Marjorie Ann (Banman) Neufeld died peacefully on Oct. 5, 2026 at Greencroft Healthcare in Goshen, IN. She was born October 26, 1930 to Arthur and Frieda (Schmidt) Banman at Goessel, KS. She attended Good Hope Elementary School in Marion County, KS, Goessel Rural High School, and Bethel College in North Newton, KS. She taught for two years at Emmenthal, a rural one room school south of Goessel, KS.

On August 26, 1953, she married Edwin E. Neufeld, who preceded her in death on Dec. 26, 2004. She is survived by a son, Ron (Jyl) Neufeld, Nashville, TN, and three daughters: Jan (David) Lehman, Union, Michigan; Martha (Todd) Penner, Goshen, IN; and Patty (Dean) Sprunger, Syracuse, IN. Also surviving are 13 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, and a brother-in-law, Tom Schrag. Her three sisters preceded her in death: Lela Trewett, Joan Wiebe, and Elaine Schrag, along with her parents and parents-in-law, Frank and Mary (Fehdrau) Neufeld.

Marge was employed by the Elkhart Public Library in the Bookmobile Department for 15 years. From 1993-2001 her husband and she also managed Ten Thousand Village’s stores in Denver, CO and Boston, MA. Shortly after their marriage, they served a two-year voluntary service term at Boy’s Village, Smithville, OH.

Marge was passionate about her family, loved classical music and hymns, enjoyed travel, walking, entertaining, maintaining friendships, and connecting with family on the computer—whether by email, blogs, or Facebook. She enjoyed writing projects on the computer and wrote several dozen tributes for family and friends, most of them framed and given as gifts. She possessed a keen, sometimes silly sense of humor and had developed a deep faith and a sense of the power of prayer. She considered the writing of cards of encouragement and compassion a ministry. The church was always an important part of her life, whether singing in the choir or ensembles, teaching Sunday school, ushering, greeting, or other volunteer activities.

A memorial service will be held at Silverwood Mennonite church on Sat., Oct. 17 at 11:15 a.m., with visitation prior to the service from 9:00-11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to MCC, Akron, PA or to the church.

Mary Ann (Cummings) Roark, 79, of Centerville, passed away on September 16, 2026, at Ambassador Healthcare in Centerville following an extended illness. She was born on November 7, 1946, in Glasgow, Kentucky, the daughter of James and Ruth (Edmonson) Cummings.

Mary worked for seven years at First National Bank of Richmond before choosing to stay home and devote herself to raising her family. Family was at the center of Mary’s life, and she took great pride in creating a warm and welcoming home for those she loved.

She enjoyed decorating her home for every holiday and looked forward to working in her garden during the summer months, especially tending to her flowers. For many years, Mary hosted family holiday meals and could often be found in the kitchen baking cookies and preparing for the people she loved most. The traditions she created and the care she put into her home and family will be remembered fondly by those who knew her.

Mary is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, Reed Roark; three sons, Jeff Roark of Centerville, John (Kevin) Roark of Huber Heights, Ohio, and James (Krystal) Roark of New Richmond; her sister, Nancy Jeffers of Richmond; two grandchildren, Natalie and Dexter; and her nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Ruth Cummings, and her brother-in-law, Paul Jeffers.

No services are currently scheduled.

Kathleen Lourae Rumple, 65, of Jonesboro, passed away at home surrounded by her family on August 19, 2026, following a courageous battle with breast cancer. She was born in Marion on August 26, 1960, to Richard and Kathleen (Lynch) Hook.

Lourae graduated from Madison-Grant High School in 1978. A gifted artist, she had a lifelong love of creating and sharing beautiful things. Her work was often commissioned, but she also found great joy in painting with oils and creating pencil drawings simply for herself. For many years, she shared that passion with others by teaching painting classes at the Fairmount Public Library.

Her creativity extended well beyond the canvas. Lourae was a Master Gardener and was very involved in planning and organizing several botanical gardens in Marion. She also owned Lynch Country Market in Jonesboro for nearly ten years.

Lourae loved to cook from scratch, often using food she had grown in her own garden. Family dinners were especially important to her and were a treasured time for everyone to gather together. She had an appreciation for all things bright and beautiful and simply loved “colorful things.”

Lourae is survived by her loving husband, David Rumple; six children, Micah Rumple of North Carolina, Cory Rumple of Gas City, Cody Rumple of Jonesboro, Emma Rumple of Muncie, Brandon Wollitz of Matthews, and Caleb Cox of Jonesboro; and sixteen grandchildren, Dylan, Tyler, James, Sutton, Elizabeth, Lukah, Jeremiah, Hezekiah, Madelyn, Westlyn, Marilyn, Bentley, Brinley, Rhett, Wheeler, and Langston.

She will also be deeply missed by her nephews, Abe Hook and Ben Hook, as well as her best friend of more than 40 years, Robin Scott of New Castle.

Lourae was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Dewayne Hook.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Fairmount Public Library (217 S. Main Street, Fairmount, IN 46928), or to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Terisa Ann (Johnson) Clouse, 65, of Fishers, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on August 21, 2026. She was born in Elwood, Indiana on September 22, 1960.

Terisa graduated from Pendleton Heights High School in 1979, where she was a cheerleader, played on the tennis team, and was a member of the homecoming court. She later earned an associate degree in business from Ivy Tech Community College in Anderson.

Throughout her career, Terisa worked in the offices of several local businesses before choosing to stay home and focus on her family — especially her grandchildren, a role she absolutely loved. Most recently, she served as Activities Director at Prairie Lakes Health Campus. She truly enjoyed working with the residents and would often bring her special-needs niece along to help with activities.

Terisa was a woman of deep Christian faith, truly on fire for the Lord and eager to share His Word with others. She immersed herself in the Bible and spent many hours watching church services and Christian ministry programs on television. She was a faithful member of iTown Church in Fishers, and her faith was reflected in the way she lived and gave. She was especially intentional about teaching her grandchildren about the Lord, a responsibility she embraced with great love and purpose. She also generously supported Christian missions and ministries.

Above all, Terisa was fiercely devoted to her family. Her grandsons were among the greatest joys of her life. She shared a close bond with her two older grandsons and treasured being part of their lives from the time they were small. She rarely missed an opportunity to cheer them on—at sporting events, in their education, and in all the things that mattered to them. She especially loved listening to them play music together and could happily sit and watch them perform for hours.

The arrival of twin grandsons this past year brought a new joy to Terisa’s life. Although distance meant that her time with them was limited, she treasured the time they did share, including a special trip out West with her daughter and the babies. She was delighted to welcome these newest members of her family and to be their “GG.”

Terisa is survived by her parents, Pat and Linda Johnson of Pendleton, Indiana; two daughters, Crystal (Ryan) Miles of Fishers, Indiana, and Lindsey (Al) Coombs of Santa Clarita, California; five siblings, Lisa (David) McKenny of Pendleton, Indiana, Mona (Steven) Tweedy of Jacksonville, Florida, Andrea Johnson of Hilo, Hawaii, Dawn (Gary) Sparks of Carmel, Indiana, and Michael (Esther) Johnson of Ceres, California; and four grandsons, Nolan Miles, Holden Miles, Conrad Herrera, and Maison Herrera.

She will also be deeply missed by many loving nieces and nephews, close friends and neighbors, and the staff and residents of Prairie Lakes Health Campus.

Terisa was preceded in death by her grandparents, Loren and Juanita McElfresh; her nephew, Nicholas Tweedy; and her beloved pets, Woody, Chloe, and Boots.

Funeral services for Terisa will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 30, 2026, at Gateway Community Church of Fortville (125 E. Staat Street, Fortville, Indiana 46040) with Pastor Aaron Hargis officiating. Friends may call at the church from 1:00 p.m. until the time of service. A private family burial will take place on Monday, August 31.

Those wishing to send flowers are asked to have them delivered on Saturday, August 29, to Keller Mortuary Services (801 N. Main St., Lapel, IN 46051).
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Terisa’s memory to Breakthrough T1D.

David Franklin Prough, 81, of Noblesville, IN died and entered into eternal rest with the Lord Jesus on August 20, 2026, following complications from multiple myeloma. He made an impact with his life and was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle who will be missed every day.

David was born at St. John’s Hospital in Anderson, IN on January 4, 1945 to Dale and Marjorie Prough, as the identical twin to his brother Dan. The two boys were the youngest of five children and grew up on a farm in Alexandria, IN, where they loved shooting basketballs in the barn.

David first met the love of his life, Charlotte (Urban) Prough, in the second grade at Cunningham Elementary School, but it wasn’t until high school when they became official sweethearts. David attended Alexandria High School, where he excelled as an athlete on the football, basketball and baseball teams. In his senior year, David and Dan led the Alexandria Tigers basketball team to a 21-4 record, winning the 1963 Madison County sectional championship and advancing to the Indiana state regionals at Butler Field House.

David and Charlotte were married on May 23, 1964 at the United Methodist Church in Alexandria. Soon afterward they began their family, and their three children, Becky, Todd, and Rosalynn, meant the world to them. David prioritized family togetherness, with much time spent enjoying beaches, mountains and lakes, camping, summer baseball, day trips and county fairs.

David earned his bachelor’s degree in business at Indiana University, where he and Dan received athletic scholarships to play baseball. Upon graduation in 1967, he began his management career in the rental car industry, with his first position at Avis in Louisville, KY, followed by a stint in Cleveland, OH, then 20 years working at major airports in Northern California, including San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose. He returned to Indiana in 1989, settling in Noblesville, where he eventually retired from the Indianapolis Airport.

David was an active member of Harbour Shores Church, and you could often find him early on Sunday mornings attending to the coffee service in his Sunday School classroom or the church kitchen.

Everyone who knew David knew how much he loved sports, a good game of cards, and discovering the next great diner. He also loved spending time with his grandchildren, making it a priority to travel to California for vacations and milestones like graduations and weddings. When grandchildren visited Indiana, he helped hone their card skills, taught them to fish off the lake dock, and took all who were interested to the Indy 500 or Brickyard 400.

David was preceded in death by his cherished daughter Rosalynn Prough and his parents. He is survived by his wife, Charlotte; daughter Becky Furtado (John); son Todd Prough (Julie); grandchildren Joshua, Rachel, Mark, Emily, Andrew, Sara, and Katie; and three great-grandchildren, Hayden, Riley, and Giovanna. He is also survived by siblings Nancy Johnson (Bob), John Prough (Karen), Richard Prough, and Dan Prough (Kathy).

Services honoring David’s life, legacy and faith will be held on Friday, Aug. 28 at 1 p.m. at Harbour Shores Church, 8011 E 216th St, Cicero. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Rosalynn Prough Memorial Fund at First Love International Ministries, P.O. Box 15836, Loves Park, IL 61132, firstloveinternational.org.

Kathryn Ann McCorkle, 81, of Middletown, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her family, on August 18, 2026. She was born in Anderson, Indiana, on December 23, 1944, to Shirley and Virginia (Knapp) Fox.

Kathryn was a devoted homemaker whose family was always at the center of her life. She attended White Union Christian Church and was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star for more than 30 years.

Kathryn especially enjoyed gardening and spending time outdoors. She had a deep love for animals, who seemed to sense her gentle spirit. Whether it was a horse, cat, dog she treated them with kindness and respect. Her beloved dog Buddy held a very special place in her heart. Buddy, who was rarely far from her side, could often be found riding along with Kathryn on the lawn tractor.

Kathryn is survived by her loving husband, Robert McCorkle; three children, Chris (Bud) Wright of Middletown, Angie (Jeff) Dick of Middletown, and Hank (Katelyn) McCorkle of Middletown; seven grandchildren, Ashley (Scott Counceller) Wright of Middletown, Cory (Savannah Howard) Wright of Middletown, Jessica Vance of Middletown, Chase (Taylor) McCorkle of Middletown, RaeAnn (Celso Guido) McCorkle of Lebanon, Gracie McCorkle of Middletown, and Gabbie McCorkle of Middletown; and three great-grandchildren, Ivan, Lio, and Lakoda.
