She went home to her Lord on July 25, 2011 after a short illness. She married Charles Wagner Harrison, Jr. on December 28, 1940 and together they were parents of two daughters.

She attended Cameron College in Lawton, OK where she studied business and played violin in the school orchestra. She also served as president of the Lawton YWCA. Following graduation from Cameron College, she moved to Washington, D.C. and was employed as secretary to Oklahoma Congressman Jed Johnson. One day while riding the streetcar, she briefly encountered and was attracted to Charles Harrison, Jr. who was then an Engisn in the U.S. Navy. She considered accidently dropping her umbrella as a ploy to get better acquainted with him. Charles' proper Virginia upbringing led him to learn where she attended church and he went there to get formally introduced to Fern. They were married on December 28, 1940. Fern took the Civil Service exam and was assigned to write contracts for the military during wartime Washington, D.C. Fern retired from active employment and moved with her husband to Cambridge, MA where he pursued his graduate studies and she devoted her efforts to raising her family and Christian fellowship activities. Charles' navy career took them to Philadelphia and later back to Washington, D.C. He retired from active duty in 1957 and accepted employment with Sandia National Labs in Albuquerque. Charles and Fern were members of Heights Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Albuquerque. The family are grateful to Fern's many friends who have kept her in their thoughts and prayers and remained in contact through the years.

HURD --
PHYLLIS BASSLER Wonderful mother, special grandmother and great friend, passed away July 23, 2011. Phyllis was born April 29, 1916, in Roaring Spring, PA, the daughter of John R. and Edith B. Bassler. Despite her formative years having occurred during the Depression, she grew up in a lively, generous home where her parents planted the seeds for her life-long kind and caring spirit. She was a graduate of Roaring Spring High School and the Altoona School of Commerce. Phyllis has remained close with many of her childhood friends throughout her long and productive life. After working briefly in Altoona for Pennsylvania Power & Light, she was recruited by the Roaring Spring Paper Mill to join their payroll department. She often told stories of the long work weeks at the Mill, and clearly remembered getting only partial holidays for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day. Phyllis married James Whittier Hurd on October 29, 1940. She and Jim moved to Harrisburg in 1949, where she worked for the Pennsylvania Anthracite Institute as a legislative relations specialist until the office was closed due to a fire that occurred as a consequence of Hurricane Agnes in 1972. For the next eight years she worked for the State of Pennsylvania Revenue Department until retiring at age 65. From the 1970s to the late 1980s, Phyllis was an antique dealer associated with a variety of Harrisburg area consignment centers, the last of which was the "Barn" at Hershey. She loved collecting and selling cut-and pressed-glass along with fine porcelain. She spent countless Saturdays going to public auctions with her husband and daughter Pam and enjoyed nothing more than finding a real "treasure" that other dealers had overlooked. Phyllis was a life-long member of the Order of Eastern Star having served Estrelita Chapter 512 in Harrisburg in several offices, culminating as Worthy Matron. Many of her closest and longest friendships were developed from her ties to Eastern Star (both her home Chapter and throughout Central PA). She also served as secretary of the PA Association of Retired Employees (PARSE) until 1994 when she moved to Albuquerque to be close to her only child, daughter Pam, son-in-law Ron and grandson Kyle. During this latter period, she was active in the Daughters of the Nile and Masonic Widows organizations, and was a member of Hoffmantown Church. Throughout her life, Phyllis loved to play piano for family and friends, speak in public (as a school girl she had won oratory awards), create needlepoint, knit scarves, and grow roses. She had a true green thumb regardless of the climate or planting conditions. She left full, thriving rose gardens at her homes in Harrisburg and later in Albuquerque. Her family and many friends in Albuquerque and Harrisburg will miss her sunny disposition, can-do attitude, kind and generous friendship, and her wonderful smile. Phyllis was preceded in death by her parents, husband James, and brother John R."Jack" Bassler, Jr. She is survived by her daughter Pamela Hurd-Knief; son-in-law Ronald A. Knief; beloved grandson Kyle Alexander Hurd Knief; sister-in-law Catherine Bassler; niece Cornelia Rutherford; and nephew John Bassler. Services will be held at French - Wyoming Chapel on Friday, July 29, 2011, 11:00 a.m., and family and friends may visit one hour prior to service. A private interment will take place. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions may be made to: The Bassler-Hurd Political Science Scholarship Fund at Juniata College. Checks should be mailed to the Office of Development; Juniata College; 1700 Moore Street; Huntingdon, PA 16652.

LEPPELMAN --
MARK STEVEN Was a mere 21 years young when Our Lord unexpectedly called him home on Sunday, July 24th. Mark is survived by his loving parents, Cathy and Steve, devoted brother, Scott, and faithful companion, King. In addition to the many friends, family and others who loved him, Mark also leaves behind years unlived and those whose paths he did not cross. They will not witness his love for family. They will not see his patient understanding of children nor his kindness toward animals and the love they had for him. Nor will they behold his passion for the Lord or know how his faith sustained Mark during those heroic battles that tried his soul. Mark was an excellent marksman and treasured the times with his father shooting his grandfather's pistol. He loved nature and found peace and inspiration in God's creation. How blessed we are, those of us who knew him. How blessed is Mark, that because he trusted in the Lord through whom all things are possible, the child we believe has left us too soon, is now cradled in the arms of Our Savior and has inherited the kingdom of God. Amen. With GOD all things are possible. Mark 10:27. A celebration of Mark's life will be held on Thursday, July 28 at 10:00 a.m. at Sagebrush Community Church, 6440 Coors blvd NW. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the OCD Foundation, www.ocfoundation.org. Condolences may be left at: www.danielsfuneral.com.

MILLS --
EASTON ELMO age 84, born October 18, 1926, in Syracuse, Kansas, died at his home in Albuquerque on July 22, 2011. He was preceded in death by his wife, Martha Mills and his son, Craig E. Mills. He is survived by his daughter, Jan C'de Baca; by six grandchildren; and ten great-grandchildren, including: the family of Chris C'de Baca, his wife, Theresa, and their children, Joseph and Andie; the family of Alicia and Jason Sharpe - Krista Koester and husband, Jake, Mitch Vigil, Zoe Sharpe, and Paisley Sharpe; Alima Jimenez and son, Blaise; and by his granddaughter Arielle Mills and the family of Marina Ybarra. In addition, he leaves behind a loving extended family and many dear friends across the Western states. Easton fell deeply in love with his high school sweetheart, Martha Ellen Royston, who he married in 1944. They were united for almost sixty years, until Martha's death in 2003. They moved to Albuquerque in 1952, where Easton worked as an electrician at Yearout Electric for nearly forty years, until 1991. Easton and Martha were wonderful grandparents. They created a comfortable home surrounded by kind and supportive neighbors. Their home was a refuge of calm and stability for their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren over the course of six decades. Easton's father, the Sheriff of Syracuse, Kansas, and son of the Sheriff before him, was killed in the line of duty while Easton was still an infant. As Easton leaves this world, our consolation is that he finally get to meet his father and reunite with his wife and son in the afterlife. Easton was a stoic, honest, generous man with enviable good looks. All who knew him noted his passion for learning history and how well-read he remained throughout his life. Easton occasionally treated us all to his beautiful baritone voice, which he once used in a barbershop quartet. All of our lives were enriched by knowing him. He will be missed beyond measure, but will live eternally in our hearts and memories. Services will be held on Saturday, July 30, 2011, 10:00 a.m., at Chester T. French Memorial Mausoleum, 924 Menual Blvd. NE. Interment will follow at Sunset Memorial Park, 924 Menaul Blvd. NE.
