Marion Edwin York, 89, of Burlington died &nbsp;November 3, at home with family by his side. &nbsp;Ed passed quickly and thankfully did not suffer; he died of complications related to his heart and lungs, and while the past few months were not easy for him, this summer he was still riding his Big Bear, driving his new riding mower, and yelling at speeding cars on Gnahn street.

Ed met Jean while she was in nursing school; they had Chinese food for their first date, and later joked that they needed help with the menu. Soon after they married in the Little Brown Church in the Vale in Nashua, Iowa in 1954 and lived in Burlington, Iowa near their families for most of their lives. He frequently mentioned how much he was looking forward to seeing Jean again, who passed in 2015. 

He was known as Pat to his family, Ed to his friends, and Mr. York to his many students. Mr. York was best known for his many years as a biology teacher at Burlington High School. He developed advanced laboratory methods for inspiring students to think independently, and the words “fetal pig” will spark mixed memories for many. He received his Master’s Degree in Education at Atlanta University. He served in the Army states-side and observed one of the first US fax transmissions in the testing of this new communication technology.&nbsp;

He was less known for his conceptual futuristic thinking, but this was important to him, and he predicted trends that came true 20 or 30 years later. In the 1980’s he developed a new type of diesel engine oil filtration system and tested it on hundreds of Iowa school buses, proving that the oil never had to be changed and engine performance improved over time. For this work, he won best paper at the 1983 Society of Automotive Engineering conference. This summer he was trying to make his case to the Iowa Secretary of Agriculture for farming ideas that he believed would be needed as global climate change progresses.

Ed was very proud of his wife Jean and his kids Dave, Denise, and Pam and their spouses Robin, Dave, and Jay.&nbsp;He has four grandchildren Cary, Grant, Miranda, and Blake, and 6 great-grandchildren Austin, Hailey, Shannan, Mayah, Jase, and Mayla who called him Big Poppa, and an extended family who he enjoyed living across Gnahn street for many years.

Ed was preceded in death by his wife, brother Dan, sister Peg, his mother Dorothy, and his father Owen.&nbsp;

Our family loved him dearly even when he was grouchy or ranting about the world today. We will especially remember him for his love of giant sunflowers and all the good times fishing, boating, gardening, and building bonfires. We love you Dad, Grandpa, and Big Poppa.

The Graveside Committal Service for Mr. York will be 1 p.m. Monday, November 7, at Edwards Cemetery. Please join his family afterward at the Drake Restaurant in Burlington from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. for a time of food and fellowship.&nbsp;

A memorial has been established for the “Marion Edwin York Memorial”, where funds will be awarded annually to outstanding students. Checks or flowers can be sent to the Prugh Funeral Service, 3940 Division Street, Burlington IA 52601.

Prugh Funeral Service is in care of the arrangements.

Condolences can be sent to the family by visiting Marion's obituary at www.prughfuneral.com.

Maynard E. Hanel, 69, of Burlington, died peacefully in his home on Tuesday, October 18, 2022.

Born February 2, 1953, in Dickenson, North Dakota, he was the son of Jerry and Margaret Kovash Hanel. As a child, he moved to Livingston, Montana, graduated Park High School (class of ’71) with Beverly “Boopie” Craig (class of ’72), and the two married on June 8, 1974. Maynard worked for BNSF Railroad for 40+ years, until his retirement in February 2013.

Maynard was a simple man that always sported a white t-shirt with a soft pack of Marlboro Red cigarettes in the pocket, slicked-back hair, and a pair of Levi Jeans… A true “James Dean type” of the era. Even when donning a full-leg cast, you could either find him riding around on his motorcycle or driving around in his 1975 Oldsmobile 442.

Maynard was a steadfast son, a loyal brother, an occasionally reckless teenager, a devoted husband, an unconditionally loving father, an adoring grandfather, a true and loyal friend, and a relentless self-proclaimed life lesson prophet.

“You can’t win if you don’t play.”, “If you don’t eat, starve!”, “Money doesn’t grow on trees.”, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”, and “The way you make your bed is the way you sleep in it.” … If anyone that knew him turned the repetition of these life lessons into a drinking game, you too might be composing your own obituary.

He loved to fish and camp at Yellowstone River with his sons and brother during the family’s annual pilgrimage to Montana, have beers with friends, play Left, Right, Center with his sister, and farm the best “Hanel Spuds”. &nbsp;Even when providing was tough, he always provided.

He lived his life authentically and unapologetically. He instilled the valuable wisdom that people won’t always, and don’t need to, agree with you… If you disagreed with his gambling habits, chiminea usage, late-night enjoyment of fireworks with the kids, absurdly loud music (typically The Doors), or any other of his questionable life decisions, you likely found yourself on the receiving end of a middle finger. He taught his sons resilience and to always live the most authentic versions of themselves.

Survivors include his wife, Beverly Hanel of Burlington, Iowa, and four sons: Clinton Hanel of Burlington, Trevor Hanel (Surria) of Cedar Rapids, Ryan Hanel of Burlington, and Jared Hanel of Seattle, Wash.; one granddaughter: Skylie Hanel of Burlington, Iowa; two brothers: Alvin Hanel (Mickey) of Perkins, Okla. and Arne Hanel of Burlington; sister-in-law Kathie Hanel of Alamosa, Colo.; brother-in-law Gary Tecca of Burlington; and his many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Larry Hanel of Alamosa, Colo., sister Shirley Tecca of Burlington, brother Joseph Hanel, and sister Rita Hanel.

Following his wishes, there will not be a service, but well-wishers are encouraged to write a note of farewell on an Old Style, Corona, or your favorite beer case and drink it in his honor. You may then bring this message to the official celebration of life gathering, which will be held at a later date.

While he was baptized Catholic, he was never one for sentiment or religiosity, but he wanted you to know that if he owes you a beer, and if you can find him in Heaven, he will gladly allow you to buy him another.

According to his wishes, cremation has been accorded and entrusted to the care of Lunning Chapel.

Born March 19, 1939, in Shannon County, Missouri, he was the son of William “Bill” Rector and Ola Bland Rector.&nbsp; 

&nbsp;Darrell grew up on the Current River and got his education in one-room schoolhouses at Roger’s Creek in Carter County and Cardareva in Shannon County. One of Darrell’s first jobs was as a fishing guide on the Current River. That was a joy for him, to earn money doing what he loved. Darrell loved to fish and hunt, and gig with Allen, with Allen frying fish on the river bank. His hunting was by choice with Vernon “Rooster” at the Wilderness. One of his favorite things to do was to drive through Peck Ranch and see the elk and deer.&nbsp;

&nbsp;In 1961, Darrell met and married June Stout of Ellington, Missouri. To this union, four children were born, two sons and two daughters, Debbie, Matt, Pam, and Roger. Shortly after he married June, they moved to Iowa and he took a job with Silas, Mason, and Hanger, an ammunition plant, where he worked for 29 years. Then he moved back to his beloved Ozarks and Current River country.&nbsp;

&nbsp;Darrell was preceded in death by his parents, Bill and Ola Rector; two brothers, Glenn Rector and Allen Rector; and one sister, Gracie Fox. 

Survivors include his wife of 61 years, his children, Debbie Zimmerman of Marshfield, Mo., Matthew Rector, and Pam Rector both of Burlington, and Roger Rector of Winona, Mo.; six grandchildren, Jacob, Ashlyn, Austin, Courtny, Ian, and Dakota; and four great-grandchildren; five brothers, Charles (Cathy) Rector of Baxter Springs, Kan., Harold Rector of Ellsinore, Mo., Melvin (Naomi) Rector of Dyersburg, Tenn., Vernon of the Irish Wilderness, Mo., and Jerry (Donna) Rector of Teresita, Mo.; three sisters, Mary Manis and Margie Berry both of Winona, Mo., Lorene (Jim) Wright of Thomasville, Mo.; many nieces and nephews; and a host of cousins and friends, all of whom loved him very much.

&nbsp;Darrell’s passing will leave a void in the family that can never be filled. The family has lost a good man and an important part of the family. If you want to see Darrell again, you must ask God to forgive you and come into your heart.&nbsp;

&nbsp;Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. on Monday, October 17, 2022, at Yarber Mortuary, Winona, Mo., with Bro. Greg Richardson officiating. Visitation will be held prior to the service from 12:30-2 p.m. Interment will be in Mt. Zion Cemetery, Winona, Mo. Condolences may be expressed at www.yarbermortuary.com.
