She passed away in Belmond from her short battle with cancer with her family and friends singing and praying her to the Pearly Gates. Funeral services for Janet M. Lich will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday, September 9, 2013, at the United Methodist Church in Belmond. Pastor Patrick Kennedy of the Evangelical Free Church in Belmond will officiate.

Lich will be held from 3 until 6 p.m. today, Sunday, September 8, 2013, at the Dugger Funeral Home, 111 Luick’s Lane South in Belmond, and will continue one hour prior to services at the church on Monday. Janet Marie (Hanson) Lich was born November 14, 1960, in Belmond, to Merlin and Florence (Bates) Hanson. She lived in the Goodell area for her formative years with her older brother, Duane. She attended school in Goodell and graduated from Belmond High School in 1979. After graduation, Janet worked many different types of jobs in and around the Belmond area. While working in Garner, Janet was introduced by a co-worker to Randy Lich and later his daughter, Chastity, who she loved as her own flesh and blood. Janet and Randy were united in marriage on February 14, 1982, at the Goodell Methodist Church. They made their home in Dows for a short time before moving to the family farm in Goodell. While living in Goodell, they welcomed a daughter, Christina (Tina) and later lived in Lovillia in Southern Iowa for two years. They later moved back to the family farm until a house fire took their home in 1991, then moved to Belmond in 1993, where she made her home until her passing. While in Goodell, Janet began working for Amicare as a home health aide. She took care of many people throughout Northern Iowa as well as a few people in her own home, namely a family friend dying of cancer and her mother who passed of cancer also. While in Belmond taking care of family, Randy and Janet’s prayers of being blessed with another child became a reality, as Austin was born. During the time of her children’s growing up she worked at many different jobs in Belmond, including True Value, P&G in the meat department, Accents on Main, and day care in her home. One job that she loved significantly was being a Creative Memories consultant for many years. She highly valued keeping lasting memories for the next generation and she held many events making many new friends along the way. Janet was also very involved in many organizations and community service projects. She was a 40-year member of the Goodell American Legion Auxiliary, serving in many different capacities (unit president, county president and various chair positions) and functions (Watermelon Days, Halloween night and sending off packages to troops) and most recently finished her second term as the Eighth District president in July. She belonged to the Belmond VFW Auxiliary for many years. She was a Boy Scout leader and always a faithful supporter of Boy Scout and Cub Scout events. She was a long-time member of BCSW and enjoyed working the Power Show and running the 4th of July cake walk. One of Janet’s favorite things was volunteering at her church. Janet faithfully accepted the Lord in 1981. Since that time, she spent her life trying to be molded and shaped into the person God wanted her to be. Because of her love for the Lord and her willingness to serve her church family at the Evangelical Free Church, she was involved as a Sunday school teacher for many years, was church secretary for a time as well, but the apple of her eye was working with her husband in starting the B.A.F.Y. (Belmond Area Free Youth) Program and leading it for 13 years. Every youth that came was special to her. She always tried to pray for and keep in touch with as many youth as she could. Janet is survived by her husband, Randy; children, Chastity of Terra Haute, Indiana, Christina “Tina” and husband, Jason, of Belmond, Austin at home; two grandchildren: Roger Simpson Jr. and Kody Simpson; brother, Duane Hanson and wife, Jean of Goodell; beloved nephews, Ben Hanson and wife, Danielle, and their children, Barrin Hanson, and his children, Barrick Hanson and his wife, Christina; and numerous other relatives and friends.

Bill Cooling
Bill Cooling died at his home on Saturday, August 31, 2013, following a lengthy illness. He was born August 11, 1938, in Dougherty, Iowa, the son of Aileen Rose (Coyle) Cooling and Francis William Cooling. Bill’s childhood was spent in the Cartersville and Dougherty areas where his father farmed. Following graduation from Rockford High School in Rockford, Iowa, Bill continued to live in Iowa assisting his father with the family farm and doing some farming on his own. In 1962 he was drafted into the Army doing his military service at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Colorado mountains were not “love at first sight” for Bill — they blocked his view! On June 26, 1965, Bill married Pearl Cardenas at St. Mary Catholic Church in Colorado Springs. The couple made their home in Colorado living in Colorado Springs, Wheat Ridge, and then moving to Montrose in 1976. For 20 years Bill along with his brother, Don, were owners/founders of Cooling’s Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. Upon purchasing the business from Jim Newberry, Bill learned the basics of sheet metal fabrication from Jim. Since then to his retirement in 2007, Bill bent and pounded all sorts of metal into many different shapes for many different uses. During this time, he met and worked with many fine people. He was always up to the challenge of bending metal to meet their needs. He thought, “if they can dream it up, I can fabricate it.” Bill enjoyed sports from coaching his daughters’ teams, to being a spectator. Camping and traveling were some of his other interests. Surviving family members are his wife, Pearl; his daughters, Nicole Cooling and Rebecca (Michael) Romero of Montrose. His beloved grandchildren are: Jamaica and Asia Barrientos, Mia and Izabella Romero, Essa and Michael Romero.
