Stevens Point WI Obituaries and Death Notices
Monday, June 19, 2017Mark and Michael. They also adopted a son, John-Paul and a daughter Teresa. Carolyn and James were married nearly 34 years, divorcing in 2001. James passed away in January 2017 in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.In 2001 Carolyn moved from Wisconsin to Seaside Oregon to bravely begin her life anew at the age of 55 years. There she met Richard Hempel in the fall of 2003, and they were joined in marriage under the auspices of the Episcopal Church on June 12th, 2005. She enjoyed a great many activities and endeavors, among them travel, cooking, gardening, tennis, decorating, dancing, and quilting. She also had a life long passion for the art of Iconography.During her lifetime she traveled over much of Europe, some of Asia, to Canada and Alaska; and several times to the Hawaiian Islands.Carolyn and Richard moved to Sequim Washington in April 2007, partly as the result of an ill fated attempt to reside in Victoria, B.C., where the Canadian Immigration authorities rejected them. It was a “very fortunate” episode because they discovered Sequim. The warm and wonderful reception and hospitality that they experienced at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church played a large part in their decision to make Sequim their home. They purchased a house built in 1976 in the beautiful Sunland Community, and Carolyn lovingly remodeled and redecorated it into their “perfect home.”Carolyn Marie was a truly generous and loving person and a fervent practicing Christian. Among her activities and accomplishments was participating as a server in Christian soup kitchens in Seattle and Wisconsin, functioning as a foster parent, being a coordinating member of the Square Dance community of the Olympic Peninsula; and she was also an avid supporter of the Boys & Girls Club, the Habitat for Humanity, the Sequim Food Bank, and the Community Foundation of Sequim Dungeness Valley.Carolyn functioned as the Chairperson of the Sunland Golf and Country Club’s Social Committee for two years. She was a member of NAMI (National Association for Mental Illness), and a major contributor to the Clallam County VeteranÕs Standdowns. She was an involved member of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, and along with a group of other dedicated women in the church, they produced well over a thousand prayer quilts for wounded military veterans across Washington state; as well as, prayer quilts for ill members of the church and their families, neighbors, and friends.Carol...

Monday, February 20, 2017He was truly an advocate for them."Donovan's Wisconsin Army National Guard career spanned 38 years, beginning in 1971 as a cannoneer in Battery C, 1st Battalion, 120th Field Artillery in Stevens Point. Two years later, he transferred to the 112th Public Information Detachment, which later became the 112th Public Affairs Detachment in Madison, joining the field that would define his military career.In his first year in the public information unit, Donovan established the first radio station — a low-powered, AM-frequency short-range signal — to serve Wisconsin Army National Guard soldiers during annual training at Fort McCoy.p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 17.3px 0.0px; font: 17.0px Times}He earned a direct commission to first lieutenant in 1978, and four years later took command of the 112th Public Affairs Detachment, a position he held for 11 years. Donovan deployed to Saudi Arabia in November 1990 during Operation Desert Shield and to Somalia in 1993.In May 1993, Donovan transferred to the state headquarters, where he served in the public affairs office as a plans officer, assistant public affairs officer and, beginning in January 1996, as public affairs director. His last assignment was deploying to Iraq as public affairs officer with the 32nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team in 2009-'10. After retiring from the National Guard, he became the public affairs chief at the Madison Veterans Affairs Hospital.Sometimes gruff and always to the point, Donovan was a perfectionist who didn't sugarcoat things. He frequently told commanders that bad news was like fish — the older it gets, the worse it smells, said Denson.He was a mentor to many military public affairs specialists and set the standards for the state's response to war and casualties, communicating not just with elected officials but troops, employers, families and the public, said Jackie Guthrie, who was hired by Donovan and succeeded him as the guard's public affairs director."He was very well-respected by many leaders and sought out by leaders," said Guthrie, director of government affairs for the guard.After a bust of Michelle Witmer was unveiled at the guard's headquarters in Madison in 2005, the families of Wisconsin's fallen heroes were invited to the event. Gov. Jim Doyle asked them to the governor's mansion for a cookout after the ceremony, which turned into an annual holiday gathering for the families that continues."That was one of the many events that Tim planted the seed for and has continued to blossom. Tim did all that without fanfare," said Guthrie.A funeral is scheduled for March 11 at Ryan Funeral Home, 2418 N. Sherman Ave., Madison.Read or Share this story: http://on.jsonl.in/2kb1JEX...
