Laurel F. Hoelscher, 76, of Burlington, died Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022, at Oak View Nursing and Rehabilitation.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was born February 16, 1946, in Macomb, Ill. to Herbert K. and Ruth E. Cavett Hoelscher. Both of his parents preceded him in death.

 Surviving to mourn his passing are 2 brothers: Leslie Hoelscher, Burlington, Steven Hoelscher, West Burlington, one sister in law: Barbara (Les) Hoelscher, and three nieces: Angela, Polly, and Shana.

 Laurel and his family lived in Colchester until they moved to Burlington around 1954. he was a 1965 graduate of Burlington High School. 

After graduation, he enlisted in the US Navy Reserve serving from 1965 through 1971. He was assigned to the USS Tripoli, 2 years active on the USS Henley DD 762 Destroyer, and finished his tour on the USS Grand Canyon. Laurel had also been stationed at Great Lakes, Norfolk, Va., and San Diego, Calif.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was a member of the Tin Can Sailers. 

Laurel was a polite soft-spoken man and a walking encyclopedia of rock and roll and classic movie facts. He loved assembling scale-model airplanes, ships, and cars and had a large collection of his favorites. After retiring from JI Case Company after 30 years, he enjoyed traveling the US to visit the places he had always wanted to see. Another passion of Laurel's was traveling the tri-state area to visit local carnivals, specifically to photograph the many rides being assembled and later disassembled and of course take time for a corndog and funnel cake in between. He was a NASCAR fan and enjoyed riding his 3-Wheeled bicycle through local area parks. I'll bet he's riding it in paradise right now.

Per Laurel’s wishes, there was a private family visitation and service. Military services were conducted by the Macomb V.F.W. and Macomb American Legion.&nbsp;&nbsp;Burial took place at Scotts Cemetery.&nbsp;&nbsp;Jones Mortuary in Colchester handled arrangements for the family. Condolences and memories can be expressed to the family at&nbsp;<a href="http://jonesmortuaryfh.com/" target="_blank">jonesmortuaryfh.com</a>.

Craig Ives Gilchrist, 86, of Burlington, Iowa, died on Dec. 17, 2022, at the Southeast Iowa Regional Hospice House in West Burlington.

Craig was born March 21, 1936, in Keosauqua, Iowa. He was the youngest of Gerald and Madeleine Manning Gilchrist’s three children. He was named for his maternal grandfather, Craig Ives Manning, the three-time mayor of Keosauqua.

His father Gerald died just a few days after Craig’s fifth birthday. Madeleine married Mark McCoy when Craig was ten years old, adding two stepbrothers and two stepsisters whom he thought of as his brothers and sisters.

Growing up in Keosauqua he loved to hunt, fish, and golf. He played third base for the baseball team and guard for the basketball team at Keosauqua High School. Because of his good outside shooting or poor eyesight (or a combination of the two) he earned the nickname “Deadeye.”

After graduating from Keosauqua High School in 1954, he spent one year studying at Northeast Missouri State (now Truman State) before setting off to San Diego with his friend (and later brother-in-law) Don Parish. While in San Diego he worked at the Convair airplane factory and got to travel up the road to watch the Iowa Hawkeyes win the 1957 Rose Bowl.

He returned to Iowa, served in the U.S. Army Reserves (and was honorably discharged), and began studying at the University of Iowa. He married Delores Sue Carruthers on Jan. 3, 1960, at the Christian Church in Keosauqua, Iowa. He graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in Business Administration in 1962.

After graduating, he accepted a job with the Wage and Hour Division of the United States Department of Labor, where he would work for his entire career. He was initially assigned to the Kansas City office. Just a few years later he transferred to Burlington, Iowa where he worked as a compliance officer for 35 years, making sure that employees throughout Southeast Iowa were paid at least minimum wage and time and a half for overtime. He was a primary investigator in a case that led to one of the largest awards of back wages in United States history in an investigation of Iowa Beef Processors.

Craig and Sue became parents to Bradley in 1963, Michael in 1968, and Joan in 1971. Despite, or maybe because of, losing his father at a very young age, he was a loving and active father. While the kids were growing up he always made time for playing catch, golfing, fishing, watching games, and going to piano recitals, and band and choir concerts. He loved to make the family popcorn on the stove and malts and milkshakes in the blender.

He has five grandchildren Lauren and Kyle Joniak, Lane Pruisner, and Alexandra and Camryn Gilchrist. He loved attending their sporting events and dance recitals.

He was a longtime active member of the First Presbyterian Church in Burlington, Iowa. He was a deacon and elder, served on many committees, and was a longtime member of the church bowling team. Many of his best and longest friendships were with members of the church.

He was a member of Kiwanis, where he chaired the golf league for several years and helped with the Kiwanis Travelogue and Santa Project.

In his spare time, he enjoyed golfing (he had a hole-in-one at Spirit Hollow Golf Course in Burlington), fishing (as evidenced by the two largemouth bass mounted and hanging in the game room), playing cards (especially cribbage and bridge), watching sports, gardening, working jigsaw puzzles, and going to his Friday morning coffee group. He was a lifelong Chicago Cubs and Iowa Hawkeyes fan. He went to many Iowa football and basketball games, including three Rose Bowls, and he lived long enough to see and enjoy the Cubs winning the World Series.

Craig was a fun-loving, witty guy who never met a stranger, made everyone feel welcome, and never spoke ill of anyone. He was a treasured friend, dad, husband, grandfather, and uncle and he will be greatly missed by all.

Craig is preceded in death by his parents Madeleine Manning McCoy and Gerald Gilchrist, his stepfather Mark McCoy, his brother James Gilchrist, his sister and brother-in-law Joyce Ann and David Jack, his stepbrother and sister-in-law David and Leonora McCoy, his stepsister Roberta Parish, his brother-in-law and sister-in-law Eugene and Charlotte Overstreet, his brother-in-law Darrell Carruthers, his niece Gina Jack, and his nephew Rollie Overstreet.

Craig is survived by his wife Delores Sue Carruthers Gilchrist of Burlington, his children Bradley Gilchrist (Aaron Burmeister) of Iowa City, Michael Gilchrist (Debra King) of Norwalk, and Joan Pruisner (Dwight) of Norwalk; five grandchildren: Lauren Joniak, Kyle Joniak, of Norwalk; Lane Pruisner of Ankeny; Alexandra Gilchrist, Camryn Gilchrist of Norwalk; his stepsister Barbara (Larry) Burkett of West Des Moines; his stepbrother Hugh (Rita) McCoy of Peoria, Arizona; brothers-in-law Don Parish of Colo; Dick Carruthers of Rancho Mirage, Calif.; Steve (Nedra) Carruthers of Lee’s Summit, Mo.; Fred (Korkee) Carruthers of Mediapolis; Dan (Paula) Carruthers of Santa Clarita, Calif.; and sisters-in-law Ann Gilchrist (Jack Uhlenhopp) of Hinsdale, Ill.; Deb Kirchner of Keosauqua; and Dixie Carruthers of San Diego, Calif.; and many nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be at Lunning Funeral Chapel in Burlington on Tuesday, Dec. 20 from 5 to 7 p.m. Funeral services will be held at the First Presbyterian Church in Burlington on Wednesday, Dec. 21 at 11 a.m. followed by a luncheon. Burial will be at Fellows Cemetery, Keosauqua. Memorials have been established for the First Presbyterian Church (organ restoration fund) or the Southeast Iowa Regional Hospice.

Bartley (Bart) Reynolds, 66, &nbsp;of Arlington, Va., died Dec. 11, 2022, at the age of 66. He was the life of the party, adored by all he met, treasured by his friends and family, a great storyteller, and an immensely loved father and husband.

Bart was born in Washington, DC and was a lifelong resident of Arlington, Va. He graduated from Yorktown High School and went on to attend Virginia Tech. He worked in the family business, Reynolds Brothers, building homes across Northern Virginia and spent the past 30 years working with his brother Chris as a realtor/broker at City and Suburban Homes.

Bart and his future wife, Leslie, met on a blind date in 1993, a match made by her manicurist who met Bart in a bar. Not one to be rushed, it took quite some time for Bart to propose. They married in 1998 in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and lived on Lake George, N.Y. after their honeymoon. He was in his mid-forties and she in her mid-thirties, they had their first son Zach, born in 1999. The family moved back to Arlington, Va. to settle down, and their son Will was born in 2001.

He loved watching his boys play sports and was always the most vocal fan at their games. Sadly, he and Leslie were escorted out of a second-grade basketball game by a referee for one particularly passionate outburst. There was nothing he loved more than spending time with his family including trips to the Outer Banks, New York City to watch the Knicks and the Yankees, weekends at Auburn, NFL games, Nationals’ games, gatherings in Upstate New York with extended family and get-togethers at his sister Sherry’s for special occasions.

Bart fell down the stairs in October 2021 and suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury. He spent months in hospitals and rehab facilities and there were moments, even days, of the old Bart. Sadly, those were not lasting, and he spent his final months at home in the care of his wife, sons, and home aides. He was so fortunate to have many good friends and family who were frequent visitors and were generous with both their time and their cooking skills.

Bart was predeceased by his parents, Walter and Sherry Reynolds of Arlington, and his infant brother Scott. He was also predeceased by his in-laws, Margaret and William Donohue. 

Left to cherish and treasure Bart’s memory are his wife, Leslie Reynolds, and his son Zachary of Arlington, Va., and his son Lance Corporal William Reynolds of Camp Lejeune, N.C. He is also survived by his sister Sherry (Christopher) Crittenden, his brother Richardson (Abby) Reynolds, his sister Tierney (Kenneth) Bates, his brother Christopher (Neide) Reynolds, all of Arlington, and his sister Valeen (Chip) Giannettino of Burlington. His brothers-in-law Jeffrey Donohue of Saratoga Springs, N.Y. and Keith (Kelly) Donohue of South Glens Falls, N.Y., along with many beloved nieces and nephews and extended family members.

A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 20 at 11 a.m. at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, 2609 North Glebe Road, Arlington, VA 22207 with the Rev. Andrew T.P. Merrow, Rector, officiating. Visitation will be from 10 – 10:45 a.m. in the chapel of the church.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Bart’s memory can be made to St. Mary’s Arlington or the Brain Injury Association of America.

Doretta Jean Watson, 88, of Deepwater, Mo. (formerly of the rural Mediapolis, Iowa area) passed away Dec. 11, 2022, at Southeast Iowa Regional Hospice House in West Burlington, Iowa.

Doretta was born Aug. 5, 1934, in Arlington, Neb. She was the firstborn child of Frank and Ethel Peterson.

Doretta was a graduate of Fremont High School, Fremont, Neb., and Nebraska Wesleyan University, Lincoln, Neb., where she majored in early childhood education.

On June 15, 1957, Doretta married Robert Russell Watson in Fremont. They relocated to Burlington, Iowa when Bob found employment at J.I. Case. She worked for the Social Security Administration in Burlington before beginning her career as a kindergarten teacher for the Mediapolis Community School District. She was an amazing teacher, enriching her students’ lives with excellent guidance and special activities.

Doretta and Bob lived in the Kingston area for many years where they provided a wonderful upbringing and created many happy memories for their three children. In the mid-1970’s they built their dream home in rural Mediapolis, doing much of the finishing work themselves.

At age 58, Doretta decided to continue her education. After receiving a master’s degree in Library Science from the University of Iowa, she worked as the media specialist/T.A.G. instructor for West Burlington Middle School.

Doretta continued her career after the sudden death of Bob in 1993. She retired from the education system in 1996.

In Doretta’s retirement, she enjoyed working around her home and spending lots of time with her adored grandchildren. After a lifelong passion for reading and writing, she authored a couple of children’s stories that appeared in print. “Christopher Robin, Who Are You” was published in an issue of Highlights magazine. “The Placing Agent” appeared in Cobblestone magazine, honoring placing agents who supervised orphan train riders on their journeys to new homes. Doretta’s “Daddy” came to Nebraska on an orphan train.

Doretta liked to drive and travel. She enjoyed several trips with her dear friend Kate. Together they went on an Alaskan cruise, drove to Florida, and spent time volunteering at a Navajo school in Arizona.

Doretta was a member of the Golden Hour Study Club of Mediapolis, where she enjoyed the camaraderie of friends and neighbors. She also volunteered for the Starr’s Cave Nature Center summer day camps while her grandchildren attended.

Wanting to downsize and spend more time with family, Doretta moved to Deepwater in 2011. Due to health issues, she and her beloved cat Tigger recently moved back to Burlington to live with her daughter Amy.

Doretta was a member of the Unitarian Fellowship in Burlington. Although she wasn’t able to attend in recent years, she still considered the fellowship her spiritual home.

Left to cherish her beautiful memory are her children: Amy Oetken, Burlington; Dan Watson (Carolyn), Clinton, Mo.; and Heidi Crabtree, Deepwater. Grandchildren: Brandon Oetken (Megan) and Aaron Oetken (Carol), both of Mediapolis; and Wesley Watson, Cottonwood, Ariz. Great-grandchildren: Grayson and Boyd Oetken. Sister Frances Prendergast of Peculiar, Mo.and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Bob, and sister Alice Boettcher of Fremont.

Memorial donations will be made to Southeast Iowa Regional Hospice House and the Clinton, Mo. animal shelter.

There will be no visitation. A celebration of life will be held in the spring.
