Allan Wilbert Fach, 95, passed away Sunday, Aug. 26, 2018, at the Villa in Rose City.

He was born Sept. 30, 1922, in Rose City to Gustav and Elizabeth (Sy) Fach. Allan lived in Rose City for all of his life. He was a graduate of Michigan State College and was part of the boxing team. He married Lucille Bohnard on July 22, 1944, in West Branch. He was a local businessman and started six businesses. Allan was a builder in Rose City and a real estate developer. He was a dairy farmer and had a milk route with his business, Allan Fach Trucking Company. After selling his farm and milk route in 1956, he and his wife started a Dairy Queen in Rose City, which included a play land park with five rides and trampolines. Once the Dairy Queen was established, he built the city's first self-serve car wash. The car wash was located just south, in the back of the parking lot at Dairy Queen. In 1981, Allan purchased the Scenic Motel, which had seven rooms, and built an additional 10 rooms before selling the motel in 2000. The last business he started was the General Construction Business, which was a 41-lot subdivision called the Highland Pines Subdivision.

Allan helped the community in various ways and served on several committees. He brought the first bank to Rose City in 1958, the first dentist in town, and Casemaster Body (called Header Products, now ATF) to Rose City, which was the town’s first factory. Allan was also involved with the Prestolite Manufacturing Plant, American Plastics and bringing the Consumers Power plant into the city. He and Eldon and Evadell Miller purchased the flags and poles that hang at City Hall, and raised the funds for the pavilion at the city park. Allan served as a city tax assessor for 20 years and was a member of the Lions Club in Rose City and St. John Lutheran Church in West Branch. Allan enjoyed trips to the casino, playing Blackjack, hunting and spending time with his grandchildren.

Allan is survived by his wife, Lucille Fach of Rose City; sons, Randy Fach and Robert (Linda) Fach, both of Rose City; grandchildren, Jeb (Valerie) Fach of Seattle, Wash., Courtney (Greg) Hills of Midland, Lindsay (Morgan) Maul of Hamilton, Brandi (Stephen) Schellenbarger of Midland, Allan (Mindy) Fach of Alaska and Kacie (Braden) Mercer of West Branch; great-grandchildren, Addison Hills, Mason Hills, Aiden Hills, Emma Maul, Sara Maul, Savannah Fach, Saylor Schellenbarger, Kaiser Mercer and Rolly Fach of Alaska; and step-great-grandchildren, Noah and Natalie of Alaska.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Dale; and sisters, Bea, Hazel and Dottie.

GEORGE ARTHUR RANNY
George Arthur Ranney, age 94, passed away on Saturday, August 27, 2016 at WBRMC after a short illness. He was born to Charles & Emma Adell (Sorter) Ranney on September 1, 1921 at home in Flint, MI.

George served his country in Belgium and Holland with the Army during WWII in the 95th division and received a bronze star. He was a boxer during that time and remained fit and strong for most of his life. He loved to travel with his late wife, Lucille and he loved to play Scrabble, but
his gift was storytelling and he had a phenomenal memory. As the last parent and uncle of our family, he was our center, the one who held all those wonderful memories about our parents, aunts and uncles. We sorely grieve his passing. George was a teacher, school administrator, and superintendent.

George is survived by three sons, George, Jr. (Debbie), Kelvin (Judi) and Kevin Ranney; many grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews; and one cousin, Ilah Ludlow of Florida. George also survived all of his brothers and sisters, Clayton Ranney, June Cleveland Fortune, Althera Fahselt, Evelyn White, Nora Shockley and Jack Ranney. They were an extraordinarily close and loving family. He is predeceased by his wife, Lucille, daughter, Candace Ranney, daughter, Cheryl Darcy Ranney and grandson BJ Andreini.

HOPE HUGHES SHOEMAKER MEIRESOMME
DIED MAY 4, 1939
**


Hope Gaynell (Hughes) Shoemaker Meiresonne passed away on May 4, 2016.
She was born Jan. 16, 1921, in Earnshaw, W.Va.
Hope was preceded in death by her beloved parents and siblings and their spouses, R. Lincoln and Rosa Del Hughes, Herbert (Christine) Hughes, Harold (Clara) Hughes, Garnet (Charles) Eddy, Gail (Laurel) Snyder, Delbert (Janet) Hughes, Robert (Shirley) Hughes and Juanita (Robert) Tetu.
The Hughes family left their family farm in West Virginia when she was 8 years old and moved north, living in Norwich, Ohio, Alma, and then settling in West Branch — following her father’s work in the oil/natural gas business. Hope graduated from West Branch High School in 1939. Thereafter she put herself through Bay City Business College, stopping short of graduation to take a job with the Michigan Social Security Commission office in West Branch.
She married Jack Shoemaker on June 12, 1943, in Los Angeles, Calif., while Jack was on leave prior to a three-year stint of active Army duty in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Upon Jack’s return the couple built a home at 293 Fairview St., West Branch. Jack was co-owner and partner with his father, John H. Shoemaker, of the family business — a chain of dime stores, Shoemaker’s J & J Stores, located in West Branch, Grayling and Gaylord. Hope was the company payroll administrator until the business was sold in 1976.
Her Scotch-Irish heritage was evident in all aspects of her life: frugal, loyal, loving to her family, generous and never one to back down from a challenge. As a kid she pitched baseball to her older brothers. They couldn’t afford a baseball and so she pitched a golf ball. Her mentors were those older brothers, her beloved sisters, her vigorous father and her mother, whom she revered most of all.
Hope was an avid golfer, seamstress and cook. She loved her friends in West Branch, celebrating her 90th birthday with some she had known for over 70 years. And animals held a special place in her heart, exemplified by the years of the menagerie doctoring and nursing she provided.
Jack Shoemaker preceded her in death Dec. 24, 1983. Following that came her happy days with second husband, Rene Meiresonne, of Moline, Ill. They celebrated his birthday by marrying each other in Venice, Fla., Feb. 10, 1988. The next 10 years were very happy for them both. Rene, also a WWII veteran of service in Patton’s Army, passed away at the couple’s home in Largo, Fla., Dec. 25, 1998.
Thereafter Hope moved to Traverse City and lived at The Village at Bay Ridge, and then her final residence at Hawthorn Cottage of the Grand Traverse Pavilions.
She is survived by her family, Rene’s children and their spouses, Louise (Don) Capes, Dan (Chris) Meiresonne, Steve (Barb) Meiresonne, Greg (Shalane) Meiresonne, Mark (June) Meiresonne; and her children, Gwen (Chris) Schaiberger, Susan Shoemaker and John (Michael Bodus) Shoemaker. Also surviving are 14 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
Donations in Hope’s memory can be made to yourself. Seek out joy in your day and you’ll be honoring Hope in a way that would make her smile.
“In the end you hold/A cup I put to your lips;/Sips, and trust, we, thank.” — Author ******************
