Catherine Louise Scurr
Catherine Louise Scurr was born October 30, 1915 in Burlington, Iowa. Her parents were Robert Boniface Sutter and Henrietta Adams. She grew up in various railroad communities across Illinois and Iowa. She graduated from Galesburg HS, at the age of 16, in 1932, in Galesburg, Illinois. Catherine attended one year of college in Galesburg before moving to Creston, Iowa, where she worked at various positions at Spurgeon’s Department store for the next few years. She married Howard T. Scurr, Jr. on February 26, 1940, in Ottumwa, Iowa. Catherine had a passion for helping people and chose nursing as her profession. She attended nursing school at Passavant Hospital in Jacksonville, Illinois, while her husband served as a medical officer (dentist) in the European Theater of WW II. Soon after the end of the war, they began their family and raised four children, Robert, David, Le and Bonnie in Oskaloosa, Iowa, until 1964, when they moved back to Burlington, Iowa, where Howard continued practicing dentistry. In Burlington, Catherine began her nursing career in earnest, where she cared for newborn babies in the nursery on the OB/GYN floor at Mercy Hospital.
Catherine loved cooking for family, crocheting and knitting family gifts and socializing with friends and family. Catherine and Howard loved to travel (especially by train) and spent several vacations in Florida, Texas, and California. In 1997, she and Howard moved to The Meadows (a retirement community) in Worthington, MN. They enjoyed going out for meals with family and friends, spending time at the cabin with daughter, Le, and family and continued to travel to the Black Hills, Seattle and throughout Minnesota. A year after Howard’s death in 2004, Catherine moved to Lakeview Assisted Living in Heron Lake, MN. She loved the staff and residents of Lakeview and always told people, “I have so many good friends surrounding me.”

Maxine "Mickey" Malone
Maxine “Mickey” Mavis Malone was born on the Berryman farm south of Jackson in Middletown Township, on December 31, 1919. She was a New Year’s Eve baby, so she always said everyone celebrated her birthday. The fourth child in a family of six, she was the daughter of Bert and Esther (Harper) Berryman. She said her Grandpa Berryman always called her his little Irish Mick and the name stuck. She was a tomboy and worked in her Dad’s grocery store as a girl, where she became street wise and learned a good deal about life and people. She loved being outdoors, ice skating on the river, swimming in the old eastside pool and also loved horses. Mickey attended Jackson Schools and graduated in the Class of 1937. She was married to John D. Malone on October 4, 1940 at the St. Wenceslaus Parsonage and they spent their entire life in Jackson. She and Johnny spent almost 20 years after their retirement traveling in their RV and they enjoyed meeting new people from all over the country. Johnny passed away on March 12, 2013. Mickey passed away at Good Samaritan Society- Jackson on Sunday, April 28, 2013 at the age of 93 years, three months and twenty-eight days.
Mickey was a homemaker all her life and did work for some years at the Sperry Univac plant in Jackson. She was very handy and there wasn’t anything she couldn’t or didn’t attempt to fix. She always told her children and grandchildren there is no such word as “can’t”. Mickey spent many hours working jig saw puzzles and doing word find books. Anyone that knew Mickey could attest that she was out-spoken and feisty, but she had a heart of gold and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. She enjoyed all types of music and especially loved spending time with her family. All her family and friends looked forward to her delicious popcorn balls and fudge at the holidays. Her grandchildren will miss her spunk and famous quotes and most of all, her smile. She was one of a kind.
