Warren T. Culver bid farewell to this life on February 12, 2016 while in the loving arms of family members. His legacy continues through his wife Katherine; his children: Ronald (and wife, Leigh) of Prescott Valley, AZ, Lee (and wife, Martha) of Marietta, GA, Barbara of Lawrence, KS, Warren Jr. of Ft. Myers, FL, James (and wife, Mona) of Congress, AZ; his grandchildren: Coleen, Jason, Barry, Katherine, Kacey, Warren, Kaylee; his great grandchildren: Nicholas, Ryan, Holly, Chloe and his sister Marian Phillips of Westhampton, NY. He is preceded in death by his parents Herbert and Katharine, sister Amy Terry, brothers Arthur, Hallock and Herbert.
Born January 11, 1920 on Long Island, NY, the fourth of six children to Herbert R. and Katharine H. Culver, Warren grew up in Westhampton, NY, on the shores of Long Island. During his young adult years he excelled as a high school wrestler; joined Boy Scouts of America, eventually becoming a Life Scout; worked one summer as a lifeguard at Westhampton Beach; raced sailboats in Moriches Bay, Long Island; and worked in his father's plumbing business and the family duck farm.
The family lived through the Great Depression of the 1930's, and out of those circumstances emerged a young man of Christian faith displaying steadiness, strength, confidence, and unshakable belief in the value of hard work and affinity for one's fellow man… all of which Warren attributed to the lifelong example set by his mother and father.
Surrounded by positive influences and loving family, Warren decided to enter medicine. He began his undergraduate education at Maryville College, TN, and it was there he met his love, Katherine Ann Garvin. Graduating cum laude from Maryville he was accepted at the Long Island College of Medicine (now, State University of New York). While in medical school, he and Katherine married, July 1944.
Graduating in 1946, Warren entered military active duty as a physician, spending a total of 26 years serving his nation in the United States Air Force and becoming a board-certified ophthalmologist. He served as Chief Flight Surgeon and commanded several USAF hospitals.
Warren's career included flying in B-29's as a flight surgeon with USAF Hurricane Hunters while stationed at Kindley Field, Bermuda. As Chief of Ophthalmology at the School of Aviation Medicine, Randolph AFB, he also participated in the testing of the first hydrogen (atmospheric) bomb detonated by this nation at Johnson Island, evaluating its ophthalmic effects. While stationed at Norton AFB he examined and treated the eyes of former President Dwight Eisenhower. During the course of his career he cared for the eye health of thousands of military men and women at Air Force hospitals within the US and overseas.
Following retirement from active duty in 1968 as commander of the USAF hospital, Forbes, Topeka, KS, Warren and Katherine bought a home in Lawrence where he opened a private medical practice. He served the needs of Lawrence and surrounding communities as an ophthalmologist for the next 17 years, retiring from private practice in 1985.
Warren continued service to his fellow man by delivering, with Katherine, "Meals on Wheels" for 15 years, as well as serving as a Hospice volunteer for many years. He brought comfort and peace to dying individuals in a manner in which he was thoroughly steeped… that of a Christian physician, and, to dying World War II aviators struggling with events of a long-ago war, he brought the perspective and the comfort of a military flight surgeon. Warren was named Hospice Volunteer of the Year during his period of service.
As a life-long Christian and former Sunday school teacher, Warren and Katherine both joined the First United Methodist Church, Lawrence, upon their move to Lawrence in 1968. There, Warren faithfully worshipped and supported its ministers and its missions until the very end while engaging in philanthropic efforts with a number of organizations.
The trajectory of his life was one of service … service to his nation and to his fellow man as a senior military officer, physician, and humanitarian. If asked, Warren would say that his greatest accomplishment was winning the love of Katherine; love which they, in turn bestowed upon their five children as they imparted Christian values through daily behavior and teaching.
"He never focused on what he could extract from this life; he focused on what he could give" … aptly describes Warren Culver during his time on this earth. The grief at the passing of our father is, at times, unbearable … but, we rejoice that this very good man once lived.
May God bless Warren Tuttle Culver … and welcome him home.

Anne Gammon DeForest, a schoolteacher and minister’s wife who valued diversity throughout her life, died May 16, 2017 at 96. A spirited young woman, Anne Gammon DeForest, who died May 16 at 96, lived her life by the values in which she believed. Although she had been inducted into the Daughters of the American Revolution at a young age as part of a family tradition, DeForest rescinded her membership after the organization denied permission for black singer Marian Anderson to perform in Constitution Hall in 1939. “When she heard about that, she sent in all the paperwork to withdraw her membership,” her daughter Carol Anne DeForest said. Eleanor Roosevelt, whom DeForest admired, later arranged for Anderson to sing at the Lincoln Memorial. DeForest also surprised her husband during the 1960 presidential election. “At dinner that night I asked her, ‘Who did you vote for today?'” Carol DeForest recalled. “Daddy said, ‘She voted for Nixon, we’re Republicans,’ and she said, ‘Actually I’m not a Republican, I voted for Kennedy.'” Her children cheered. The only child raised in a Presbyterian home, DeForest attended Maryville College in Tennessee, graduating with degrees in religion and French. Accepting a teaching position at a Presbyterian settlement school in the Appalachian coal mining town of Blackey, Kentucky, DeForest taught grades from kindergarten on up, including some students as old as 22. “They were very poor mountain folks; extremely proud, tough people,” her daughter said. “She fell in love with them.” After getting married in 1944, DeForest began her life as the wife of an Episcopalian minster. The couple moved from Tennessee to San Antonio, where she taught in the Northeast Independent School District. Then they moved to Corpus Christi, back to San Antonio and then to the ranching town of Hempstead, where she taught during the 1960s, during the integration of the state’s schools. “It was very difficult, but she made some good friends there,” Carol DeForest said. Moving from Hempstead to Houston, DeForest learned word processing and computers at age 60, getting a job at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. “She met a wildly diverse group of people from all over the world at the university,” Carol DeForest said. “Some who remained her friends for the rest of her life.” Staying in Houston for many years after her husband died in the mid-1990s, DeForest moved back to San Antonio about eight years ago. Born: May 28, 1920, Hawesville, Kentucky Died: May 16, 2017, San Antonio Preceded by: Husband Jack DeForest; parents Paulina Christler Hodges and William Jefferson Gammon. Survived by: Son John William DeForest and daughter-in-law Nancy; daughters Carol Anne DeForest and son-in-law Barron Boyd, Catherine Gillespie and son-in-law Rodney, and Florence DeForest and son-in-law Gerald Whitcomb; seven grandchildren; and twelve great-grandchildren.

Dr. Marion N. Johnston, age 96, of Carlisle, passed away Thursday, June 15, 2017 at Chapel Point at Carlisle. Dr. Marion was born in Michigan on September 30, 1920, as the eldest child of Glenn C. Northup (MI) and Irma Chiroux (Paris, France). She grew up in Lisbon, Ohio and dreamed of becoming a medical missionary pediatrician. She accomplished her dream, becoming a pediatrician in an era when few women did so. She embodied steady determination, never questioning a woman’s ability to prosper in what was a man’s vocation, while also having passion for and commitment to her family — including five children, 11 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. Marion attended Maryville College, graduating from Ohio State University, graduating from the Women’s Medical College of PA in 1947. She met James R. Johnston, III, while both were interns. She heard him whistling in the halls of West Penn Hospital at three o’clock in the morning and immediately was interested. She married the love of her life on June 18, 1949. Their marriage was rooted in a joy of purpose and a desire to serve the community. They served in the army at Fort Dix NJ Hospital, and then settled in Sewickley, PA where they both had private practices. They moved their family to Carlisle, PA in 1965. Joyfully balancing her large family and career, she continued in private practice from 66-74 and then worked for decades at the outpatient pediatric clinic at Dunham US Army War College. Over the years, Marion volunteered at baby clinics, caring for children who had no other access to health care. Throughout her long and vibrant life, she was dedicated to the Presbyterian Church. In Carlisle, she found a home at the Second Presbyterian Church. Marion never wanted to miss a Sunday service and served the church in many leadership and volunteer capacities such as Elder, Deacon, Stephen Minister, Sunday School teacher, etc. Her compassion for the vulnerable galvanized her volunteer activities – locally and internationally. She traveled with Jim as medical volunteers to Guatemala, Cameroon and India. She also tended to those closer to home, serving on the board of Steven’s Center, and a warm and caring friend to many. The community recognized Marion’s contributions with many awards, including the Carlisle Area’s Finest, the Exchange Club Molly Pitcher Award, and the YWCA Ruth K. and Nancy J. George Award. Her family is truly inspired by her unwavering sense of duty to make the world more peaceful and just. She approached her many roles – pediatrician, wife, mom, grandmother, friend and citizen of the world – with curiosity and kindness. Every conversation with her included deep questions about life and current events. Marion and Jim traveled to all 50 states and took fantastic trips around the world with family and friends. She quenched her voracious appetite for knowledge and intellectual pursuits with books, reading the news and conversation -participating in at least two book clubs, Fortnightly Club, an investment club, and bridge clubs. She had an amazing gift of hospitality, always welcoming guests to her home. She also loved the simple pleasures of life such as cooking, outdoor dining, watching birds, playing tennis and a baby’s laugh. From her mother, Marion learned gardening and became an accomplished seamstress. She lived her life providing a role model of how to be kind to others and find joy in each day. Marion is survived by her five children: Jennifer Johnston McKenna (Kevin McKenna), Gail Viscome (Nick Viscome), Ann Johnston, David Johnston and Lucy Johnston-Walsh (Bill Johnston-Walsh); her niece Karen Bush of WA; two nephews, Cole Northup of WI and Craig Northup of OH; her 11 grandchildren, Sarah Rose Creedon (and Reid Creedon), Laura Ann Keefer (and Josh Keefer), Julia & Curt Viscome, John & Katy Cummings, Martin & Emily Sasso, Reilly, Drew & Aidan Johnston-Walsh; and one great grandson, Ezekiel (Zeke) James Creedon. She was predeceased by her parents, her brother, Russell Northup, her husband, James R. Johnston III and her son-in-law, Paul Cummings. A Service of Witness to the Resurrection celebrating her life will be held on Saturday, June 24th at 11:00 a.m. at Second Presbyterian Church, 528 Garland Drive, Carlisle with Rev. Dr. Jeffrey W Gibelius and Rev. Dr. James Gilchrist presiding. To honor Marion’s passion for children and books, all memorial contributions can be made to the Second Presbyterian Church. The funds will be directed to Letort Elementary School’s reading initiatives, where Marion had volunteered for several years.
