Peter Sadivnychy (December 24,1942 – May 8, 2026) Peter Sadivnychy, age 83, passed away on May 8, 2026. Born in Berlin, Germany, on December 24, 1942, to the late Daniel and Valentina (nee Opadtschy) Sadiwnytschy, Peter’s early life was marked by the resilience that defined him. After surviving WWII and years in European displaced persons camps, his family immigrated to the United States in 1951. They settled in Cleveland, sharing tenement housing with other families until they could establish a home of their own. In 1961, Peter proudly became a U.S. Citizen and enlisted in the Army. Serving from 1961 to 1964 as a Private E-1 and Marksman in the 3rd Armored Division, his military service remained a point of immense lifelong pride. Following his discharge, Peter embarked on the adventure of a lifetime, driving his Volkswagen Bug across the country on Route 66. He loved recounting the time he flipped his VW, only for locals to help him roll it back over so he could drive away toward his next adventure. Upon returning to Cleveland, Peter began working for Arnold Wholesale, where he met the love of his life, Lynn Sharon (nee Brown). They married on May 11, 1968, ...Read More

Allen R. Headley, age 58, of Birmingham, Iowa, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at 11:25 AM, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on August 16, 1967, Allen lived a life defined by loyalty, humor, and a quiet, steady strength.

"Today we lost Jeri…a wonderful and fully loving mom and wife. She was an amazing artist — of many different mediums: leaded glass, paint and pastel, and of course, quilting. Thankfully we have so many memories of her contained in her artwork that she will live on long after she is gone. She didn’t want a service of any kind, but we would love and appreciate it if all her many friends would take this space to share some of your favorite memories with everyone. One of the last things we laughed about was mom saying “please tell people not to bring any casseroles”! Instead of casseroles (or flowers) would you please consider sending a donation to an organization that is a favorite she has supported for many years: The Southwest Indian Foundation."

Whether he was pulling pranks, sharing a laugh, or chasing his next adventure, he lived fully and fearlessly. His passions knew no bounds: skydiving, golfing, bowling, racquetball, tennis, bike riding, speed ice skating, roller blading, and, of course, hitting the open road on his motorcycle.
