Cornelia Marie Joos, better known as "Neil," daughter of Jacob and Anna Nohl, was born on January 10, 1915, on the family farm near Hancock, Minnesota. Neil graduated 8th grade and helped at the household of her sister, Viola, who died from a brain tumor at an early age. She also was a caretaker and housekeeper for two older women who lived in Morris during her teenage years. At an early age, Neil knew that she loved to be creative and taught herself how to sew. She sewed for many friends and relatives over the years; everyone enjoying that they could just bring her a picture and not have to find a pattern. In these later years, you would often hear Neil say that she had been sewing for 80+ years. Her love of "stitching" also included beautiful quilts, and each of the grandchildren received a quilt for their wedding present. She also enjoyed gifting her quilted pillows to all the great-grandchildren and other relatives and friends. Neil tended her large garden on the farm, and always was ready to invite anyone who arrived from out of town or neighbors in for a meal. Her family especially loved her apple pies and skinny pancakes, and her caramel rolls were some of the best in town. Neil married David Emil Joos on September 30, 1937, and shortly after marrying they moved to their farm just west of Hancock on the Old Highway where they lived for 42 years. Fishing trips on Lake Winnie and other area lakes, as well as annual trips south and two trips to Germany, were always cherished time together for Dave and Neil. They moved to Hancock in 1980, and David died on February 25, 1985. Neil continued to live in Hancock surrounded by her sons and family and many relatives and friends (and also made many trips to visit her daughter and family in Montana), until she moved to West Wind Village in 2007. She really missed her "little house" in Hancock in these later years. Visits from the children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, friends and neighbors were always cause for celebration and a special meal. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to many. Cornelia died on June 18, 2011, at the age of 96, surrounded by her family. She is survived by her brother, Noah (Shirley) Nohl; two sons, Don (Jeanette), and Dave (Phyllis), of Hancock, and one daughter, Shirley (Dennis Arsenault) of Bozeman, Montana; and grandchildren: Greg (Sherryl), Steve (Karma), and Doug (special friend, Julie McCellen). Shelly (Tom Bobendrier), Eric (Angie), and Annie (Peter Geddis). Nicole (Michael Miles), Simone (Jeremy Hogan), Janine (Matthew Mohr). And 20 great-grandchildren, and many beloved nieces and nephews.

| 74 | Dennis Arsenault was born Sept. 1, 1942, in Westbrook, Maine, and peacefully departed this world in Scottsdale, Arizona, on Dec. 15, 2017, where he spent his final year valiantly battling pulmonary fibrosis. Respected and loved by his family and friends, Dennis was known for his infectious humor, his fondness for long books and current events, his ability to fix anything, his passion for travel, and his deep love and commitment to his family. Born of humble beginnings, Dennis worked from a young age before joining the Army at age 17. While serving, he fostered his love of travel, as he was stationed around the world in Beirut, Germany, Korea, and Vietnam. He took advantage of every R&R to ski everywhere he could, including in his beloved Montana. In the Army, Dennis attended jump school and became a paratrooper, bravely serving for four tours in Vietnam with the 101st Airborne Division. Before his last tour in 1971, he stopped over in Germany where he met his soulmate, Shirley Joos. They were married in May 1972 and made their first home in Frankfurt, Germany, welcoming their first daughter while living there. After moving back to the states, two more daughters were born, and Dennis retired from the military at the age of 37 and completed his education. He moved his family to Montana and began a career as a teacher, combining his life’s passion with his dream of living in the mountains. It was there where Dennis and Shirley lived and raised their family, spending many weekends on the ski hill, hiking, and with friends. Dennis taught math at Bozeman High School for over 20 years. During the summers, the family would move to Mountain Sky Guest Ranch, where Dennis was an integral part of the operation in facilities maintenance. Dennis was honored to welcome three sons-in-law to his family, and he considered them his sons. His three grandchildren were the light of his life and he had a special connection with each. In retirement, Dennis and Shirley explored the world, hopping military flights to Asia and Europe. Despite a terminal diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis in 2014, Dennis continued to live well, traveling the country by car and eventually settling with Shirley in Scottsdale where they enjoyed walking and exploring, even as his need for oxygen made it difficult. He continued to defy the odds and live a life of purpose and honor until his final days. Dennis was preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Leona Arsenault, and brothers, Martin and Gary. He is survived by his wife, Shirley; daughters, Nicole (Michael) Abby (15) and Oliver (11); Simone (Jeremy) Evalin (8); and Janine (Matt); two brothers, Richard and David. A memorial service will be held at Hope Lutheran Church at 10:00 AM on Wednesday, Dec. 27, officiated by Pastor Jon Bjorgaard.
