| Fortier, Estelle Violet (France) |
|

 Maryville, Tenn. - Estelle Violet (France) Fortier, 54, passed away on July 12, 2008, at Blount Memorial Hospital. She suffered a massive heart attack and nothing could save her.
She was born in Gardena, Calif., on Aug. 18, 1954, a daughter of Edward and Gladys (Norman) France. Her formative years were spent in California. In her teens, she married and subsequently gave birth to four children. That marriage ended in divorce and in the early 1980s she moved with her children to Mason City, Iowa. There she met and married David Fortier. In 1985 they moved to Wentworth, N.H., with her children, Eugene and Benjamin Christopher, and in 1998 moved to Maryville, Tenn.
She was employed at McDonald's in Lincoln and also attended the New Hampshire Technical Institute in Laconia graduating at the top of her class.
Estelle was a proud American Indian being half Cherokee on her mother's side of the family. She spent many years researching her Cherokee heritage and practiced many of their traditions.
She was an excellent cook and could also grow anything in any type of soil. The many flower gardens surrounding her home in Maryville could attest to her affinity with nature. She was an amateur bird watcher and was not satisfied with recognizing various kinds of birds but spent hours researching and studying them. She had a wicked sense of humor, took great pride in her home and loved animals, especially her dog, Ginger and her two cats Spaz and Abby Normal.
Since moving to Maryville her most recent employment had been at Maryville College. She had also worked for First Tennessee Bank in the Student Loan Department.
She was pre-deceased by her parents and several siblings.
She is survived by her husband David; her children, John, Jessica, Eugene and Benjamin Christopher; her in-laws, Gilles and Lee Fortier of Wentworth, N.H.; her brother-in-law, James Fortier and his wife, Janna Robinson, of Alexandria, N.H.; Estelle's siblings, Mary, Rose, Geraldine, Louella, Dennis, Larry and Terry of California; and several grandchildren.
There were no calling hours and a memorial service was held on July 19 in Maryville. Cremation was handled by the Miller Funeral Home of Maryville with interment of her ashes to be held at the convenience of the family.
Anyone wishing to remember Estelle may donate to their local animal shelter or to any center for battered women. She is finally at peace. Soar with the eagles, Stell.

Following a funeral luncheon, graveside services will be held at 2:30 p.m. at Lakeview Gardens in Okoboji. While you are there, enjoy the scenery that John enjoyed so much.
John's request is that everyone attending his funeral please come dressed casual and be himself or herself. Ties and suits don't fit the outdoors type of personality that he had.
Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. today at the Fullerton Funeral Home, 123 Second St. S.E., Mason City. The family invites all to a parish rosary at 5:30 p.m. and wake services at 6 p.m. Please bring your favorite stories.
Those planning an expression of sympathy may wish to consider memorials to Hospice of North Iowa or Newman Catholic High School. If you wish to send condolences, stories or thought to the family you may do so through the funeral home Web site at www.Fullertonfh.com
John Edward Ewen was the first-born son of Edward Earl and Catherine Eileen (Conway) Ewen, born March 29, 1947, in Mason City. He attended school through 11th grade at Dougherty Catholic School and then graduated from Sheffield High School in 1965.
He was married to Vicki Marchand at Holy Family in 1967. For the past several years he has "Pardnered" with Susan Miller.
For 35 years, he was the manager of Earl May in Mason City until its closing. During the 1989-90 year, he was named Manager of the Year for Earl May. He then was associated with Les Nelson Investments.
John enjoyed all types of woodworking, traveling to the Bahamas and Alexandria, Minn., for fishing and wanted so much to fulfill a dream of going fishing with Susan to Canada. He enjoyed hunting rabbits and pheasants.
John missed very few episodes of "M*A*S*H" and "This Old House" and relished watching them many times. When he was young, Uncle Eddie bought him his first tackle box when John was confirmed in the church and Uncle Bernhard taught John how to drive a straight stick and farm. John never got gardening out of his system and always planted beautiful flowers to enjoy and vegetables for canning.

TUCSON, Ariz. - Darrel E. Goll, 72, of Tucson, Ariz. (formerly of Garner, Iowa) died suddenly on July 21, 2008, in Tucson, Ariz.
Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 1, 2008 at Peace Reformed Church, south of Garner, with the Rev. Harvey 0pp officiating. Burial will be at the Peace Reformed Cemetery.
Darrel Eugene Goll, the son of Leon and Marie (Nonnweiler) Goll, was born April 19, 1936, in Garner. Darrel graduated as salutatorian of the class of 1953 from Garner.
He obtained his B.S. degree in 1957 and his M.A. in 1959 both in animal science from Iowa State University; his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1962. He took his first job at Iowa State, becoming a full professor at age 31.
Darrel and his first wife, Rosalie Bullock Goll, were married in Boone on Jan. 11, 1958. He and Rosalie raised their three children, Laury, Jeff and Kathy in Ames. The family relocated to Tucson, Ariz., in 1976. In Tucson, he built and directed the Department of Nutrition and Food Science, as well as the departments of Animal Science and Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics for the University of Arizona.
His postdoctoral fellowship work was completed at UCLA. As a research professor at both Oxford University in England and later at the University at Heidelberg, Germany, he made scientific strides in the advancement of protein biochemistry. He and other researchers were successful in determining the identification of the calpain system and its effect on muscle tissue. The impact of this discovery has generated research not only in the meat industry, but also in the areas of muscular dystrophy, heart disease, and Alzheimer's.
Darrel was also passionate about teaching and mentoring as well as recruiting students; a passion shared by his second wife, Maria Teresa Velez, Associate Dean of Admissions at ASU.
He is survived by his wife, Maria Teresa Velez, of Tucson; daughter, Laury (Gary) Emerson, of Tucson and their children, Hannah and Ellie; son, Jeff (Tina), Phoenix, and their children, Elesha and Shane; daughter, Kathy (Man) Derstine, Los Gatos, Calif.; stepdaughter, Mariel Velez Toriello (Nick), of San Francisco, Calif.; stepson, Damien Velez, of Tucson; a brother, Chuck (Kathy) Goll, of Garner; a sister, Marcia (Kay) Greany, of Des Moines; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
