Dean Lanckton, 86, of Flanagan, IL, passed away peacefully on October 3, 2026. Born February 10, 1940, in Decatur, IL, Dean was the son of Forrest and Leota (Littleton) Lanckton.

Dean dedicated his life to education and to the communities he served. He attended Millikin University, graduating in 1962, and later earned a master’s degree in Chemistry and Physics from Union College in Schenectady, NY; and a master’s degree in Computer Science from DePaul University. His teaching career began in 1962 as a mathematics teacher in the Decatur Public Schools. He went on to spend the next 50 years serving the Cornell-Flanagan school districts, where he taught, supported generations of students and families, and ultimately served as the district’s IT Manager. His career was defined by an enduring curiosity, a love of learning, and a willingness to embrace both the changing world of education and the changing technology that supported it.

Dean was a man who valued knowledge, hard work, family and loyalty. His impact extended well beyond the classroom and school district. Over more than five decades in education, he touched countless lives through his teaching, mentorship, service and quiet dedication to helping others.

Above all, Dean was devoted to his family. He is survived by his four children: Dionne Dingerson (Tim) of Normal, IL; Dichele Wilzbach (Brian) of Naperville, IL; Deanndre Gabor (Brian) of Pontiac, IL; and Dikera Gutierrez (Sam) of Bolingbrook, IL. He was a proud grandfather to Delaney Perez-Urbina (Ivan) of Melrose Park, IL; Luke Dingerson of Bloomington, IL; Brevin Wilzbach of Naperville, IL; and Bergen Wilzbach of Naperville, IL. He is also survived by his great-grandson, Killian Perez-Urbina.

Dean was an avid dog lover, and his dogs were an important part of his life and family. He was preceded in death by his beloved dogs Algebra, Sugar, Juneau, Lexi and Bobo.

Dean’s life was one of service, learning, family and lasting relationships. From the classroom to the school district offices, from mathematics and science to the emerging world of technology, he spent more than half a century contributing to the education and lives of others. His legacy will live on not only through the many students and colleagues whose lives he influenced, but most importantly through his children, grandchildren and great-grandson.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his family, friends, former students, colleagues and all those fortunate enough to have known him.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, October 10th at 1 p.m. at Duffy-Baier-Snedecor Funeral Home in Pontiac. Visitation will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the funeral home.

Donna L. Smith, 95, of Pontiac, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at 8:11p.m. at her home. She was born October 7, 1930, at home in Eppards Point Township, as the only daughter of Elmer and Myrtle (Ehrhardt) Schultz. Her twin brother, Ronald, was born the night prior to her on October 6. Despite being twins, they celebrated their birthdays on different days with two different cakes.

Donna married Clifford E. Smith on June 8, 1952, in Pontiac. They enjoyed 64 years together. He preceded her in death on October 5, 2016.

Donna attended two country schools for grade school, Eppards Point Center School and Ocoya School. She was a 1948 graduate of Pontiac Township High School. She studied at Illinois Wesleyan and received her bachelor’s degree from Illinois State University. She then taught business, first in Danvers, Coal City, and then 21 more years at Thornridge High School in Dolton, IL. Upon their retirement, Donna and Cliff spent 30 years wintering in Port St. Lucie, Florida. She was an avid golfer. Donna loved crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, reading, and card playing. She and her husband held season tickets for the Chicago Bears for 30+ years and also cheered for the Cubs.

Donna was a member of Pontiac Methodist Church, former member of Pontiac Ladies Elks Golf Club and Club Med Women’s Golf Association of Port St. Lucie. She was very talented musically, skilled in the marimba, the trumpet, organ, and piano. Donna was also a fabulous quilter. She hand-sewed countless square blocks for 66 years, making 67 quilts in sizes from baby to king. Applique was her favorite, never using a machine.

Donna touched many people’s lives with her great compassion, kindness, generosity, quick wit and sense of humor. She carried herself with quiet certainty, always knowing what she wanted and what she didn’t – determined, caring, loving, and full of joy. Her memory was sharp throughout her life. She could still name her teachers even from grade school! We will deeply miss her and her stories, her quick wit, and her competitiveness in playing cards and games. We shall always toast her with a margarita and a glass of Lindeman’s Chardonnay.

Remaining to cherish Donna’s memory are her daughter-in-law, Feng Liu-Smith of Germantown, TN; granddaughters, Kathy Guo of Peoria, IL, Judy Guo (Adam Rogers) of Ireland; sister-in-law, Lois Yahr of El Cajon, CA; and her nieces and nephews, Sue Ledford, Lauri Ruff, Lynn Watson, Anne Bourgeois, Diane Engel, Nancy Myers, Denny Schultz, Janet Cermak and Bill Schultz.

Donna was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Clifford; son, Jeffrey Smith in 2022; and her twin brother, Ronald, and brothers, Virgil in infancy, Raymond, and Norman.

In accordance with her wishes, there will be no end of life services. A private graveside ceremony will be held on Monday, August 10, 2026. Calvert & Martin Funeral Home of Pontiac has been entrusted with the arrangements.

Memorials in Donna’s name may be made to the Pontiac Elks Junior Golf, the Pontiac Public Library, or the Pontiac Methodist Church.
