A couple details. Frederick Walter McQuigg died in Sioux Falls, SD on February 2, 1965. It was horribly cold and icy and Linda's dad drove all day from Columbia to get there and Pop died before he could make it. He was so tired but we were so tired and glad to see him (because we waited a long time for him) and he barely got in the door of that waiting room and we jumped and said, "Oh, he is already dead!" and he just about collapsed like he had been punctured. We all got in our cars and drove to the air port in Sioux City, IA to meet Jerry flying in from KC. From Sioux City on to Schaller, it was Dottie and Jerry in their car (Dottie had been staying in Sioux Falls with Granny Mac for weeks while Pop died), Jim and Granny Mac in his car and me in mine (I had driven over from Owatonna, MN and stayed with them because he was so bad) on sheer ice. It was awful. Just don't know if you have ever heard that story. - Ruthie McQuiggFrederick married Gould, Doris Alice on 7 Jun 1918 in Madison, Dane, Wisconsin, USA.

Notes:
Jim enlisted in the US Army during World War II and served in the European theatre. Immediately after enlistment they sent him to weather school at Northwestern University, near Chicago. That's when he renewed his Cornell College 'acquaintance' with Marcella Kouba. After he graduated from weather school, he was sent to England and crossed the English channel shortly after "D Day", and was surrounded during the 'Battle of the Bulge". He was in the 21st Weather Squadron. His service number was D857141. They were married in King Memorial Chapel on the campus of Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, where they both graduated prior to the war. His rank at discharge was Captain. He then went to work for the US Weather Bureau.
They first moved to Kansas City, MO, Des Moines, IA, Washington, DC, Omaha, NE and finally to Columbia, MO. After he retired from the weather bureau he started a private weather consulting firm predicting worldwide agricultural crop yields using computers and satellite weather data. These were very valuable to our country (and the CIA) during the Cold War, as he could tell from the satellite data how bad the crops were in Russia.

Buried in Memorial Park
History of the 21st Weather Squadron:
Activated at Bradley Field, Conn., in April 1943, the 21st Weather Squadron quickly moved overseas and was assigned to the 9th Air Force in October of the same year. With the purpose of providing dedicated meteorological intelligence to ground units, the 21st WS became the first fully deployable weather squadron in history with men trained specifically for combat; during Operation Overlord, 14 mobile weather units deployed 30 men in support of the ground troops. Following the Normandy invasion, Bronze Stars were awarded to 81 servicemen of the 21st WS.
The unit also earned the European-African-Middle-Eastern service streamer and three additional campaign streamers in Northern France, Rheinland, and Central Europe, for their unparalleled support to the war fighter.

Notes:
Doris Louise Squibbs was born to F.W. and Doris McQuigg in Schaller, Iowa on September 12, 1932. She passed away peacefully on September 10, 2021, just two days short of her 89th birthday. She went to country school for eight years and graduated from Schaller High School in 1949, and was Salutatorian of her class. She participated in many of the activities the small school offered—plays, musicals and was especially good on the girls’ basketball team. She had a deadly long shot!
She continued her education at Iowa State Teachers College and received a two-year teaching certificate. Doris taught second grade in Milford, Iowa for three years. She then went to the University of Colorado, where she completed her junior year. While in Denver, she worked at the MAY D&F department store, and was an associate buyer until 1958. Then, she and a friend moved to Kansas City and she worked at AT&T Headquarters.
Doris, or Dottie as many friends call her, met Jerry Squibbs one Sunday morning on her front porch. He was visiting his friends, her downstairs neighbors. Their friendship sparked when they started discussing baseball. They went to a game together that day, and That was That!
Jerry and Dottie were married in Columbia, Missouri on September 3, 1960. They lived in Columbia for a year while Jerry completed his mechanical engineering degree and she worked at State Farm Insurance Company. He accepted a position with Natkin Company in Kansas City and Dottie went back to work for AT&T. They soon bought a house, and that is when she quit AT&T to stay at home. She enjoyed homemaking and entertaining her family and friends.
They welcomed their son, David in January 1971, and she loved being a mother and a wife. They all enjoyed traveling together, and Hawaii was a favorite location. They enjoyed trips to their special place on Lake Viking, and usually anywhere around water. They enjoyed their back yard pool and many times their home was the center of family holidays. Doris found a place for her talents by volunteering at Asbury United Methodist Church. She especially enjoyed her work with United Methodist Women and her positions on various boards and committees. She was an active member of Johnson County Young Matrons, and participated in helping establish TLC.
Jerry died far too early, in 1992. They had moved to Denver for his big promotion within his company, but when his heart was failing, they came back to Kansas City. Jerry passed away following his heart transplant surgery. Doris and her son David continued to live in Overland Park.
Her extended family was important to her, and she continued hosting holiday and family events. In 1999, she opened her home to her sister Ruth McQuigg. They together maintained their home and traditions. They traveled together, especially in the winter, to favorite spots like Charleston, South Carolina, Arizona, Gulf Shores and of course, Costa Rica to visit David. They moved from their Overland Park home to Brookdale Retirement Community in November of 2018. Doris lived her last few months at Villa St Francis.
Dottie will be remembered as a kind, generous lady—ready to talk sports with anyone who would listen. She and Jerry loved the Chiefs and Dottie studied the newspaper and knew many facts about both her beloved Chiefs and Royals. If you had a different opinion on a subject about sports, you probably were never going to win an argument with her.
Doris was preceded in death by Jerry, her parents, brothers Jim and Bruce, and sister Margaret. She is survived by her son, David, her sister, Ruth, and her sisters-in-law Suzanne Gehring and Peggy Squibbs. Her survivors also include numerous nieces and nephews, and a great many friends.
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, October 30th at 1:00 pm in the Hager Hall of Asbury United Methodist Church located at 5400 W 75th Street, Prairie Village, Kansas. Memorials in Dottie’s honor may be given to Asbury United Methodist Church, 5400 W. 75th St., Prairie Village, KS 66208Doris married Squibbs, Gerald G "Jerry" on 3 Sep 1960 in Columbia, Boone, Missouri, USA. Gerald was born in 1933 in Missouri, USA; died in Sep 1992 in Kansas City, Jackson, Missouri, USA; was buried in Sep 1992 in Johnson County Memorial Park Cemetery, Overland Park, Johnson, Kansas, USA.

Ellen L. Kohtz, daughter of Donald and Margaret (McQuigg) Miller, was born July 11, 1948 at Paullina, IA. She lived many places with her family, moving for her father’s work. She spent many summers with her grandparents on a lake in Minnesota where she learned to water ski and fish; skills that she spent her lifetime enjoying. In 1966, she graduated from Beatrice High School in southeast Nebraska. She attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education and graduated with distinction in 1970.
On May 31, 1969, Ellen married James H. Kohtz at Lincoln, NE. They made their home in Lincoln, where Ellen began her 44 year career teaching English at Pius X High School. They moved to Albion in 1978, where she continued teaching high school and middle school English classes at Albion Public School (later Boone Central School), retiring in 2014. Along with her love of teaching, she had a great passion for the art of Speech and coached many individuals and teams to championship titles. She was coordinator of the annual Color Day Coronation for many years, dedicated countless hours writing grant proposals to secure funds for various organization and causes, along with serving many years on the Nebraska State Education Association Negotiation Committee. In addition to teaching, she was a lifelong learner. She enjoyed taking classes in the summer and spent much of her free time reading books.
Ellen had many interests and hobbies, which she typically participated in with her husband Jim. They enjoyed taking in events regularly at the Omaha Symphony and the Omaha Playhouse. They traveled extensively throughout North America, along with trips to Europe, Asia, Central America, South America and Iceland visiting interesting places, but Machu Picchu in Peru and the country of Switzerland, were some of her favorites. Above all else, her family was most important to her.
She is survived by her loving husband, Jim Kohtz of Albion; three sons: Chris (Heather) Kohtz of Albion; Jeff Kohtz of Albion; Phil Kohtz of Cheongju, South Korea; two granddaughters: Lauren and Kathryn Kohtz of Albion; along with nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.

Notes:
For any of you who were unable to attend Jim's memorial service today, I wanted to attach the eulogy my husband, Pete, wrote for his good friend. Thank you again to Jay Walker for reading this in Pete's absence. In spite of the great sadness we all felt, it was a beautiful service. RIP Big JIm.
Here is the letter that was read:
I first met Jim in the summer of 1982 when I was working at Bud’s Amoco in Huxley, IA. As I am sure all of you will agree, meeting Jim for the first time is something you never forget. I remember standing in amazement as this huge truck with speed-boat attached pulled in for gas. As I walked out to his truck, I remember his boat had a motor big enough for 3 boats and enough beer coolers in the back for a spring break beach party. I was sure I couldn’t have been more in awe until from behind the gas pump appeared a giant of a man who reached out with a hand so big that when he shook mine it felt more like he was shaking my arm.
Immediately, he began asking me everything about my past- where I grew up, where I went to school and who my parents where. When Jim asked you something about your past he never forgot it. Little did I know that this day was the beginning of a friendship that would last for many years.
Over the next 6 years, I looked forward to the weekly conversations I had with Jim when he stopped in at the gas station. I can remember the day I told Jim that I was moving to Iowa City to attend Medical school at the University of Iowa. I am sure each of you can imagine the lecture I received from Jim, who everyone knows was a die-hard ISU alum. I must admit I took a verbal beating, but I also remember how proud he was of me when he shook my hand and wished me the best.
I always thought our paths would meet again, but little did I know it would be at one of Rick Putska’a wild game feeds and over a bowl of split beaver-tail soup. I can remember how happy I was to see Jim again but also how impressed I was that he remembered almost everything we had talked about 6 years prior. It was also at this time when I first met Sheryl. Over the next 20 years, Jim and Sheryl became close friends with my wife, Liz, and me. The memories we created together are some of the most cherished we have. Boating trips down the Mississippi river and fishing trips up in Ashland, Minnesota were always filled with Jim’s constant joking and laughter.
Jim just had a way of having fun and making those around him feel lucky to have him as a friend. It was fun to sit and have a beer with Jim, who commanded the room and the people around him, because he just enjoyed people. I must say I learned quickly that trying to keep up with Jim beer-for-beer was like trying to win the Boston Marathon by crawling thru the entire race… Impossible!
I always knew when Jim stopped by the clinic to visit. His voice and the laughter he created carried itself thru the office as Jim made his rounds from the front staff to the back offices. No one was safe when it came to his jokes about how short we all were or how we never let him eat the foods he wanted. Jim talked tough, but my nurses all said he was just a big Teddy Bear. It was obvious that Jim loved people, but it is more apparent that people loved Jim. He was always generous with his time, his resources, his compliments and a lesson for us all on how to live life to the fullest.
Everyone who knew Jim realized that two of his loves where hunting and fishing but more than these, his true loves in life where his wife Sheryl and his children. It was impossible to have a conversation with Jim that didn’t include him bragging about his family and their adventures and accomplishments. You young people made him so proud. Bryce, Janae and D.J., I hope you know that. I know he would want you to pick up and move ahead in a positive direction, in spite of the obvious hardships you have endured in the past few years, you can do this with the love and assistance from your family and friends. We’re all here for you.
And we all know how much he loved Sheryl-taking such protective and loving care of her as she battled brain cancer for 5 years and holding his family together through it all. To Jim, family meant everything, and it was obvious that Sheryl and his children were on a pedestal that only Jim was tall enough to reach.
We all have our own memories that we created with Jim. Whether he was your family member, your Ankeny High School or ISU basketball teammate, your insurance agent, your financial advisor, your hunting, fishing or boating friend, your neighbor, or just your friend--he wore many hats for sure. Fortunately for us, there will always be moments in our lives that will make us relive these memories and make us smile, but more importantly; make us realize that we are all better people because Jim was a part of our lives. It is these memories that we will cherish and hold onto so Jim will live forever in our hearts and minds.

Obituary
Mary M. Wennerstrum
Des Moines - Mary was born in Sioux Falls, SD to Donald L. and Margaret (McQuigg) Miller. After moving several times, the Miller's settled in Ankeny where Mary graduated from Ankeny High School.
Mary attended Iowa State for a year, and then DMACC, where she graduated with her Assoc. Arts in Lib Arts, this is also where she met her husband to be, Brook.
Mary took after her Grandma 'Hattie' and was a consummate gardener, constantly planting vegetables and canning produce annually.
Married in 1980, living in the Des Moines area, son Jaimeson was born, shortly thereafter, a move to Boone, IA where Brian was born. Relocating to Des Moines before the boys were grade school age, remaining there in several different houses- always working on them- another 'hobby' picked up from her father- leaving them in better condition than which she found them.
Mary went back to DMACC and received her AA in Hotel/Motel management, with the idea of purchasing a resort. Locating a desirable property in N. Minnesota, which eventually fell through after moving to the locale, setting up house on an acreage. The garden spot was located with plenty of sun, with fantastic soil for root crops and berries, but a very short growing season. Mary also became a Worm Farmer, and Peddler of castings! The stay in MN was rather short, as Mary accepted a position with YFU in Des Moines.
Mary's interests varied widely, from theater and movies to gardening and fishing and politics. Most recently RV camping with a group that came to be known as the 'Tribe'. The outdoors and gardening were her escape and Spiritual place; but all those came behind her love for her grandchildren.
Mary is survived by husband Brook, sons Jaimeson (Maria) granddaughters Nina and Annika; son Brian (Michelle) and Claire and Colton.
Preceding her in death were parents Donald L Miller and Margaret Miller, sister Ellen Kohtz, and brother James D. Miller.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Feb. 19, 2022, at noon at 1400 Penn Ave., Des Moines.
