Pamela Ann Dodds, 77, of West Burlington, passed away at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 16 at Southeast Iowa Regional Hospice House in the presence of her family, and the peace and grace of the Lord.

Pam was a devoted daughter, sister, mother, wife, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her family is her legacy and the energy that powered her life to the end.

She was born Dec. 29, 1946, to Harry Rheinschmidt and Mary Lee McKitterick Rheinschmidt. The family initially lived on North Hill in Burlington before her father moved the family to a farm near Beaverdale where she was raised with two brothers and two sisters. Pam had a special relationship with her grandmother Margaret Brooks Rheinschmidt and spent many hours playing with her grandmother, and grandfather Ed Rheinschmidt. Ed was a businessman in West Burlington and served on the West Burlington City Council. Pam graduated from Burlington High School and attended Burlington Community College before having her first son Daniel in 1967. She entered the workforce as a cashier at Giants Food Store in Fareway Center in Burlington.

She married Ronald Raymond Vandenberg in 1968 and had two more children, Charles and John, in 1968 and 1970. Pam and Ron divorced, and then the mother of three went to work at the Central Soya Company and Burlington Basket Co. to provide for her family.

In 1975 she had her fourth son Michael, and the four lived together in West Burlington. She went back to school at Western Illinois University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in science education with a teaching certificate. After a short stint substitute teaching and a year with the Burlington Community School District, she joined the Danville Community School District where she taught physics, biology, and chemistry. She retired from teaching in 2015. In 1989 she married long-time friend Randy Dodds and the two were together until he passed in 2017 after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease. Pam also served on the West Burlington School District Board of Education.

She enjoyed spending time with special friends Mike Sweet, Charlene Lindsay, Cindy Brown and Joyce Mickey. And her favorite thing to do was take her friends and family out for meals, spending holidays together, hosting family vacations at cabins throughout Tennessee and Kentucky, and trying her luck at casinos across the Midwest.

Pam is survived by her four sons: Dan (Karen) Rheinschmidt of Cape Coral, Fla., Charles (Lee) Vandenberg of Fort Madison, John (Susan) Vandenberg of West Burlington, and Mike Vandenberg of West Burlington; two sisters: Carol Myers of West Burlington, and Karen (Millard) Walls, of Kentucky; one brother, Jerry Rheinschmidt of Colorado; seven grandchildren: Branden Rheinschmidt of North Carolina, Heather Rheinschmidt of Florida, Taylor Vandenberg of New York, Natalie Vandenberg, Hayden Vandenberg and Amelia Vandenberg, all of West Burlington, and Hayden Wilson of W. Des Moines; and two great-grandchildren Kyle and Daniel Rheinschmidt of Florida.

She was preceded in death by her parents, one brother Ron Rheinschmidt, and one granddaughter Kelsey Vandenberg.&nbsp;

A visitation will be held at Prugh-Thielen Funeral Home and Crematory in West Burlington from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 20. Mom requested a graveside service at her family’s plot in Aspen Grove Cemetery immediately following the visitation.

Jerry Ray Bonebright, age 77, of Albia, died peacefully on Jan. 12, 2024, at the VA hospital hospice ward in Des Moines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Jerry was the son of Raymond and Wanda Hurley Bonebright.&nbsp; He was born in Unionville, Mo. on Dec. 1, 1946.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a young boy, Jerry attended a one-room country school- house in Russell, Iowa.&nbsp; Later in his childhood, they moved to Albia where he would graduate from high school.&nbsp; Jerry was always up to something.&nbsp; As a kid, he would tinker in the basement.&nbsp; He built rockets and set them off.&nbsp; He got caught because the smoke started creeping up the stairs.&nbsp; His dad would yell down, “Jerry, what are you doing?”&nbsp; His reply was the same every time he got caught red-handed, “NOTHING!!!”&nbsp; He moved to Albia where he and his dad drove eggs to Chicago. After that, his father opened a family produce business in Albia.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Jerry went into the Marines and was starting OCS when he had to take an honorable discharge to return to Albia due to his father’s death and his mother’s quickly declining health.&nbsp; While in the Marines, he earned several medals including expert marksmanship coming in first out of 200 men.

He belonged to the VFW and the Legion in Albia, Iowa.&nbsp; He was a proud member of the NRA. After his service in the Navy ended, he returned to Albia and started a siding business.&nbsp; After that he started driving truck; that was a major part of his life which he did for 40 + years for Stone Container and Ashley Furniture, eventually retiring from Ashley.&nbsp; He traveled all over the continental US; He enjoyed runs to the south and west the most-his favorites were Texas and Colorado.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Do not ask him to run east.&nbsp; He liked going through Nebraska so he could stop at Cabela’s. Jerry enjoyed the outdoors.&nbsp; He loved hunting, fishing, camping, and target practice with guns and bows. He also enjoyed riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle.&nbsp; His creativity and experiments continued into his adult life.&nbsp; You could find him in the garage tinkering and inventing things.&nbsp; If he wasn’t in there, he was building something, fixing things- cars, appliances, plumbing, pretty much anything.&nbsp; He enjoyed taking care of his beautiful lawn with mature trees.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Jerry married Nancy Smith on April 30, 1982, at the First Christian Church in Albia.&nbsp; Nancy and Jerry celebrated 41 years of marriage.&nbsp; They have a son, Scott (Melanie) Smith of Newton, Iowa and a daughter, Shannon (Kevin) Henderson of Johnston, Iowa.&nbsp; Jerry’s grandchildren are: Raven (Jamie) Sook of Ravenswood, West Virginia, Courtney (Trent) McPhillips of Union, Iowa.
