Donald Joseph Colvin Sr.

Donald Joseph Colvin Sr., went to his heavenly home on October 17, 2026, just two days shy of his 85th birthday, leaving behind a lifetime of cherished memories and a legacy of love, kindness, and devotion to his family.

Don was born on October 19, 1941, in New Albany, Indiana, to Fred and Helen (Craney) Colvin. Following his graduation, he proudly served in the National Guard. A hardworking and determined man, Don built a successful career in sales management and was instrumental in helping establish the local A&R Hardware store. He possessed a natural understanding of business, a strong work ethic, and a gift for making the most of every opportunity.

On November 5, 1993, Don married Wanda (Gress) Colvin, and together they shared a beautiful life filled with love, laughter, and companionship.

Don was a man who found happiness in life's simple pleasures. An enthusiastic sports fan, Don had a love for NASCAR racing, football, and basketball, and could always appreciate the excitement of a good game. He also took great pride in caring for his yard, finding peace and satisfaction in watching the things he planted grow and flourish. Though he was happiest in the comfort of his own home, nothing brought him greater joy than being surrounded by the people he loved.

Above all, Don was a family man. His children and grandchildren held a special place in his heart, and the time he spent with them was among his greatest treasures. He had a wonderful sense of humor and a playful spirit, always ready with a little teasing or a clever remark to bring a smile to someone's face. Rarely one to lose his temper, Don carried himself with a calm and easygoing nature that made others feel comfortable in his presence. He was loving, thoughtful, and generous with his wisdom, always willing to offer sound advice or a helping hand when it was needed.

Don was a member of St. Peter Catholic Church. His life was a beautiful reminder that true happiness is often found in the simplest moments, the love we share, the laughter we create, and the memories we leave behind. While his family will deeply miss his familiar smile, gentle presence, and steady guidance, they will forever carry the warmth of his love in their hearts.

Those left to cherish Don's memory include his loving wife, Wanda Colvin; his children, Donald “Joe” Colvin Jr., Cindy Colvin, and Lori Ann Gluck; and his grandchildren, Brandon Colvin, Dustin Gluck (Barb Creasey), Megan (Dakota) Corado, and Andrew (Charlie) Gluck.

Don was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Helen Colvin; his sister, Linda Troutman; and his beloved grandson, Ryan Gluck.

Though Don's earthly journey has come to an end, the love he gave, the lessons he taught, and the countless smiles he inspired will remain with his family for generations to come.

Visitation for Don will be held on Friday, October 23, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Ed L. Lee Mortuary. A funeral service will immediately follow at 1:00 p.m., with Father James Koressel officiating. Burial will follow at St. Peter Cemetery.

Gage Harrison Auberry

Gage Harrison Auberry, 25, went to his heavenly home on October 12, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of cherished memories and a love that will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him.

Gage was born on July 7, 2001, in Washington, Indiana, to Jessica Roark and Jacob Auberry.

To know Gage was to love him. He had a smile that could brighten even the darkest of days, a heart full of kindness, and a way of making everyone around him feel special. His fun-loving personality, sweet nature, and warm, welcoming hugs were just a few of the things that made him so unforgettable. Gage never needed to be the center of attention to light up a room; his presence alone was enough. He had a beautiful way of bringing joy to others, and those fortunate enough to have been wrapped in one of his hugs knew just how much love he had to give.

Gage found happiness in the simple wonders of life. He loved being outdoors, surrounded by nature, and enjoyed exploring historical places and discovering the stories they held. He had a passion for lifting weights and was an enthusiastic football fan, proudly cheering on his Indiana Hoosiers and Seattle Seahawks. Whether he was enjoying the beauty of the outdoors, spending time with those he loved, or simply sharing a laugh, Gage embraced the moments that made life special.

Above all, Gage will be remembered for the love he gave so freely. He had a gentle heart, a contagious smile, and a spirit that left a lasting impression on everyone he met. His life, though far too short, was filled with moments of laughter, friendship, and love. While his family and friends would give anything for just one more smile, one more laugh, or one more of his unforgettable hugs, they will forever carry those precious memories close to their hearts.

Gage leaves behind his loving mother, Jessica Roark; his girlfriend, Nichole Williams, and her three children, Liam, Addy, and Ayden; his siblings, Laila and Presly “PJ” Thompson; his grandparents, Tim (Debbie) Roark and John (Sherry) Auberry; his aunt, Chandra Auberry, and cousins, Alexa, Kainen, and Kingstin; his uncle, Adam Roark, and family; and his special cousin, Dillon Roark. He also leaves behind his best friend, Julius Hardiman, and his family, Macy and Malik Hardiman, along with many others whose lives were made brighter simply by knowing him.

He was preceded in death by his father, Jacob Auberry; his paternal great-grandfather; and his maternal great-grandparents.

Though Gage's time here on earth was much too brief, the love he shared will never fade. His beautiful smile will live on in the memories of those who loved him, his laughter will echo in their hearts, and the warmth of his hugs will never be forgotten.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. at Ed L. Lee Mortuary with a memorial service honoring Gage’s life at 2:00 p.m. with Pastor Brad Rainey officiating.

Jeffery L. McCallum

On September 24, 2026, our family said goodbye to a man who was so much more than a Husband, Father, Papa, Son, Friend and Brother. Jeff was a home. He was the person whose presence made ordinary days feel special, whose love held our family together and whose absence has left a space that can never truly be filled.

Jeff was born on January 21, 1968, to James Donlevy McCallum and Sharon Kay Wasalaski. On April 26, 1986, he married the love of his life and his best friend, Cindy McCallum. From that day forward, they built a life together. One filled with love, family, memories, laughter, challenges, and countless moments that will now be treasured more than ever.

Jeff’s greatest joy in life was his family. He never needed anything fancy to be happy. His favorite place to be was wherever his family was. He loved spending time with the people he loved and some of his happiest moments were simply being surrounded by them or getting the call for some “Quality time.”

And then there were his Grandchildren.

They were the apple of his eye.

There was a special kind of love in the way Papa looked at his Grandchildren.

Zachariah, Lilyana, Zammis, Delilah, Elora, and Emma brought light to his life that was impossible to miss. They weren’t simply his Grandchildren—they were pieces of his heart. Every memory they made with him will become a part of the legacy he leaves behind.

Jeff found happiness in life’s simple pleasures. Finding a good deal on clearance, taking a nap on his grandma’s porch swing at the cabin or casting a pole or two salmon fishing. He loved sitting on his porch, settling in with a stogie in hand and losing himself in a game on his phone. These little pieces of his everyday life may seem simple, but they are exactly the memories his family will hold onto—the moments that made him—HIM.

He was the kind of man whose absence will be felt in the little things.

In the empty chair.

On the porch.

In the quiet moments when someone reaches for the phone to share something with him.

In the family gatherings where everyone instinctively looks for him.

In the stories that begin with “Remember when Dad……”

And in the hearts of six Grandchildren who will grow up carrying their Papa’s love with them.

Jeff leaves behind his beloved wife Cindy, who shared more than 40 years of marriage and a lifetime of memories with him. His children, Timothy (Meghan), Melissa, and Stephanie. His Grandchildren, Zachariah, Lilyana, Zammis, Delilah, Elora, and Emma. His loyal family dog Daisy, and six brothers, Steve, Scott, Rob, Tony, Mervyn, Chris and James McCallum. Along with many nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents, James D. McCallum and Sharon K. Wasalaski. His in-laws, Lila M. and Robert E. Hoeksema. His grandparents, Phyllis and Ambrose Wasalaski. And his faithful family dogs Noel and Sweetie.

Jeff has now gone to be with his grandmother and those who were waiting for him on the other side. While our hearts ache because we wanted more time, we can take comfort in knowing that the love he gave us does not end with his passing.

A Father’s love doesn’t disappear.

A Grandfather’s love doesn’t disappear.

A Husband’s love doesn’t disappear.

A Brother’s love doesn’t disappear.

It stays in the stories we tell, in the lessons he taught us, in the laughter we remember, and in every piece of ourselves that came from knowing him.

DAD, PAPA, HUSBAND, BROTHER—WE WEREN’T READY TO LET YOU GO.

Marjorie "Sue" Wingfield

Marjorie Sue Wingfield, 87, went to her heavenly home on September 21, 2026.

Sue was born on October 9, 1938, in Washington, Indiana, to Martin “Pete” and Mary Alice (Baumert) Reel.

On February 18, 1956, Sue married the love of her life, Thomas Wingfield. Together, they built a beautiful life and shared 58 wonderful years of marriage until his passing in 2014. Their years together were filled with family, love, and many cherished memories, including motorcycle trips they enjoyed taking together.

Sue spent 37 years at Jay C Food Store, where she retired as Head Cashier. Never one to sit still for long, she later worked as Bar Manager at the Eagles during her retirement years. Her warm and personable nature made it easy for Sue to know people wherever she went, and she had a way of making others feel welcome.

Affectionately known as “Suzy Q,” Sue was truly a lady in every sense of the word. She was classy, kind, loving, and carried herself with a grace that was uniquely her own. Above all, she was a devoted mother and grandmother whose family meant everything to her. Her love extended far beyond titles and generations, and she had a special way of making those around her feel cared for.

Sue knew how to enjoy life. She loved bowling, bingo, trips to the casino, and Sunday card games. Some of her most treasured times were simply spent with family. She especially cherished the bond she shared with her three sisters and the time they spent together through the years. Sue also had a soft spot for her sons-in-law, whom she loved dearly. She even had plenty of love to spare for her beloved fish, Gilbert, who held a special place in her heart.

Sue was a member of the Eagles, American Legion, Knights of Columbus, Moose Lodge, and VFW. Her faith was an important part of her life, and she was a faithful member of Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church.

Those left to cherish Sue’s memory include her daughters, Becky (Tim) Ash, Brenda (Bill) Devine, Pam (Rock) Showalter, and Tommi (Jack) Hamilton; 16 grandchildren; 40 great-grandchildren; 11 great-great-grandchildren; and her sisters, Debbie Baker and Cheryl (Shannon) Higgins. Her large and loving family stands as a beautiful reflection of the life and legacy she leaves behind.

Sue was preceded in death by her parents, Martin “Pete” and Mary Alice Reel; her beloved husband, Thomas Wingfield; her son, Thomas Wingfield Jr.; her brother, David Reel; her sister, Georgia Austin; her granddaughters, Andrea Boes and Rachael Graves; her great-grandson, Memphis Riker; her great-great-grandchildren, Daisy and Ryan Riker; and her brothers-in-law, Clay Baker and Ronald “Ratchet” Austin.

Sue leaves behind a lifetime of memories and a family that was blessed to call her Mom, Grandma, and “Suzy Q.” She will be remembered for her kindness, her humor, her unmistakable class, and the love she so freely gave. Her presence will be deeply missed, but the grace, laughter, and love she brought into the lives of others will continue through the many generations of the family she treasured so dearly.

Visitation for Sue will be held on Friday, September 25, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. until 10:50 a.m. at Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m., with Father Tyler Underhill serving as celebrant. Burial will follow at St. John Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Sue’s honor to the Evansville Cancer Center, 700 N. Burkhardt Road, Evansville, IN 47715.

Jackie "Jack" Wayne Tincher

Jackie “Jack” Wayne Tincher, 67, passed away on September 14, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of laughter, cherished memories, and countless people whose days were made a little brighter simply by knowing him.

Jack was born on October 12, 1958, in Washington, Indiana, to Carolyn and Jack Tincher.

Jack spent many years on the road as a truck driver for Hillcrest Supply and TKM Trucking before retiring. Although his driving days eventually came to an end, his love for semi-trucks never did. He enjoyed collecting model semis and attending truck shows whenever he had the chance. It was a passion that remained close to his heart throughout his life.

When Jack wasn’t admiring a good-looking truck, he could often be found enjoying the outdoors, especially with a fishing pole in hand. He also loved riding around on his golf cart with his dog, Sky faithfully by his side. He was also an avid NASCAR fan, with Dale Earnhardt holding the top spot as his favorite driver, and he faithfully cheered on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

More than any hobby or interest, however, Jack will be remembered for the joy he brought to the people around him. He was funny, outgoing, and almost always in good spirits. Jack was the life of the party and had a natural way of making people laugh. Whether through a joke, a story, or simply being himself, he was always looking for a way to put a smile on someone’s face or brighten their day. His fun-loving personality made him easy to love and difficult to forget.

Jack also had a very special place in his heart for his beloved dog, Sky. She was his constant companion and a treasured part of his family, bringing him tremendous happiness and companionship.

Those left to cherish Jack’s memory include his wife, Lori (Folsom) Tincher; his children, Natasha (Hunter) Gaines, Austin (Heavenlea) Roland, Shawn (Pat) Bridges, Matthew Smith, and Daniel Tincher; his stepchildren, Michael Veller and Shanice (Mark) Helleums; 11 grandchildren; one great-grandchild; his siblings, Kim (Mike) Gogel, Lori (Shannon) Wininger, and Regina Andis; as well as several nieces, nephews, extended family members, and many friends.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents, Carolyn and Jack Tincher; and his sister, Tammy Tincher.

Those who knew Jack will remember his laughter, his good spirits, and the way he could bring life to any gathering. He leaves behind many wonderful memories and a family and circle of friends who will deeply miss the laughter, love, and happiness he brought into their lives.

Visitation for Jack will be held on Thursday, September 17, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at Ed L. Lee Mortuary. A funeral service will begin at 7:00 p.m., with Pastor Brad Rainey officiating. Cremation will follow.

George Ernest Strange

George Ernest Strange, 91, went to his heavenly home on September 12, 2026.

George was born on June 16, 1935, to George Walstine and Elizabeth Rose (Wilson) Strange in a log cabin in Corning, Indiana. He graduated from Washington Catholic High School with the Class of 1953. On January 23, 1954, George married the love of his life, Leanna Jean (Davis) Strange. That same year, he joined the United States Army, proudly serving his country.

George and Leanna built a wonderful life together, raising their family and sharing 50 years of marriage before her passing on March 23, 2004. His love and devotion to Leanna remained an important part of his life throughout the years.

A hardworking and dependable man, George spent more than 30 years with the United States Postal Service. During much of that time, he also worked at Palmer Electric, something he took great pride in. George believed in working hard and providing for his family, and he was proud of the fact that he worked two jobs for many years. Even retirement couldn't keep him from staying busy, and after leaving the Postal Service, he went on to work at General Rental.

George was quiet by nature, but those who knew him knew they could always count on him. He enjoyed fishing, cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals, and, most of all, spending time with his family. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought him great joy, and the time spent with them was among his greatest treasures.

George was a member of Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church and a former member of the St. John Cemetery Board.

Those left to cherish George's memory include his sons, Mark Ernest (Maureen) Strange and Roger Dale (Maria Patricia) Strange; grandchildren, Michael Ernest (Elisa) Strange, Matthew Emmett (Cindy) Strange, Mandy Elizabeth Strange, Mitchell Edward (Megan) Strange, Cecilia Maria Strange, and Anthony James Strange; six great-grandchildren; and extended family and friends.

George was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Leanna Jean Strange; his parents, George Walstine and Elizabeth Rose Strange; his stepfather, Frank Pettigrew; and his sister, Mary Louise Buening.

George will be remembered as a quiet and steady presence—a hardworking man who took pride in providing for those he loved and who found his greatest happiness in the simple things: family, fishing, a Cardinals game, and time spent with the people who meant the most to him. His dependable nature, strong work ethic, and love for his family will remain a lasting part of the legacy he leaves behind.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church, with Father Paul Ferguson serving as celebrant.

Lois Hart

Lois B. Hart went to her heavenly home on September 11, 2026.

Lois was born on September 30, 1931, in Burns City, Indiana, to Floyd “Casey” and Helen (Lents) Jones. She graduated from Loogootee High School and later married the love of her life, Robert “Bob” Hart, whom she first met at the skating rink when they were teenagers. The two were married on March 15, 1952, and together raised six children and built a wonderful life centered around faith, family, and a deep love for one another. Lois remained devoted to Bob throughout their 55 years of marriage until his passing on April 29, 2007.

Lois was a humble, caring woman who genuinely enjoyed people. She was sociable and always kept herself busy, but when someone needed her, she rose to the occasion without hesitation. She never sought recognition for the things she did; helping others was simply part of who she was.

While raising her family was always her most important role, Lois also worked outside the home. In her earlier years, she tended to the hen house before later working as a secretary at Uniroyal, where she eventually retired. She enjoyed gardening, cooking and baking, playing cards with her card clubs, and, most of all, spending time with her family.

Her faith was an important part of her life. Lois was a member of All Saints Catholic Church, the Altar Society, and several prayer groups. She quietly lived her faith through her kindness, humility, and willingness to care for those around her.

Those left to cherish Lois’s memory include her daughters, Karen (John) Olsen and Jamie A***s; sons, Kevin Hart, Brett Hart, Jeff Hart, and Brian (Michelle) Hart; grandchildren, Keshena (Neil), Erik, Nick, Kelsey, Zach (Allison), Kelli, Marie, Kalena, and Jessica; eight great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.

Lois was preceded in death by her parents, Floyd “Casey” and Helen Jones; her beloved husband, Robert “Bob” Hart; her son-in-law, John A***s; and her siblings, Barbara Allen, Maudie McRoberts, Orum Jones, and Lee Jones.

Lois leaves behind the memory of a life well lived—a life filled with family, faith, friendship, and service to others. She will be remembered for her humble heart, her willingness to lend a hand, and especially for the love she had for Bob and the family they created together.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at St. Peter Catholic Church, with Father Steven McGinnis officiating. Visitation will be held at the church from 9:00 a.m. until the time of Mass. Burial will follow at St. Peter Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Lois’s memory to the Travis Burkhart Foundation or Daviess County Right to Life.

Tena J. Williams

Tena J. Williams went to her heavenly home on August 31, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of laughter, love, and wonderful memories shared with the many people who were fortunate enough to know her.

Tena was born on February 20, 1956 to Ambrose “Hootie” and Nancy (Myers) Dant in Washington, Indiana. She graduated from Washington High School with the Class of 1974 and continued her education at Vincennes University, where she earned an associate degree in accounting. Tena spent more than 25 years working in sales, a career well suited to her outgoing personality and natural way with people.

To know Tena was to know laughter. She had a wonderful sense of humor, an infectious laugh, and a smile that could brighten any room she walked into. She had a way of making people feel comfortable and welcome, and her fun-loving spirit made her someone people simply enjoyed being around. So many knew and loved her as “Aunt Tena,” whether they were related by blood or simply lucky enough to be loved by her.

Tena was also incredibly talented and seemed to have a gift for just about anything she put her hands to. She enjoyed sewing and crocheting, cooking and baking, and settling in with a good book. Whether she was creating something beautiful, making something delicious, sharing a laugh, or spending time with the people she loved, Tena brought her own special touch to everything she did.

Above all, Tena will be remembered for the joy she brought into the lives of others. She was funny, loving, talented, and full of life. Her contagious laughter, bright smile, and unforgettable personality made an impression that will remain with those who loved her long after her passing. The world is a little quieter without her laughter in it, but the love and happiness she gave so freely will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and friends.

Those left to cherish Tena’s memory include her mother, Nancy Dant; sister, Mona (Jeff) Barnard; sister-in-law, Cathy Dant; nieces and nephews, Courtney (John) Memering, Patrick (Natasha) Dant, Angela (Aric) Mitchell, Aubrey (David) Riddle, and Craig (Darah) Dant; along with several beloved great-nieces and great-nephews and the many others who lovingly knew her as “Aunt Tena.”

Tena was preceded in death by her father, Ambrose “Hootie” Dant; her beloved son, Brock Williams; her brother, Tim Dant; and her beloved dog and faithful companion, Rocky, who held a very special place in her heart.

Tena leaves behind far more than memories—she leaves behind the laughter she shared, the love she gave, and a little bit of her light in every life she touched. Those who knew and loved Aunt Tena will forever be able to hear that contagious laugh, remember that beautiful smile, and be grateful for the joy of having had her in their lives.

Visitation for Tena will be held on Thursday, September 3, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at Ed L. Lee Mortuary. A funeral service will immediately follow at 1:00 p.m., with Yvonne Evans officiating.

Burial will follow at St. John Cemetery.
