Debra Kay Lange
Debra Kay (Kuhn) Lange, age 54 of Addieville, IL passed away on Wednesday, May 18, 2022 at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN of complications following her heart and liver transplant.
She was born in Lincoln, NE on August 17 th , 1967, the daughter of Don and Mary (Langemeier) Kuhn. The abnormalities that affected the way her heart pumped did not change her ability to love the many family members, friends and students she impacted in her 50 plus years on earth.
Deb grew up in Lincoln, NE and attended Zeman Elementary, Pound Middle School and Lincoln Southeast High School. She furthered her education at Concordia Lutheran Teachers College in Seward, NE and the University of Nebraska where received her teaching degree. Upon graduation, she moved to Nashville, IL and began teaching at Trinity St. John Lutheran School. It was there that she met the love of her life, Terry Lange. They married on February 11th, 1995 and settled in Addieville, IL.
With three sisters and two brothers, Deb grew up in a busy household with plenty of chores and gardening duties. She participated in 4-H and loved to ride horses. Her love for animals continued as she cared for many dogs and cats during her time in Illinois.
Deb created strong bonds with many young people. Though her heart condition prevented her from having children, she had many nieces, nephews, and children of friends whom she loved as if they were her own, serving as godmother to many. Summer stays at the house with her and Terry were cherished times. Always showing her love and support, Deb would often be there to cheer on you and your team.
During her long career of almost 30 years at Trinity St. John Lutheran School, she taught and mentored hundreds of students, sometimes even teaching the children of former students. When Covid kept her from classroom participation, she served as the school yearbook advisor and technology coordinator.
Deb was a bright light to everyone she met, even when her medical conditions would have been overwhelming to most. She was a courageous fighter and an advocate for herself and others. She valued and treasured her family and friends and throughout her life made great efforts to assure that those connections did not fade. She loved playing cards and was always ready to start a card game either in person or online. She will be greatly missed.
Deb was an ongoing advocate for the Adult Congenital Heart Association and participated in many events and fundraisers for the group. She also had a great love and connection with her “Zipper Sisters” who could really relate to her condition. Deb dedicated a great amount of time to bringing awareness to congenital heart disease and organ and tissue donation.
Deb is preceded in death by her sister, Renee Kuhn, her father-in-law and mother-in-law Harlen and Wilma Lange.

Daniel Michael Paszkiewicz
Daniel Michael Paszkiewicz started bringing laughter into this world on January 21, 1930, in Posen, IL. He told his last joke on April 13, 2022 at Mercy South in St. Louis, MO.
He was the third child of Frank and Veronica (Pierjok) Paszkiewicz. After serving in the US Army during the Korean Conflict, he returned to Posen, never to eat oatmeal again. Dan married the love of his life, Josephine Dolores Pinski, on April 30th , 1955. Dan and Jo spent the next 67 years spreading their love through family, polka dancing, and
endless (and often repeated) stories.
Dan had immense pride in their three sons: Jerome (Cindy Markus) Paszkiewicz, Kenneth (Peggy) Paszkiewicz, and Steven (JoLynn) Paszkiewicz. He adored his eight granddaughters: Courtney (Christopher) Greenup, Marissa (Patrick) Strietz, Rebecca (Daniel) Kennedy, Claire (Bradley) Galli, Samantha (Christopher) Hicks, Amanda (Daniel Conn) Paszkiewicz, Melinda (Zachary) Minton, and Kathryn (Steven Rein) Paszkiewicz.
However, it was the next generation, who called him Dziadzia, that
were the tiny loves of his life, his great grandchildren: Grayden and Avery Greenup; Josa Kennedy; Matthew and Emma Galli; Colton, Lucas, and Andrew Hicks; and Eleanor Minton.
After moving to St. Louis following their wedding, Dan was employed at Marlo Coil as a sheet metal assembler before retiring from Monsanto as a chemical plant operator. But knowing him after retirement, he was never known to be without a lawnmower to fix, a garden to tend to, or a fish to catch. Dan took great pride in his Polish heritage and in his memberships in the St. Louis Metro Polka Club and the Polish American War Veterans (PAWV) Club, where he was a retired member of the honor guard.
In addition to his cherished wife, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, he is survived by his sister Florence (Bernard) Sherman, sister-in-law Virginia Bonk, many nieces and nephews, and step- grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; siblings: Alois, Anna (Edmund) Smugala, Esther (Eugene) Kania, and Leonard; and brother-in-law Eugene Pinski.
An active member of Seven Holy Founders Catholic Church in Afton, MO, Dan is sure to be smiling down on all of us, holding his prayer cards, and telling his favorite joke to all the friends surrounding him. At least one of them hasn’t heard it yet.
Condolences may be extended in-person to Josephine and the family at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Posen, IL on Saturday, April 23, 2022 starting at 9:00 am before 11:00 am mass.
Please join the family for a luncheon following the burial to share stories and jokes.

Henry William Windler
Henry William Windler, of New Minden, Illinois, entered the arms of his Heavenly Father on April 1, 2022 at St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, IL.
Henry was born on April 29, 1942 in Centralia, IL to his parents Alvin and Frances (Hanke) Windler. He was united in marriage to Linda Spenner, daughter of Theodore and Julia (Kleiboker) Spenner on January 25, 1964 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Hoyleton, IL. He was of the Lutheran faith, and a member of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church of Covington, Illinois. He was a dedicated, lifelong farmer of Washington County.
He gave himself to family, friends, farming, and God, serving all of them with a faithful resolve and a relentless commitment to strengthening the bonds of fellowship and kindness that brought all those that knew him and loved him closer together. His love of laughter and his wit was overshadowed only by the space he made available in his heart for all those misfits he and his wife welcomed into their home. Henry was strong and steady, whose hugs pulled you out of your shoes and showed you that you were truly loved. He was defined by a quiet concern that could be found watching over spaces of laughter, celebration, conversation, and worship.
His two grandchildren were his best friends. He worked the land and pulled us all out of the dirt without ever having to ask him to do it. We will miss the sound of his cowboy boots on our floors and his presence in all our lives. Like the spaghetti western star The Rifleman that so many said he resembled, Henry fought for what he believed in through every act of kindness he showed, and was proud of the chosen family he welcomed, with a smile, that fulfilled him in his very blessed life.
He was preceded in death by his parents Alvin and Frances, his brother Alvin Jr. in infancy, his eldest son Johnathan Lloyd, his brothers in law Lloyd, Earl, and Alvin Spenner, his sister in law Marilyn Spenner, and his mother and father in law.
If individuals so wish, memorials can be made to St. Luke’s of Covington concrete fund, or St. John’s of New Minden “God’s Garden”.
Visitation and services will be held at St. Johns Lutheran, New Minden.

She spent her entire life as a home maker and was known for her fresh homemade bread, cookies, remarkably flaky pie crusts, sewing, candle-making, and volunteering. Her greatest wish was to help somebody else! She spent years reading to the Catholic 1-2 graders and always closed her time with them by telling them, “I love you”. These words followed her into the Nursing Home and were offered to every staffer who came in to care for her, as well as any and all visitors. She loved company and was a Hostess to the end (saving Ritz crackers from the daily Snack Cart so she had something to ’share’ with her visitors.) She joined her pork producing husband and promoted pork at every opportunity.

She and Bob enjoyed traveling together. A poster from their tram ride up Mt. Pilatus (in Spain) hung in her room and started many conversations. They visited Hawaii many times, as well as the Caribbean and Singapore.
Beloved Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great-grandmother, Aunt, Neighbor, Encourager, and Friend, Helen left the world a better place because she was humble and forgiving. She loved Jesus and couldn’t wait to join Him. Her wish has been granted.
