[Click this photo to see the blank Certificate!]

About 25 years ago I suggested that we give Certificates of Appreciation to TSGS members for promoting the society, genealogy or other related activities. Usually the President of TSGS prepares these certificates with signatures, dates and recipient's name. This year Karin Kirsch was the TSGS President and was passing out the certificates to several deserving members. Mary Lou Bevers was being recognized, but the certificate was blank... e veryone got a big laugh out of it and later the signatures, date & Mary Lou's name was inscribed! Click on the photo to get an enlarged view of that blank certificate.

I asked Edna Kasper (a former TSGS President & dear friend) to help me design the original certificate. People in the photo: standing - Karin Kirsch; seated with certificate is Mary Lou Bevers with her husband Jim looking over her shoulder; in the background just above the certificate you can see Marge Kinsey (another former TSGS President, now deceased) with Doris Katterhenry seated next to her; then seated across from Mary Lou is Janet Goebel (recently deceased) with her husband. -Submitted by JGWest

Janet Carol Goebel...

...died this 01 Oct 2009

She was a genealogist, an LDS Family History Librarian, and a friend. At the May meeting of this year Janet was scheduled to give us some tips for researching at her library. She worked at Sam's as a food product sample promotion lady. Becky & I would see her 2 or 3 times each month. She attended some of our TSGS meetings, but the LDS Library was open on the same night and she had to be there. Her and a friend usually had an LDS table at our seminars. Janet always was friendly and had a great smile that made you feel good to see her. We will dearly miss her.

Here is her obiturary from the Sunday Evansville Courier & Press:

Janet Carol Goebel, 71, of Evansville, services 10 am Monday at The Church of Latter Day Saints, entombment at Memorial Park Cemetery. Visitation is Noon to 6 pm today [04 Oct] at Browning Funeral Home and 9 am to services Monday at the church.
