People we remember
Biographies are where we share about family & friends to connect with others who remember them.
Mary Neeley:
"Where have all the flowers gone? The most BEAUTIFUL flowers in the garden are always picked first. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love is a memory no one can steal. You were the GREATEST singer/songwriter of the 21st century. Others will come and go but no one will EVER have your style. Rest in peace, Dear Amy Jade Winehouse. You have touched so many."
Matt Von Striver:
Beverly Norene Von Striver was a daughter, sister, aunt, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. She left this world suddenly on May 13, 2022 at the age of eighty six.
Beverly was born on February 11, 1936 to Alexander and Esther Montague. Immediately upon her high school graduation, at age 17, she married Ronald Von Striver. Together, they had four children: Mark (1954-2016), Beth (Michael), Wayde (Elizabeth) and Bradley.
She delighted in each of her grandchildren (Justin, Alison, Alex, Taylor, Jenna and Matthew) and was very proud of her great-grandchildren (Nicholas, Bodhi, Maximus, Hazel, Adelind and Ridley). Beverly also leaves behind extended family and numerous dear friends.
In her early years, Beverly was primarily a stay at home parent. She did, however, work as a representative for Avon and Tupperware, and thoroughly enjoyed the imbedded social opportunities.
Beverly would later work for Laurel Hills Development Center, and San Juan Unified School District. In both positions, she fully and wholeheartedly supported individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities.
Beverly was a woman of faith who deeply loved her family and friends, the ocean, robust conversations, singing, word games, quality food, and being the center of attention. Most recently, she renewed her love of reading and enjoyed watching tv; specifically Pit Bulls and Parolees, The Curse of Oak Island and Survivor.
Her sense of humor stands out as a predominant trait, as well as her generosity, candidness, honesty and integrity.
Tom Perry:
Mark was the youngest of my sister's and brother. At the time I thought he was perhaps one of the best looking babies I had ever seen back then, I was 13 years old when he came along. He was pretty quiet and reserved his whole life, careful not to make any disturbance or scene. He enjoyed driving around, listening to music, he never liked school and dropped out. He never heard the call of the world beckoning him to leave the nest as me and my siblings had. He stayed home and helped Mom and Dad out around the house. When he fell sick he tried to keep things to him self until the pain was unbearable. I think of you alot Mark. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I can only hope the pain has subsided and that you rest in peace. When it's time I hope to see you again.
Stanley Buzzelle II:
Ralph was my best friend for many years and sadly he passed recently - On our summer vacation before our senior year in high school, Ralph and I went on a cross-country trip, driving from California to Norfolk Virginia where my older sister and her husband were living. We were supposed to be camping for the summer on the property my parents owned in Arizona mountains. We did send some post cards to our parents and headed east across country to visit my sister and my brother-in-law. We obviously couldn't use the gas cards our parents gave to us and decided that we would siphon gas from government vehicles after those offices closed. It was successful enterprise, and we never took gas from anyone except local government vehicles after those offices were closed for the night.
When we got to my sister's house, my brother-in-law called our parents and advised that he and my sister would watch over us and then send us home. We could now use the gas cards because our parents now knew where we were. after a nice visit, we successfully made our way back to Ventura Calif.
Ralph and I were very best friends for many years after our trip, and I miss him a very, very much and I always will.
F Stover:
What Emily was like - Emily was born at home in Carmichael, CA like her older sister Kira. She liked cats a lot and had a wild imagination. She could be excitable and very playful at times and she had a couple close female friends. Emily liked hiking around Trinidad beach and the redwoods with her sisters. She wanted to own love birds, so she saved up some money and bought two beautiful birds which she cherished. Her last school was Sunny Brae Middle School in Arcata, CA.
Dana Poplees:
Relative? - I’m looking for my great grandfather’s siblings
Stephen Andrew Poplees.
It seems he changed his name around 1917 when he entered World War I draft
Popolizzo.
It’s pretty horrible how on every document the name is spelled differently
I’m assuming he has some siblings that we don’t know about

I have an old studio photograph of Guy KETTERER which was taken at the Burkholder & Co. Studio in Orrville, OH. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Guy appearing to be about 3 years old at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Guy and his family:
Guy David Dewitt KETTERER was b. 8 Oct 1889 in Cleveland or Apple Creek, OH to parents William “Willie” KETTERER (1862-1913) and Sybil Della BARNES (1864-1942) who were married 6 May 1884 in Wayne County, OH. Guy was one of four children born to this couple including Cora E.; Baby Boy; Baby Boy; and Guy David Dewitt KETTERER, all born between 1884 and 1889. Guy married twice, first to Caroline STOCKON (1893-1931) on 2 Apr 1918 in Hillsborough County, FL and second to Anna “Annie” Margaret or Marie SANDS (1874-1958) in 1933 in Pinellas County, FL, they divorced in 1951.
Guy died 28 Jul 1955 in Tampa, FL and is buried in the Westlawn Cemetery in Mount Eaton, OH.
I would like to get this photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley

Arm teachers? Require gun training? Here’s where Idaho governor candidates stand by CYNTHIA SEWELL - Steve Pankey, Republican
Commonly after shootings, we hear families of the victims call for more gun control. Steve Pankey went the other way after his youngest son, Carl, a 20-year-old college student living in Phoenix, was shot and killed by his girlfriend in 2008.
Pankey said “all gun laws enacted post-1968 should be repealed.” And he does not want any new gun restrictions. “If MS-13 comes to your door with techie guns, you need at least the same.”
Pankey takes a more spiritual approach when asked the solution to keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous people while protecting the rights of law-abiding, responsible gun owners.
“A Third Great Awakening, revival, a return to the God of the Bible on God’s terms,” he said.
Instead of participating in March for Our Lives, Pankey said, he prayed. “I prayed for God’s wisdom for all Idaho school boards and administrators. I prayed for all Idaho first-responders. I prayed for Florida state and federal courts to punish FBI and local law enforcement individuals who failed by acts of omission. … The state of Florida was complicate by acts of omission in 17 murders.”
