HARRIGER -- Helen Irene Lutz Harriger December 14, 1907 - January 12, 2008 "Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth." Helen took this as her personal philosophy. This Shirley Chisholm quote was how Helen lived her 100 years and one month, how she thought about her world and believed in these sentiments to the end. Helen Irene Lutz Harriger was born in Magadore, Ohio on December 14, 1907 to Harvey S. Lutz and Rose Norrish Lutz. Helen began her life as a country girl being schooled in a one room school house. She was motivated by a strong sense of independence and work ethic. She was transplanted to Cleveland when she was eight and began to become "citified." After high school, Helen refused a scholarship to college, instead opting to "earn her own way" through. She graduated from Hiram College with a BA in Sociology in 1929. She was the last living member of her graduating class. She married Harold A. "Hap" Harriger after he agreed he would also finish college. They both were Executive Secretaries for the YMCA in Cleveland. In 1947 they moved to Raton, NM where Hap was the Director of the Chamber of Commerce and Helen found a "part time" job as a teacher. This part-time job became Helen's passion, lasting the next 37 years of her life. They moved briefly to Moberly, MO, but the lure of the Land of Enchantment was too strong and they moved to Albuquerque in 1951 where Helen taught and Hap worked as the first Child Labor Inspector for the state. Together, they were part of the founding members of the Sombra Del Monte Christian Church. Helen taught at La Luz, Five Points and Inez Elementary Schools. She got her MA from UNM and was very active in Classroom Teachers and NEA New Mexico, Phi Delta Kappa, and Pi Lambda Theta. Helen was named NEA NM Teacher of the year in 1973 and was elected President of NEA NM and also president of the UNM chapter of Phi Delta Kappa, among other achievements. Helen stayed in the classroom to the age of 76, and she continued to visit classrooms and tell stories to children well into her 90's. Helen lived an amazing life in her 100 years. In 1963 she was chosen to be a member of the Teach Corps and taught teachers in Africa: two summers in Sierra Leone, two in Kenya, and then one in Kathmandu, Nepal. This started her love for traveling the world. Helen did not go overseas until she was 55 years old. She was an inspiration who demonstrated that life is full at any age. Despite her late start as a world traveler she visited every continent in the world with the exception of Antarctica. She was among the first educators to visit China and returned numerous times with various family members. She was a delegate to the World Conference of Teaching Professionals and attended their meetings around the world. She was selected for national awards such as the NEA Irvamae Applegate Award For International Understanding and the Phi Delta Kappa Ivy Payne Humanitarian Award. She was loved and adored by all who had the privilege of knowing her. She will be missed. Helen lived up to the opening quote and her service earned a really big room on this earth. Helen saw incredible changes in her 100 years. Her family celebrated with a Christmas tree before the tradition was widely practiced in the United States. She lived through two world wars and the depression. She witnessed the advent of "new technology" such as radios, television, airplanes, and mimeograph machines. She witnessed the technological explosion of computers and cell phones. Helen and Hap were married 59 years till his death in 1992. Helen is survived by her two daughters, Ruthe Duquette and husband Duke, Nora Romero Smeltzer; five grandchildren, Andrea Duquette McCrae and husband, Chuckey, Kristen Duquette-LeFevre, Jennifer Romero Jewell, Geoffrey R. Romero Esq., and Stephanie N. Romero. Helen also had 16 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren are on the way. Besides the legacy of her family, Helen leaves behind thousands of students, here and overseas, whose young minds and values were shaped and influenced by their "favorite teacher." You cannot fully measure the positive impact upon the world caused by Helen's life. A Memorial Service celebrating Helen's life will be held at Sombra Del Monte Christian Church on February 16, 2008 at 3:00 p.m. This date allows out-of-state friends and family members the opportunity to attend. In lieu of cards and flowers please send donations to either Sombra del Monte Christian Church, 2525 Vermont St. NE, Albuquerque, NM 87110 or Oprah's Angel Network, (earmarked for African education), P.O. Box 96600, Chicago, IL. 60693.

KETCHUM -- Burl Ketchum, 82, died unexpectedly on January 24, 2008. Burl was born on October 5, 1925 in Moriland, Arkansas, the fourth child of Harvey Ketchum and the former Launa Ferguson.

Mr. Ketchum served in the Sea Bees from 1943-1946 as a Machinists mate. After honorable discharge he moved to Los Alamos in 1947, where he was employed by the LAFD. He then reenlisted in 1951 and served aboard the USS Alshain until his second honorable discharge. After his second discharge he returned to Los Alamos (still a closed city) with his wife Ruth and baby daughter. He resumed work at the LAFD and was also employed by LANL until his retirement.

He is survived by his children Gregory Ketchum; and grandchildren Cassandra Renae and Gregory Allen Jr. His daughter, Cheryl Nelson, son-in-law John Nelson; grandchildren Matthew Lucas, Daniel Montgomery and Johanna Bethany, all residents of Albuquerque. Burl will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Like many of his generation he grew up on the farm and worked side by side with his family picking cotton from sun up to sun down. He attended school in a little one room school house. He was proud to serve his country in two wars and served his community as a fireman. His children knew him to be a man of honor who kept his word. He was faithful to two wives and cared lovingly and sacrificially for them until their deaths. Even though the man we knew gradually disappeared by inches, ravaged by Alzheimer's disease, he still remained a true Southern Gentleman. He was always cheerful and kind and a joy to be around. He loved playing with all the grandkids and household pets and will be especially missed by them. The Family of Burl Ketchum wishes to express their sincere appreciation and thanks to all the Home Instead staff for their excellent care. Also thanks to Sunrise Assisted Living for all their care and kindness. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to Compassion, Intl.

She attended local elementary and junior high schools and was a 1984 graduate of Sandia High School.

She enjoyed interacting with and helping people, and worked in various positions as a caregiver or customer service provider. Truly a free spirit, Natalie always showed a zest for life and made everybody she met feel comfortable around her - family, friends, co-workers, and strangers - everybody. She always appreciated the little things in life - the things that many of us take for granted. She loved walking in the rain, feeding the birds, the way her dogs would stare at her when they wanted to go for a walk, and just sitting outside on a nice day listening to music and writing her poetry. She had such a magical aura radiating from her at all times. We will truly miss her and are thankful that love lives on forever in Heaven and in our hearts. Natalie is survived by her mother, Elaine Carter and husband, Sam; father, Frank L. Martin and wife, Linda; brother, Anthony (Tony) Martin (son, Sean); brother, Jerel K. Martin and wife, Kelly (children, Rhiannon and Forest); step-sister, Rhonda Hawkins and husband, Paul (children, Tracey, Arthur, Mary Jane and Alex); step-sister, Kellie Messer and husband, Toby (son, Tanner); and step-brother, David Shoemate and wife, Yolanda (children, James, Sara, and Michael). Natalie is also survived by her former husband and forever Love, Huey White (children, Melissa and Jason White). Many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends also survive her and of course, her beloved dogs, Dylan and Skylar. Natalie was preceded in death by her step-father, Jimmie Shoemate; step-brother, Kevin Shoemate; her maternal grandparents, Bill and Estelle Cooper; and her paternal grandparents, Gene and Eileen Brown. Family and friends are invited to celebrate Natalie's life at a memorial service on Friday, February 1, 2008, at 11:00 am. The Service will be held at Berean Baptist Church, 3800 Eubank Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87111.
