Ella A. Hartman Lansing Township At the wonderful age of 108 year old, Ella passed away Friday, April 30, 2010 in Lansing Township surrounded by her loving family. Ella was born January 23, 1902 in Montcalm County, Michigan and was the daughter of Ernest and Martha (Tottingham) Conklin. Ella loved to knit, crochet, read and was a good cook. She made mittens, scarves, and baby blankets for her grandbabies, and could make a mean Lemon Meringue Pie! Ella married William "Bill" Hartman on September 25, 1920 in Vestaburg, MI and they celebrated 56 years of marriage before his death in July 1977. They built several homes and lived in the Lansing area for many years. In 1955 they bought the "Maple Grove Resort" in Gaylord, Michigan where they rented 8 cabins year round. They had people from all over Michigan that would stay summer and winter, vacationing, skiing or snowmobiling. After 20 years of hard work and making many friends, they sold the resort and moved back to Lansing, where they lived in the Delta Township area and spent winters in Florida until Bill passed away. When the Waverly 39'ers formed, Ella was one of the original people that attended and had been very active for many years. She was the designated greeter for the new people that attended and always had a happy "Hello, we're so glad you're here" greeting along with a smile. Ella belonged to the Douglas McDonald V.F.W. Post 6132 and held the chair of Chaplains for many years. She was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church and attended every Sunday until it became hard for her to get there. She was an "Honorary Member" of the Red Hat Society of Gaylord, and a past member of the Grange Lodge in Gaylord, Michigan. Ella was a very stylish lady and served as a goodwill ambassador everywhere she went. Her family was a very important part of her life and she loved them all very much. They could never say enough about how proud they were of Ella, all of her accomplishments and what a beautiful lady she was. She was so proud of the fact that she had 6 generations of her family; something not many people can say they have. She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill; son, Alva E. Hartman (May 2008); grandson, Rick Allen Hartman; great-granddaughter, Eva Hartman; great-great grandsons, Jared Campau, and Blake Joseph Smith, II; and sister, Edith Gould. Surviving are her children, Kenneth (Nora) Hartman, Arlene Henderson Carey, Jan Hatt; daughter-in-law, Florence Hartman; grandchildren, Patty Doll, Barry Hartman, Nancy (Larry) Drolett, Larry (Eleanore) Hartman, Gary Hartman, Linda Bachtel, Jackie (Roy) Lovaas, Chuck (Linda) Henderson, Honey Deon (David) Bentley, Kim (David) Baker, Micki Smith, and Jill Sweet; 24 great-grandchildren; 25 great great-grandchildren; 2 great great great-grandchildren. Services were held Thursday, May 6, at Trinity United Methodist Church, 7533 W. St. Joseph, Lansing with Pastor Rae Franke officiating. Interment was at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens. A special thanks to the staff of Gardner Adult Foster Care for their loving care to Ella during her short stay. Arrangements by Tiffany Funeral Home.

The Rev. (Father) Tom McDevitt passed away May 3, 2010 at the age of 77. He was born Oct. 5, 1932, the son of Gerald and Alice McDevitt. He was a 1950 graduate of St. Mary’s High School, Jackson. Fr. Tom was ordained on June 29, 1958 in Louvain, Belgium. After attending Sacred Heart Seminary in Detroit, he completed seminary at the American College in Louvain, Belgium. In 2000, he reached Senior Priest status (priests never really retire) at St. John Student Parish, East Lansing, but continued to be active in many areas. He was on the retreat team at St. Francis Retreat Center in DeWitt. He has been priest/chaplain and presenter at Retrouvaille weekends around the country and on the board of Retrouvaille International.  He has continued his love of learning, teaching, and preaching the word faithfully and with love: studying at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago and elsewhere, and teaching classes. As an International Fellow of Catholic Relief Services, he has traveled to Palestine and Israel and spoken at parishes throughout Michigan and beyond on behalf of the work done by CRS. Tom deeply loved his God, his family and friends, his fellow priests and his own life as a priest, celebrating the sacraments and ministering to the people. Prayer and meditation were staples of his life.  He liked a good game of cards or Scrabble, enjoyed bowling with the Knights of Columbus and with family and walking or riding his bike. He loved to sing, saying, “I believe everything when I sing.” He was enthralled with nature in its many forms; birds singing, surf pounding, stars at night. He had a great spirit of adventure both spiritually and concretely. Spiritually, this led him to explore different forms of spirituality and prayer, both Eastern and Western. Concretely that spirit led him to travel to many parts of the world, including a trip around the world with priest friends. In those travels he delighted in the culture, sights, and foods of each place he went. Now he is on the greatest adventure of his life. He was preceded in death by his parents; sister-in-law, Kay McDevitt and brother-in-law, Stas Karasek.  He is survived by his brothers, Jerry (Shirley) and Pat (Phyllis) McDevitt; sisters, Shirley (Bill) Phillips, Mary Karasek, and Kathy McDevitt; 18 nieces and nephews; 27 great-nieces and nephews; his much loved best friends, Fr. Jake Foglio and Jean Mather and family. A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Thursday at St. John Church and Student Center, 327 MAC, East Lansing. The visitation will be held from 2-8 p.m. Wednesday at the church with a Scripture Service at 7 p.m. and one hour prior to the Mass on Thursday. The Rite of Committal will be held at 11 a.m. Friday in St. John’s Catholic Cemetery, Jackson. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Catholic Relief Services, 228 N. Walnut St., Lansing, MI, 48933-1122 in memory of Fr. Tom McDevitt. The family is being served by Gorsline Runciman Funeral Homes, East Lansing, Michigan.
