Obituary: Bloomington - Betsy Jo Birckelbaw, 70, of Bloomington, went home at 10 a.m. on , 17, 2015 following a valiant fight with a prolonged illness. Her passing was peaceful, at home with her family at her side.

A Time of Remembrance will be at 7 p.m. on , 21, 2015 at Kibler-Brady-Ruestman Memorial in Bloomington with Pastor Spencer McPheron officiating. Visitation will be from 5-7 p.m. prior to the service at the memorial home. Cremation rites have been accorded.

At Betsys request, in lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital.

Betsy was born on 4, 1945 in Bloomington, a daughter of Sheldon and Josephine Weakley Bates. She married William Birckelbaw on 11, 1965 in Bloomington. He survives.

She is also survived by her children, Karen (Craig) Kopacek of Wisconsin, Brian (Carla) Birckelbaw of Bloomington and Kathy (Tony) Cushing of Bloomington; three granddaughters, Katie Birckelbaw, Jessie Birckelbaw and Lauren Cushing; and two special kids, Hannah and Spanky.

Preceding her in death are her parents; half brothers and several aunts and uncles.

For over 30 years, Betsy was her husbands partner and driving force behind the success of The Apple Barn and Grandmas Cottage. There she was known to her many faithful friends and customers as The Pie Lady, and as many new mothers would learn, she was the Official Baby Inspector.

retiring from The Apple Barn in 2001, Betsy worked at Owen Nursery, Wal-Mart, The Citizens Bank of Chatsworth and finally at Flanagan State Bank.

As one who would always be busy, after her third retirement turned the office area of their home into a quilt factory. There, with the help from family members, she made over 80 quilts, which were donated to The Childrens Foundation to be given to the children to keep as their own. In her younger years, she showed her love for children as a Cub Scout Den Mother and taught school for many years. Children were always special to her and up to the end, Betsy always had a smile for them and continued to inspect any babies she saw wherever she was.

Betsys family wishes to thank Dr. Pilcher and the staff at Bloomington Primary , Dr. Clark and his staff, and the staff at Advocate BroMenn for the care and compassion they extended to her.

Online condolences and memories of Betsy may be sent to the family at kiblerbradyruestman.com.

Obituary: Paul Glynn Birchler, 94, of Liberty Village, Pekin, IL, passed away on , Feb 13, 2014. Formerly of Bartonville, Paul was born 10, 1919, in Coulterville, IL, to Frank and Hazel Varner Wilson Birchler. He grew up on a dairy farm in Coulterville surrounded by a huge extended family of cousins, aunts and uncles. He graduated from Sparta High School in 1938.
He met Clara Louise Wylie when he was the highest bidder for her pie at a pie auction/fund raiser at Claras country school. As winner, Paul was required to share the pie with the baker. Pauls sister, Lucy, accompanied Paul to the auction so Paul, Clara and Lucy ate the pie. A few years later Paul volunteered to drive Clara and three of her sisters to their singing gig; the rest, as they say, is history. Paul and Clara were married 9, 1943, in Perryville, MO, and recently celebrated their 71st wedding anniversary. Clara never stopped baking pies for Paul.
accepting a job with Caterpillar in 1951, he moved his family to Bartonville. He accepted a job with Keystone Steel & Wire in 1958, and retired from Keystone in 1982.
Everyone has heard that you can take the boy out of the farm but you can take the farm out of the boy. This was particularly true of Paul. He was forever a farm boy. He was a member of the Peoria Farm Bureau. While working at Keystone he devoted time to his landscaping business, sitting high atop his beloved Ferguson tractor. In addition, he kept farm animals and a large vegetable garden to provide food for his family.
Paul was a member of Bartonville United Methodist Church. He was a man of high moral values, a Christian who believed in hard work, industriousness, education, punctuality and perfect attendance. He disapproved of idleness, spending money, alcohol consumption, smoking and swearing.
Paul was fortunate to have lived 94 healthy, happy years and was especially happy when the Cardinal baseball team was winning, as he was a devout Cardinal fan. As a youth he visited his uncle and cousins in St. Louis, who lived two blocks from Grande Avenue. Hopping on a streetcar, he and his cousins took advantage of free Knothole Passes offered to kids during the week. Except for weddings, nobody has seen Paul in anything but a Cardinal T-Shirt for the past 20 years.
Paul was, to say the least, a fierce pinochle player. Only his rave children learned to play the game. were dragged into the game any time that an extra player was needed with little chance of escape. He expected his partner to always play the correct cards for a win. Everyone losing to him certainly felt a tad lacking in intelligence.
Paul kept himself busy but believed in keeping the Sabbath free of labor and for socializing with family. He was an accomplished woodworker who built cabinets for an entire kitchen. He made hundreds of items for his children and grandchildren from bird houses to drop leaf tables. With help from his father and two sons, using shovels and wheelbarrels, he dug the basement from beneath his house after the house was more than fifty years old. Paul enjoyed jigsaw puzzles, solitaire, crossword puzzles, cryptoquotes, and games/puzzles that were mentally challenging. He loved his wife and children and valued family time. Paul repeatedly proclaimed that he had a good life and married a good woman.
Preceding him in death were his parents, brother, Robert Wesley Shaw Birchler, sister-in-law, Muriel Marie Bollmeier Birchler, and brother-in-law, Charles Robert Pearson.
Surviving are his wife, Clara, two sons, four daughters, eleven grandchildren, twenty-two great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. His children are: Norman (Connie Wiemer) Birchler of Lacon, IL; Leo (Paula Malmgren) Birchler of Saint Charles, MO; Linda (Terry) Bealmer of Mapleton, IL; Shirley (Charlie) Schulze of Longmont, CO; Betty (William Hoot) Gibson of Bartonville, IL; and Doris Birchler of Peoria, IL. His grandchildren and great grandchildren are: Aaron (Kari Karlson) Birchler and their children, Christian, Abigail, Elijah & Eliana of Hankinson, ND; Andrew (Becky Simmons) Birchler and their children, Becka, Kailey & Andrew, Jr., of Colorado Springs, CO; Beth (James) Rohr and their children, Kate & Jacy, of Colorado Springs, CO; Jane (Jason) Hagen and their children, Henry & Hugh, of Downers Grove, IL; Jeffrey Birchler of St. Peters, MO; Tamara Bealmer (fiancé Scott Bridgewater) and her children, Shane, Ryan & Erica Jurick, of Chillicothe, IL; Christopher (Anna Sitkiewicz) Bealmer and children, Samuel & Allison, of Washington, IL; Amy (Christopher) Wathen and their children, Cody & Jackson, of Longmont, CO; Jennifer (Tyson) Abram and their children, Savannah & Brandon, of Boulder, CO; Rusty (Darcy Schindler) Gibson and their children, Madelyn & Molly, of Mapleton, IL; and Adam (Jennifer Markle) Gibson of Edwards, IL. Paul is also survived by his sister, Evelyn Lucille Birchler Pearson of Mountain , AR, and many nieces and nephews.
services will be at 10 a.m. , 17, at Davison-Fulton Bartonville Chapel, with the Rev. Ron Little officiating. Visitation will be from 4 to 6 p.m. , 16, at the funeral home. Burial will be at Swan Lake Memorial Gardens, Peoria. Memorials may be made to: St Jude Childrens Research Hospital.
