.

He was also proud of being a bone marrow donor and a longtime blood donor.

Survivors include his wife, Penny; one son, Jeff (Cathy) Rucker of Burlington and their children Aaron (Shane) Rucker of Bluffton, S.C., Adam Rucker of West Des Moines, Emily (Kieran) Raval of Vienna, Vir. and Jennifer (Nick) Linderer of Lawrence, Kan.; daughters Kathryn Hays of San Diego, Calif.; Peggy Merati of Burlington, and her children, Brian Merati of Simsbury, Conn. and Nick Merati of Avon, Conn.; and Julia Totemeier of Burlington, and her children, Conrad (Alycia) Totemeier of New London, Karl Totemeier of New London, and Detrich (Morgan) Totemeier of New London. 14 great-grandchildren also survive.

Clara K. Lindstadt, 92, of Lomax, Illinois, died Monday, April 22, 2024, at Oaklane Nursing Home in Stronghurst, Ill. Born March 4, 1932, in Burlington, she was the daughter of Simeon and Pearl Fry Hunter.

Clara was not only giving, loving, and sacrificing of her time and attention to anyone who needed it, she was loyal and blind to anyone’s background. She would always say it doesn’t matter whether you were a king or homeless, when the lights are out, we are all the same. She was of the Christian faith. She was a proud member of the National Honor Society at Burlington High School where she graduated in 1950. There she met the love of her life Carl Lindstadt, and after graduation, they waited for both to turn 18 years old to marry. She became a homemaker, but quickly established her legacy through volunteerism at the Head Start program, health dept., hospital, and later at the Burlington Senior Center.

For her kids, she led Brownie and Boy Scout troops and Sunday school, hosted and cooked for everyone who stopped by. From neighborhood pickup games to school athletics and activities, Clara was there. She was the definition of a team mom. She was there for all of it.

Her husband, Carl, worked for Carl A. Nelson Company as a superintendent. As he was on the road to various parts of Iowa and beyond, she was there with him. Growing up ‘scotchy’, Clara made the most out of nothing, turning jobsite trailers into soup kitchens. All she ever asked in return was that their stomachs were full and a thank you was given.

Her heart and generosity were evident anytime you saw her. Her memory was sharp, she was quick to ask you about your family or about a game or work, she remembered highlights about your life. When you were with Clara you were the most important person in the world. You were always full, in heart and hand, when you left. Clara never believed in someone coming to see her and leaving empty handed. Day or night her phone was always on and her car was always gassed with snacks ready. All she would need is for you to, “Give me a minute and let me put my shoes on and I’ll be right there”.

As grandchildren and great grandchildren were born, her world shifted as she had a new crew to help steward. After a trip with Carl, she wasted no time going to the Wehrle house to see her grandkids. She offered rides, did laundry, always helping wherever and however she could. She would support the kids in all they were in. Christmas was especially important for them to have what they wanted, but also a reason to get together to laugh and connect, but most importantly she got to cook. As they got older, she would brag about where they lived and how successful and proud she was of them.

For over 20 years she was the rock of love and support for Shylah and Stacy. They were her world, and she truly took pride in that role after her daughter and son-in-law passed. For her last 15 years she lived in rural Lomax, IL overseeing a two-man crew. Her great grandchildren Noah and Brady Lenahan were her final crescendo. As she taught them what it was like to have and be a best friend. Whether it was Noah talking about his games or Brady covering her feet every night before bed, Brady would sing or play her his trumpet. She was their first best friend and would transform her room into their personal play area where laughter was heard, and shenanigans encouraged. She taught them how to live in the moment, not to take life for granted, and to love your family.

Clara will truly be missed; she was the consummate mother/grandma to everyone. Quick with a meal, a game of bingo, or any type of card game either made up on the fly, or rummy, her jokes and stories which led to laughter were contagious, but her heart was never full enough. At least that’s the way it seemed as she was always looking to fill it with more and more people to love!

For the woman who was always giving and doing for others, her body was accepted and donated to the University of Iowa Deeded Body Program to give back to the students.

She is survived by her two children; Stephen Lindstadt and Stanley (Kate) Lindstadt; grandchildren in order; Raina, Shylah, Elly, Stacy, Calandra, Lauren, Abigayil, Hannah, Hadassah, Josiah and Jesse; ten great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Carl, daughter Carla Wehrle, son-in-law Mark Wehrle, daughter-in-law Polly Lindstadt, two grandchildren, Rebekah and Lucas and nine brothers and sisters.

A celebration of life is planned for Sunday, July 14, 2024, from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. at TRAX located inside Fun City.

Memorials have been established for Henderson County Hospice or The Cupboard Food Pantry.
