Claus Rush Pixley
Northwood - Claus Rush Pixley, 94,
passed away of natural causes on
Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012, at The Breakers
of Long Beach, Long Beach, Calif.
A graveside service for Mr. Pixley will
be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 7,
at the Sunset Rest Cemetery in
Northwood, with Pastor Stephen Wolfe of
the Northwood Baptist Church
officiating.
Conner Colonial Chapel, 1008 First Ave.
South, Northwood, is in charge of the
arrangements.
Claus Pixley was born April 27, 1918,
son of Herbert and Effie (McQuatters)
Pixley, in Northwood. Claus was a
graduate of Northwood-Kensett High
School. He loved music and participated
in band during his school years. The N-K
band trip to Cleveland in 1939 was his
best memory of his school days. Claus
honored this memory with a donation of
$40,000 to the N-K Music Department in
2005.
He was very proud of how he earned this
"extra money." He bought stock in the
Hilton Hotel in the 1940s; he worked in
the Sky Room for many years. The hotel
was converted to assisted living, now
known as The Breakers of Long Beach.
When Claus moved there in September
2012, he said he was back home.
Claus loved to dance, travel and gamble.
Claus traveled to Hawaii often and
stayed several months at a time. Claus
loved Las Vegas and Reno and made many
trips there. His last trip was earlier
this year.
Claus opened Claus' Men's Clothing Store
in Long Beach and ran it through the
1960s. My sole visit to Claus was in
2008.
He participated in an annual gathering
of Iowa transplants each summer in Long
Beach. Claus always sent his annual
Christmas greeting-always a Santa Claus
card, that he never failed to send to
family in Iowa.
Claus will make his final trip back home
to be laid to rest beside his parents in
Sunset Cemetery, Northwood. Our family
would like to recognize and thank his
good friend, Jesse Brooks, for his care
of Claus these last few weeks and for
bringing Claus home to rest.
Claus was preceded in death by his
parents, brother, Clayton Garr Pixley
and his wife Cora, first cousins Linn,
Gladys, Glenn and Beva Pixley, second
cousins John, Lillian, Bob and Verna
Pixley and many family and friends.

Wanda Ann Carlson Schnebly
 Forest
City - Schnebly, Wanda Ann Carlson, 75,
1937 - 2012.
A "Celebration of Life" memorial service
for Wanda Schnebly will be held at the
United Methodist Church in Forest City,
on Nov. 10, 2012, at 1 p.m.
Burial will follow at Forest Home
Cemetery in Leland. Following the
burial, a reception will be held at the
United Methodist Church.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that
donations be made to Forest City United
Methodist Church or to Mosaic in North
Iowa (formerly Krysilis, Inc).
Wanda Schnebly was born on Sept. 13,
1937, in Forest City, Iowa, and she
passed away on Oct. 14, in Yorba Linda,
Calif., due to complications from
multiple myeloma cancer.
Wanda was preceded in death by her
youngest son, Kelly Leigh Schnebly;
former husband Orvin Henry Schnebly,
father, Dean Edward Carlson; mother,
Stella Mae Carlson Irish, sister Kathryn
"Kate" Carlson Kirschbaum; brothers
Jerry Carlson and Douglas Carlson.
She is survived by her younger sister
Carolyn Carlson Cox; sons Kirby Layne
Schnebly and Kyle Lynne Schnebly;
daughter, Kerry LeAnn Schnebly; three
grandchildren, Kelly Leigh Schnebly,
Brandon Layne Schnebly and Brittany
Marie Schnebly; their mother Rachael
Schnebly; and her very special companion
in life for the past eight years Jack
Scarpa, and numerous other relatives and
friends.
Wanda grew up in Leland, Iowa, and
graduated from Forest City High School.
In August of 1955, Wanda married Orvin
Schnebly and they had four children,
Kirby, Kerry, Kyle and Kelly. While
living in Iowa, Wanda was an active
member of the United Methodist Church in
Forest City, and when living in Orange
County, Calif., with the United
Methodist Church in Placentia, Calif. On
June 8, 1964, Wanda and Orvin's son
Kelly Leigh Schnebly was born. Following
his birth, Kelly suffered irreparable
brain damage due to medical malpractice
that left him profoundly retarded and
physically impaired. Kelly died on April
14, 1984, at age 19. Wanda and Orvin
turned this tragedy into a blessing for
many others with similar impairments. In
1968, with son Kelly and three other
handicapped children, a day care center
was started in their home. The "WEE ARC
CENTER" evolved from their family room
into the many facilities now operating
under the name Mosaic in North Iowa,
formerly Krysilis, Inc., formerly
"Winnebago Handicapped Services" and
"North Central Human Services." Today,
Mosaic in North Iowa is the second
largest employer in Forest City, and
serves the needs of many disabled
children and adults throughout North
Iowa. Three of the homes built in Forest
City after Kelly's death are located on
Kelly's Court, a street named as a
tribute to Kelly Schnebly. Wanda and
Orvin were also founding members of
Handicap Village in Clear Lake, Iowa,
now known as Opportunity Village. Wanda
was recognized for her work for persons
with disabilities by the Winnebago and
Iowa Associations for Retarded Children,
the Iowa Council of Developmental
Disabilities, United Cerebral Palsy of
Iowa, Handicap Village and by Winnebago
Handicapped Services, (a.k.a. Mosaic in
North Iowa, Krysilis, Inc., and North
Central Human Services). She was the
founder and first Executive Director of
Winnebago Handicapped Services. She was
named to the 1977-78 Who's Who of
American Women. In 1978, Wanda and Orvin
moved to Ames, where they owned and
operated the Singer Sewing Center.
In 1980, Wanda moved to California and
worked for Weight Watchers for many
years. Wanda's book "A Ticket To He" was
published in June 2010. "A Ticket To He"
is the true story of how Wanda Schnebly
and her family's lives were thrust into
turmoil and grief because of medical
malpractice and what they did to survive
and find joy again. It details the
medical fiasco that destroyed Kelly
Schnebly's life and the resulting
historic malpractice lawsuit, the
largest judgment in the U.S. to a minor
at the time and how Kelly's spirit broke
through his profound handicaps and
touched the lives of so many others.
Kelly has a legacy few others achieve,
as does Wanda. Her work and
accomplishments, her writings, her
kindness, care and love have given hope
and inspiration to many.
After living such a diverse and blessed
life, Wanda died peacefully on Oct. 14,
under hospice care at her home in Yorba
Linda, Calif., with all of her immediate
family members present.
May God Bless Wanda Schnebly eternally!
She was a blessing to all.

On October 2, 1960, Bob was united in
marriage with his high school
sweetheart, Patricia Gibson at Bristow.

the country. He worked as a mechanic for
Andrews Pre-Stressed Concrete, then

IMT in Garner, retiring after 30 years.
One of his favorite things was running
large equipment, and he was known to be

repair and enjoyed the challenges. He
was an active supporter of 4-H,
assisting Pat as a leader for 35 years.
He also ran the Wayne Junker Memorial
Tennis Camp in Meservey for many years.
Getting together with family for
vacations was important to Bob and he

of past travels to entertain and inform.

each week and visit with friends and
travel to meet friends.

games. Family and friends, however, were
her passion. Time spent in Hayward,

Described as a "sweet, gentle woman" and
a "courageous individual," she lived up
to that reputation until the very end

Eldora received the Outstanding
Elementary Teacher Award in 1975. She
was quoted saying at her retirement,
"Teaching has never seemed like a job to
me - it has always been something I have
enjoyed. It is so rewarding to see
children grow in learning."
Eldora co-founded a neighborhood group
called KYN (Know Your Neighbor). She was
an active member of Grant Lutheran
Church in rural Woden, serving in roles
such as Church Council Treasurer, WELCA
President, Deacon, Secretary/Treasurer
of her circle, and Sunday School

the Sons of Norway for her 30 years in
that organization. Donald and Eldora
loved to travel in their motor home and
spent several winters with Donald's
siblings in Arizona. They also traveled
several times to Norway to visit family

Library, and was a life member of
Vesterheim. She was a member of Glenwood
Lutheran Church where she was active in
circle. In June of 2012, she moved to

into its nursing home.
Special thanks goes to Dr. Dougan and

health battles, to the staff and
residents of Aase Haugen's Vennehjem,
Assisted Living, and Nursing Home, who
cared for this family in a multiple of
ways, and to the Winneshiek County
Hospice who provided support and
education. Her daughters are so
appreciative of their efforts!
Eldora was preceded in death by her
parents, Joseph and Elma Christianson,
her husband, Donald, brother, Richard,
and nephew David. May they all be
together once again!
