OBITUARY OF LOUIS SMITH

Boonville, IN. – Lois Smith, 72 years old (February 1, 1947- June 25, 2019) has joined her Heavenly family, parents, Clarence and Dorothea Addington and dear Aunt Edna Addington. She waits to be reunited someday with those left on earth: husband, Ron Smith; daughters, Jenny Stadelmann and Angela Taylor (Ryan); grandchildren, Grace and Ellie Stadelmann and Josiah and Micah Taylor; sister, Linda Hadley (David); brother-in-law, Jim Smith (Margie); and nieces and nephews Julia (Aaron) Mayes, Doug (Amee) Hadley, Chris (Jaleigh) Hadley, Aaron (Lisa) Smith, and Zachary Smith.

Lois was a loving and devoted wife, mother, daughter and sister. Outside of family, she poured her passions into serving others, especially through teaching and music. She taught for more than 35 years, the majority being at Castle High School, as an English and Literature teacher. Her service continued outside of the classroom to provide additional support to teens during difficult transitions.

Lois also enjoyed learning about other cultures through her travels to Europe with students and through her participation in a professional development program with other teachers traveling throughout Asia and developing an Asian literature program. These amazing cross-cultural experiences expanded her ability to see the image of God in all people.

Lois’ other love was music. She played piano at Main Street General Baptist Church for over 25 years, and she especially enjoyed preparing for and performing cantatas around the holidays.

Services will be 10 A.M. on Friday, June 28, 2019 at Koehler Funeral Home in Boonville, Indiana with Pastor Rodney Sloan officiating. Burial will be at Mt Gilead Cemetery in Boonville, Indiana.

Obituary for Reko Deprae Levels

0
Reko Deprae Levels was born June 5, 1974, to Mary Jane Carter. His family started calling him “Big Boy” early on. Sadly, Reko passed from this life on June 26, 2019 at his residence.

As a child, Reko enjoyed comic books and swimming. He was a very good self-taught swimmer who loved to hit the pools every summer. Although he and his twin brother, Meko, were known to be mischievous together, Reko was typically the one who masterminded their antics.

Reko attended school through the Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation. For a time, he also attended Piney Woods School, a boarding school in Piney Woods, Mississippi. Reko was very bright but was always more interested in the lessons learned outside the classroom. He showed an aptitude in computers, but never pursued that as a formal field of study.

As an adult, Reko worked a variety of jobs, including telemarketing and corporate cleaning.

Reko always had a muscular build but was never into health food. A steady diet of pizza and peanut butter would keep him happy.

Reko will be remembered for many things; including his big laugh, his proclivity for mischief, and a spirit so deep that you had to spend quality time with him to uncover everything that was great about him.

Reko is survived by daughters; Aysha Levels, Mariah Hurse, A’Maya Levels, and Mikayla Levels; sons, Spencer Cordell and Reko Levels, Jr. (“RJ”); grandchildren Nyrobi Levels and Reighley Levels; sisters, Denise Griffith-Taylor, Bruceann King, and Andrea Owsley; brothers, Meko Levels, David Griffith, Terry Gish, Jonathan Levels, Chester Levels, Darius Staten, and Antjuane Meriweather; his longtime companion, Elizabeth Levels; aunts and uncles; nieces and nephews, and a host of friends.
