VRYENHOEK ELIZABETH WILHELMINA "BILLIE" (URQUHART) The world lost a bright light when Billie played her last hand on January 4th.

She was a champion golfer, a bridge Life Master, a wicked Scrabble player, a cheerful gambler, a smart investor and an avid follower of US politics. She sang like an angel—including with the Bob Locklin Singers in the early 70s—and rescued pets galore. In 1986, she became a real estate agent and devoted her energy to helping people ?nd a home. Memories of Billie will be cherished by her beloved sister, Margaret and brother- in-law, Ian Norquay; by her children, Bruce, Leslie (and Russell Wangersky) and Douglas (and Terri); her grandchildren, Caitlin Elkjar (and Clay), Raquel Bracken, and Erinn Wilson (and Gil and children); great- grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and too many dear friends to name.

KIDZUS GEORGENE (OLESON) Died on January 9, 2019, at the age of 94. She was a lifelong resident of Harmarville, PA, and never stopped loving the Allegheny River that ?owed past her home. She is survived by sons, Ted (Ellie) and Larry (Peggy); daughter, Amy (Sharon); and daughter-in-law, Jan; also by seven grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren. Georgene was a child of the Great Depression and also of the 1936 Allegheny River ?ood that forced her family to leave their home through a second ?oor window, into a rowboat oared by an uncle who took the family to safety. Both experiences informed her life and fueled her sense of joy in the things you have rather than in what you don't. She loved to travel. A favorite destination was Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. She participated in Elderhostel events across the United States and took tours to England, Russia, Germany and Austria. All anyone ever had to say was, “Do you want to go…?” and her answer was “Yes!” For the last three decades she was an avid card player at the Plum and Monroeville Senior Centers. Georgene was predeceased by husband, Ed; husband, Albert; and eldest son, Chuck. She will be missed.

His favorite trips included an annual pilgrimage to Cape May with his sister, nieces and nephews, several trips to Italy with his daughter, San Francisco to see his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, countless ?shing and hunting trips with his buddies, and frequent excursions to his son's home on St. Simons Island.

He loved to recount the action he saw during the years he served in the US Army as an MP and a Chaplain's Assistant, including evacuating Key West during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
