He served in the Army which included 27 months overseas working on the Burma Road. During WWII, Eileen was the definition of the war bride; she followed Jean in service to their country by working a number of various jobs. From ammunition inspections at Western Cartridge Company in Wood River, Illinois, testing mortar shells in Port Clinton, Ohio to being Rosy the Riveter on B-29 airplanes in Detroit, Eileen did her part. She also worked at U.S. Rubber building tires, Nabisco Cookies in Georgia, and as a waitress in Pomona, CA and Cheyenne, WY. Following the war, she and Jean returned to Iowa where they farmed and raised their seven children. She was a true partner in farming as well as a homemaker and gardener.

When Jean was employed away from the farm, she was an able farm manager and made executive decisions such as purchasing their first big round baler. Growing up during the depression, Eileen passed on the core values of thriftiness and self-reliance to her family. Gardening was always part of that plan and a way of life to her. With the help of family, she even enjoyed looking after a small garden visible from her assisted-living apartment in Amana, waiting for that first ripe tomato or cucumber! She was always prepared to feed a crowd, keeping her fruit room, pantry shelves, and freezers full. To say that Eileen was a hard worker is just the tip of the iceberg; she enjoyed square dancing, bowling, the outdoors, camping, fishing, and oh yes those huge family picnics! Nothing in this world was more important to her than her family, she was so proud of Jean, her children and as grandchildren and great-grandchildren came along, "Grandma" was her favorite title in this world; she loved them dearly, and will be missed by all. She and Jean enjoyed 67 years of marriage. They were also blessed to live in a neighborhood and community that shared fun times and supported each other in times of need. They got together for cards, sledding, and picnics, as well as farming work projects such as haymaking and corn shelling. Her family includes her children, JoAnne (Dan) Downes of Oxford, Janet Whaley of Stanwood, Richard (Debbie) Bryant of Oxford, Jim (Cathlene) Bryant of Parnell, Randy (Sandy) Bryant of Oxford, Janelle (David) Campbell of Oxford, Keith Bryant of Williamsburg; 20 grandchildren; and 19 great-grandchildren; sister, Evelyn Gegenheimer of Oxford; brother, Gene Shebetka of Walford; a brother-in-law, Ray Bryant and his wife, Bonnie of Layton, Utah, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, Jean; son-in-law, Victor Whaley; great-grandson Alex Myers and her sister, Dorothy Hospodarsky. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Friday, December 7, 2012, at the St. Mary's Auditorium in Oxford, with burial to follow at the Oxford Cemetery.

She compiled her work, "John Taylor Kermicle -- His Ancestors and Descendants", on her manual typewriter. At the end of the book, Eileen wrote a dedication to her Grandma Kate. "...She proved to be a 'farmers wife'. She saw the hardships that were an expected part of pioneer life. She was a very sturdy individual and always trying to be helpful. ...She raised her children in a good Christian home, these principles helping to carry them through many 'dark days'".

Eileen Bryant, 89, of Oxford, died Tuesday, December 4, 2012, at the Colonial Manor Care Center in Amana.

Eileen Shebetka was born October 10, 1923, in Oxford, the daughter of Martin and Lillian (Schropp) Shebetka. Growing up here she attended Oxford Schools graduating from Oxford High School in 1941. On May 2, 1942, she was united in marriage to Jean Bryant in Oxford. One month later, Jean was drafted into the military. He served in the Army which included 27 months overseas working on the Burma Road. During WWII, Eileen was the definition of the war bride; she followed Jean in service to their country by working a number of various jobs. From ammunition inspections at Western Cartridge Company in Wood River, Illinois, testing mortar shells in Port Clinton, Ohio to being Rosy the Riveter on B-29 airplanes in Detroit, Eileen did her part. She also worked at U.S. Rubber building tires, Nabisco Cookies in Georgia, and as a waitress in Pomona, CA and Cheyenne, WY. Following the war, she and Jean returned to Iowa where they farmed and raised their seven children. She was a true partner in farming as well as a homemaker and gardener. She spent a lot of time in a tractor seat with tractor-pulling trophies to prove that skill. When Jean was employed away from the farm, she was an able farm manager and made executive decisions such as purchasing their first big round baler.

Growing up during the depression, Eileen passed on the core values of thriftiness and self-reliance to her family. Gardening was always part of that plan and a way of life to her. With the help of family, she even enjoyed looking after a small garden visible from her assisted-living apartment in Amana, waiting for that first ripe tomato or cucumber! She was always prepared to feed a crowd, keeping her fruit room, pantry shelves, and freezers full.

To say that Eileen was a hard worker is just the tip of the iceberg; she enjoyed square dancing, bowling, the outdoors, camping, fishing, and oh yes those huge family picnics! Nothing in this world was more important to her than her family, she was so proud of Jean, her children and as grandchildren and great-grandchildren came along, "Grandma" was her favorite title in this world; she loved them dearly, and will be missed by all.

She and Jean enjoyed 67 years of marriage. They were also blessed to live in a neighborhood and community that shared fun times and supported each other in times of need. They got together for cards, sledding, and picnics, as well as farming work projects such as haymaking and corn shelling.

Her family includes her children, JoAnne (Dan) Downes of Oxford, Janet Whaley of Stanwood, Richard (Debbie) Bryant of Oxford, Jim (Cathlene) Bryant of Parnell, Randy (Sandy) Bryant of Oxford, Janelle (David) Campbell of Oxford, Keith Bryant of Williamsburg; 20 grandchildren; and 19 great-grandchildren; sister, Evelyn Gegenheimer of Oxford; brother, Gene Shebetka of Walford; a brother-in-law, Ray Bryant and his wife, Bonnie of Layton, Utah, and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, Jean; son-in-law, Victor Whaley; great-grandson Alex Myers and her sister, Dorothy Hospodarsky.

Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Friday, December 7, 2012, at the St. Mary's Auditorium in Oxford, with burial to follow at the Oxford Cemetery. Visitation will be from 3 to 7 pm Thursday at the auditorium in Oxford. Memorial donations can be made to a fund that will be distributed by the family at a later date. Online condolences may be sent for her family through the web @ www.gayandciha.com.

Eileen K Stiff, 97, of Olney and formerly of Dundas, died at 12:38am Tuesday, November 19, 2013 at Brookstone Estates in Olney, IL

Burial will be at Crest Haven Memorial Park in rural Claremont, IL

Eileen K Stiff, daughter of Edgar and Laura (Wiles) Kermicle, was born June 30, 1916, near Dundas, IL

She attended Dundas grade school, Newton and Olney high schools and Eastern Illinois Teachers College. Eileen's first term teaching, near Brush College in 1937, was in a class of 8 boys and girls.

She married Robert Charles Stiff on September 3, 1942 in St. Charles, MO in the home of retired Methodist minister Rev R. M. Hardaway. From a photo in her 50th anniversary album, the couple's first home "of four days" was a single-room dwelling about the size of a one-car garage. It had no windows.

From Sept 1942 to Jan 1944, when Robert left for the Pacific, she moved with him from Fort Crook, NE to TX and finally back to IL. She worked at Kroger and then taught at Cherry Street School while Robert was in the war.

The couple returned to the home Robert had built for his "intended" on the farm a mile east of Dundas where they raised two sons and milked Jersey cattle. Eileen gardened of necessity but she loved to raise roses. For a time, she tested plantings for Jackson Perkins.

In November of 1993, Bob and Eileen moved to Olney. Eileen was a member of the Dundas Methodist Church until it closed in 1973, then transferred membership to Immanuel Methodist Church in Olney.

Eileen was an avid genealogy researcher. She compiled her work, "John Taylor Kermicle -- His Ancestors and Descendants", on her manual typewriter. At the end of the book, Eileen wrote a dedication to her Grandma Kate. "...She proved to be a 'farmers wife'. She saw the hardships that were an expected part of pioneer life. She was a very sturdy individual and always trying to be helpful. ...She raised her children in a good Christian home, these principles helping to carry them through many 'dark days'". The words are a fitting epitaph for the granddaughter.

She is survived by a son, Michael (Barbara) Stiff of Savoy, IL, one grandson, Jason (Amy) Stiff of Pawnee, great-granddaughters, Christina and Lauren Jo, of Pawnee and her grandson's widow, Julie Stiff and great-grandsons, Kevin and Brandon of Lyons, CO.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, Robert (Aug 22, 2013), sisters, Marie Wilson, Dorothy Phillips and Mabel Graves, brother Don Kermicle and grandson Brian Stiff.
