Ronald LeRoy Rognlien, 61, of Warrenton Virginia and Westminster Maryland


Ronald LeRoy Rognlien, 61, died unexpectedly from a massive heart attack at his home in Warrenton, Va., on Thursday morning, December 19, 2013.

Born in 1952 in Baraboo, Wis.; he was the son of the late Stanley LeRoy Rognlien and the late Arlene Doris Jacobson Rognlien. His father served on submarines in the U.S. Navy during World War II in the Pacific and then worked throughout his career with Alcoa, the Aluminum Company of America – as a result, the family lived all over the Americas.

After graduating with a degree in electrical engineering from Oregon State University, he followed in his father’s footsteps and served his country for 32 years as a defense contractor with the intelligence community. It was a job that took him to approximately 68 countries over the years. His particular field of expertise was computer science and communications.

Mr. Rognlien married Marian Babylon in 1982 at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church in Westminster.

After retirement, Mr. Rognlien continued serving others through volunteer and mission service. He again traveled the world, this time for recreation, and spent time in Westminster with his extended family. He enjoyed fishing in Alaska, playing math and word games like Sudoku, and drove the Alcan Highway and across the USA several times.

In addition to his training as an electrical engineer, he was handy with tools and home improvement projects. He was a veteran of many mission trips with Taylorsville United Methodist Church, to help folks who had suffered from natural disasters, including places such as Biloxi, Miss. after Hurricane Katrina and New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy.

He volunteered at numerous Carroll County civic and community functions. He was handy with a chainsaw and often helped cutting firewood with the Taylorsville “wood chuckers,” who cut firewood for the needy. He was a serious student of the game of golf.

In the greater Warrenton community, he volunteered extensively with organizations such as People Helping People, VolTran, and the Fauquier County Food Distribution Coalition. He worked for the Fauquier Co. Board of Election Supervisors. He was a member of the Warrenton Stamp and Coin Club and was a founding parent of the FAST swim team. He was an active member of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Warrenton.

He remained an avid reader his entire life and was seldom seen without a book in his hand. He was comfortable in the kitchen and well-known for his special “Ron’s pancakes.” He was also an avid movie-buff. He was the family genealogist and took a scholarly approach to military history, and the form, function and history of American government. He attended all of his daughter’s swim meets, lacrosse games, and field hockey matches throughout high school and college.

In addition to his wife of 31 years, he is survived by his daughter, Marnie of Copley, Ohio, and her fiancé, Louis Paumier, of Wooster, Ohio; his brother, Roger Rognlien and wife Linda of Scio, Ore., and his sisters, Diane and Darlene Rognlien of Corvallis, Ore., Deanna Jorgensen and her husband, Christopher of Dunedin, Fla.

He is also survived by his mother-in-law Evelyn F. Babylon, sisters-in-law: the Rev. Sarah Babylon Dorrance of Taylorsville United Methodist Church; Lt. Col. Trisch Babylon, US Army (Ret.,) of Anchorage, Alaska; and Caroline Babylon of Westminster and brothers-in-law: Kevin E. Dayhoff of Westminster and Col. William T. Babylon, US Army (Ret.) of Anchorage, Alaska. He was predeceased by his father-in-law, David S. Babylon, Jr. in August 2006, and brother-in-law, Lt. Commander Jim Dorrance, US Navy Reserve in June 1991.

In addition to close friends and colleagues and his immediate family, Mr. Rognlien is survived by nieces, nephews; including Phil and Jamie Dorrance Miller, Andy and Melissa Dorrance Cimbala, Frank and Rosa Babylon, Liz, and David Babylon III, and great-niece Nora Harper Babylon and great-nephew Evan Parker Babylon.

The family will receive friends at the Myers-Durboraw Funeral Home, at 91 Willis Street, Westminster, MD on Monday, December 23, from 7 to 9 p.m.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, December 28 at 11 a.m. at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 6194 Dumfries Rd., Warrenton, VA; with visitation starting at 10 a.m.  The Rev. Michael Church will officiate with a eulogy by The Rev. Sarah Dorrance.

Inurnment will be private at the family mausoleum at Krider’s Cemetery, Westminster, Md.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to People Helping People, 34 Beckham Street, Warrenton, VA 20186.

Planning, public works reorganized in city

By Mary Scott, Advocate staff writer


Find a much larger image here: http://twitpic.com/dp72x3

The Westminster Department of Planning and Public Works will be reorganized into two separate departments after the Westminster Common Council approved an ordinance to do so at a meeting on Dec. l0.

The Department of Public Works will be headed by Jeff Glass, and Thomas Beyard will head the new Department of Planning, Zoning and Development. The council approved both appointments Monday night.

[…]

Questions related to zoning, the Zoning Appeals Board and zoning classifications have been reassigned to the Department of Planning, Zoning and Development.

Plans to restructure the city's staff and changes in the location of several city offices were also formally announced and approved by the council at Monday night's meeting.

The newly formed Department of Planning, Zoning and Development will join the Economic Development, Community Development and Finance Departments at 56 W. Main St. The administrative offices of the Department of Public Works also relocated to the same address, so they will have easy access to the planning staff.

Josephine Davis (Gray) “Josie” O’Neel, 74, of Finksburg


Josephine Davis (Gray) “Josie” O’Neel, 74, of Finksburg, died Thursday, December 12, 2013 at the Carroll Hospice Dove House. 

Born Nov. 9, 1939 in Cleveland, Ohio she was the daughter of the late Henrietta Elizabeth Giessen Gray and Gordon Nelson Gray.  Survived by her husband Henry Franklin “Frank” Renard.

She was employed as a realtor with Coldwell Banker.  A graduate of Indiana University specializing in social services, she held the Phi Beta Kappa key for academic achievement and was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority.

She was justifiably proud of her lifetime of service to the community as a real estate counselor and mortgage banking officer, being active in the Association of Realtors and holding offices and committee chairs throughout her career.  In addition to being an icon in her chosen field, she found time for volunteering and holding offices in both the local Boy Scout troops and the scout council management network.  With three sons in a local troop, she was one of the first women to serve in this previously all-male organization, and earned scouting’s coveted Silver Beaver award for her accomplishments.

Her greatest pleasure and satisfaction came from the progress of her grandchildren as they grew.   She followed their growth and photographed them at every opportunity.  Their visits were waited for expectantly and their “help” in the kitchen brought a glow to her countenance and personality.  She loved them dearly.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by sons Bruce Edwin O’Neel of Geneva, Switzerland; Brian Nelson O’Neel of Frederick; and Brent Robert O’Neel of St. Johns, AZ; a sister Jennifer Gray Fidura of Richmond, VA; 10 grandchildren Theodore Vincent, Olivier Nicolas and Sebastien Eduard O’Neel of Montreal, Canada; Caitlyn Anne, Meaghan Emily, Molly Rose, and Claire Marie O’Neel of Frederick; Jonah Michea Judy, Etude Aro O’Neel-Judy and Atsina Greene O’Neel-Judy of St. Johns, AZ; 2 great-grandchildren Wadulisi Judy and Tsuneline Byrd Judy; and a nephew Gordon Nelson Fidura of London, England.

The family will receive friends on Sunday from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. at the Fletcher Funeral & Cremation Services, 254 E. Main St., Westminster.

Funeral services will be held Monday at 1 p.m. at the funeral home with Rev. Dave Bare officiating.  Interment in Meadow Branch Cemetery.

Memorial contributions may be made to Carroll Hospice Dove House, 292 Stoner Ave., Westminster, MD 21157 or the American Cancer Society, 1393 Progress Way, Eldersburg, MD 21784.

The Write of Center.: A Coach, A Mentor, A Friend, An Example

by H.J. Charlebois, Jr.

"Sometimes there are people you meet in life that you aspire to be like. One of those people for me is Dave Fogle. In the short amount of time that I knew him, he impressed me with his passion to teach and intense dedication to welfare of others.

His greatest contributions of time and effort were typically through youth sports. Dave passed away on Monday at his home in Frederick, Maryland at the age of 66.

Dave was constantly giving to the organizations he cared about." ... http://www.thewriteofcenter.com/2013/12/a-coach-mentor-friend-example.html
