 Abbott, Ernest Abbott “Ernie”

          Source: Monroe County Beacon, Woodsfield, Ohio May 14, 2014

          On May 3, 2014, Ernie Abbott went to heaven to visit long-gone family and friends.  Ernie left behind a loving family: a beautiful wife of 67 years, Annie Fay; three daughters, Loretta Faye, Pamela Maye, and Patsy Ann; and one son, Ernest Samuel Abbott; 11 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

           Ernie was born in Sterns County, Kentucky in 1921, a son of Myrtle King and William Harrison Abbott. He had six brothers and 5 sisters. Ernie was an Army Veteran serving in WWII, after which he settled in Monroe County to start a family. He retired after 40 years of service as a coal miner.

           Ernie was a family man first and foremost, and continually proved his love for his wife. Ernie excelled in baseball so much that he turned down several opportunities to play professionally. He turned his talent into coaching little league and playing in minor leagues.

          He loved country and bluegrass music. He played guitar, banjo and mandolin, and he sang at Wheeling Jamboree. At one time, he and Annie took into their home David Allen Coe, “Tee Coe”. Ernie and Annie convinced Tee Coe to move to Nashville where he became well-known in country music. Ernie loved his music so much and never tired of learning new songs and how to play them better.

           Ernie was an extraordinary man and was the last of a dying breed who knew the true meaning of chivalry. He touched the lives of all who knew him and will be sorely missed by all his family and friends.

          *A note from a friend: A baseball player of the first degree could have made this game a career. But, he opted instead to hold tight to his love, his wife who he cherished so dear. He worked in the mines for so many years ‘til he headed to Florida to stay. The climate was good and treated him well and he loves that state still today. It hurt a lot when they moved away, but of course, we still kept in touch. I saw him in February and said my goodbyes, he knew that I loved him so much. I lived with them when I was young and Annie still loves to say how when I moved in, I ran right past her, grabbed Ernie, said “I’m here to stay.” When a package of cigarettes he saw in my jeans said, “Do you really need those? They make you look ugly” and in a basket they went. He saved my life, I suppose. I could go on and on with my memories of him, but I guess you know how I feel. I’ll just plug the hole he left in my heart and pray for the family to heal. A forever friend, Dorothy Ricer.

Early the morning of June 26, she lost her long and terrible battle with diabetes and heart disease. Her family was present and able to express their love and final good byes before she quietly left us. Bev was joy and love incarnate. Fun to be with and never complained even as her health was failing. For many years she worked in mental health and later as a social worker for the State of Washington.

Burgh, Colleen Burgh

Source:  The Alaska Dispatch News [Anchorage, Alaska]; Feb. 6 to Feb. 7, 2014

        Life-long Alaskan Colleen Burgh died peacefully in her sleep at her Anchorage home surrounded by family on February 2, 2014 after a 17 month battle with cancer. She was 57.

        Colleen, the daughter of Rodney and Sheila Burgh (who preceded her in death), was born in Ketchikan back in Territorial days on March 12, 1956. The family moved to Anchorage in 1960 and she remembered well riding out the 1964 earthquake in their home in Turnagain. Ballet was a big attraction to young Colleen until she convinced her father that she was ready for her first horse, Irish Mist, beginning a life-long love affair with horses. She and her friends would ride through what is now Earthquake Park for hours.

        Graduating from West High School in 1974, she was student body president and senior prom queen. Her involvement in the school choir led to a year with Up With People before heading to Washington State University intent on becoming a veterinarian. But a class on sustainable foods changed her life. She became a vegetarian (not a veterinarian) and decided on a career to make the planet a cleaner and safer place. That desire took her to the University of Oregon where she graduated with a degree in Biology and met Jim Stratto' Stratton, who eventually became her husband.

        Colleen scored her first job with the Department of Environmental Conservation in Juneau in 1981 and quickly acquired a reputation for being the Department's conscience. DEC transferred her to Anchorage in 1984 where she could be closer to her family and where the weather is better for horses. Her experience cleaning up oil spills in Southeast landed her in the middle of the Exxon Valdez prioritizing beach clean-up in the initial response and serving two years as the Deputy On-Scene Coordinator, essentially directing the day-to-day clean-up through 1991.

        She got her next horse, Irish Rose, in 1989 and had horses in her backyard paddock until earlier this year. Most recently Casey, a large Irish Sport Horse she bought in Ireland, was her equine partner. Colleen volunteered both her and Casey's time with Rainbow Connection, the therapeutic horse riding program for people with special needs. She was so proud when Casey was named Therapeutic Horse of the Year in 2013.Casey continues to serve as a therapeutic horse at Swiftsure Ranch in Idaho.

        Ireland played a huge part in Colleen's life. Her mother emigrated from County Cork and Colleen traveled with family back to Ireland many times, visiting relatives, taking every opportunity to ride horses in the Irish countryside and relishing pints of Guinness.

        Her professional career took Colleen to work for CH2M Hill in 1991, where she coordinated clean-ups of military sites around the state. A return to state employment with the natural gas pipeline office during the Knowles Administration and time with EPA in 2003 led her to work for BP in the Health, Safety and Environment section.

        In addition to her love of animals - her four-legged companions included golden retrievers and cats - she and Stratto loved to travel and explore the world. They have spent months paddling around Southeast Alaska and hiking through the Brooks Range. A desire to see wild tigers took them to India and the cats of Africa took them to that continent numerous times. She swam with turtles in the Galapagos, trekked through the ruins of Angkor Wat, rode horses at the great pyramids and hiked her way into Machu Picchu. Her last big adventure was taking the train across Canada from Vancouver to Halifax last summer.

        Colleen never fully realized the number of lives she touched. Her humor, warm heart and generosity will be missed by her family, colleagues and countless friends. She is survived by her husband, Stratto; her siblings, Don Burgh, Bill Burgh and Patti Eachon, their spouses; and 15 nieces and nephews.

        Gifts in memory can be made to Alaska Equine Rescue (www.alaskaequinerescue.com) or to the Colleen Burgh Fund for Science and the Law at Trustees for Alaska (www.trustees.org), where she served as a Board Member.

        An Irish Wake will be held on Sunday, followed by a Funeral Mass on Monday, February 10, at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Muldoon at 1 p.m.

In her Bible were many underlined scriptures referencing “love and giving of oneself to those in need.” Her deep unconditional love and patience for family and others she cared for will be sadly missed. She left an impression with everyone she met that they were loved, they mattered, and they were appreciated. Always the encourager, her twinkling blue eyes, warm smile, her laugh, always quick with a joke to make others laugh, her love of music and dancing, her knack for making people feel good, important, and welcomed, will live in our memories. She helped organize many events, variety shows, and activities for the young and old alike, in Woodsfield and New Matamoras. She was a long-time, proud E-Squad technician, a 20 yr. resident manager of a senior citizens complex where she lovingly referred to the residents as her “big kids”, and also a member of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary. With friends, she helped start the girls’ softball league in Woodsfield and diligently worked on the St Jude’s bike-a-thon and July 4th festival in New Mat.

          She most certainly heard, “Well done my good and faithful servant”.

          Friends were received April 27, at the Bauer-Turner Funeral Home, Woodsfield where funeral services were held April 28, with Pastor William David Hyde officiating. Burial followed at the New Matamoras Cemetery.

        As a young woman she enjoyed hunting and fishing and always loved the outdoors as well as animals of all kinds, which more often than not she treated as people.

         Violet was always quick to offer help to any that needed it. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother and a good friend to all who knew her. She will be sorely missed until we all meet again on the other side.

         Funeral services will be held 10:30 am Thursday the 29th at McClure-Schafer-Lankford Funeral Home with visitation beginning 2:00 pm Wednesday with the family present from 2pm to 4pm and 6pm to 8pm.  Messages of sympathy may be sent at www.Lankfordfh.com.

Dye, Nancy Louise Dye

          Source: Monroe County Beacon, Woodsfield, Ohio February 19, 2014

          Nancy Louise Dye was born July 30, 1949, and departed this life February 11, 2014, at the age of 64. She was the daughter of Bertha (Hensel) and Thomas Dye, Sr.

          Nancy loved and received love from many people. She had a special bond with her mom and now renews that bond in heaven.

          Even though she was born with several problems and was not able to do several things, she still perservered and enjoyed life. Her spunk helped her through her trials and she had many. Nancy was very strong-willed and definitely got her point across. Many doctors had told the family that Nancy had little brain activity and no thought process. Anyone who knew her knows that was not true. She liked to help out by setting the table, washing and drying dishes. She decided that doing that was her responsibility and did not want anyone else doing them. She would wait until they were done, take them out of the cupboard and do them over.

          She had a great sense of humor and contagious laugh. Nancy was an inspiration and blessing to all who knew her. Her trials have come to an end and she will be reunited with family and friends who have gone to heaven before her.

          Nancy was preceded in death by her parents, Bertha Mae (Hensel) and her step-father Francis Merle Cline.

          She is survived by two brothers, Thomas Dye Jr. (Debbie) of Trail Run and Loren E. Cline (Kay) of Ashland; two sisters, Linda S. McBride of Ashland and Teresa J. Cline of New Matamoras who lovingly cared for her many years; several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews.

          Family received friends February 13. Funeral services were held February 14 at Hadley Funeral Home, Matamoras Chapel, with Rev. James Smith and Rev. Ron Weber officiating.

          Burial was held in the Unity Cememtery.
