Services were 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at St. Peter's United Church of Christ in Mapleton, with the Rev. Don Studley officiating. Burial was at Mt. Hope Cemetery. Herman Willam Henry Bockelmann was born Dec. 14, 1915, in Monona County, Iowa, to William and Emma (Rosberg) Bockelmann. He grew up in the Schleswig and Charter Oak, Iowa, areas. He attended country school and Lutheran school in Charter Oak. Herman was confirmed at St. John's Lutheran Church in Charter Oak. After eighth grade, he left school to help his parents and others with farming. On Dec. 18, 1935, Herman was united in marriage to Edna Kuehl at St. Peter's United Church of Christ in Mapleton. They began farming west of Berne, Iowa. In 1938, he started a trucking business along with farming, which continued until 1944, when he sold his trucks. Herman and Edna had two children, JoAnn and LoWayne "Doc." They continued farming, and in the early 1950s Herman also helped Francis Greggerson with trucking. In 1971, Herman and Edna had a farm sale and moved to Mapleton due to Edna's health. Herman worked at Coast to Coast and continued helping area farmers, as he always loved the farm. In 1975, Edna passed away. In 1976, Herman was united in marriage to Bonita (Passick) Mohr, and they remained living in Mapleton. Herman worked at the Schleis farm (Al, Dick, and Loretta). After Al passed away, Herman continued to work with Dick and Loretta with farming and livestock. Herman enjoyed being out on the farm, and we are sure that Dick and Loretta could tell many stories about him as Herman told many stories about Dick as well. In January 2009, Herman and Bonita moved to the Eventide Senior Housing in Denison. In May 2010, they moved to Eventide Nursing Home in Denison. Herman and Bonita enjoyed many years of traveling and stayed several winters in Arizona and Florida. He was very involved with the church and was always willing to help out. Herman enjoyed visiting with his many, many friends in the community. He also really enjoyed visiting with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren during visits and the holidays. He really enjoyed playing Euchre with family and friends, and he would win most of the time (skill and luck on his side). His coffee outings with friends at the Beef 'n' Brew was one of his highlights. He is survived by his wife, Bonita; two children, Joann and Ronald Maack of Charter Oak and Doc and Mary of Richmond, Va.; five grandchildren; four stepgrandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; eight great-stepgrandchildren; a sister, Arlene Kiepe of Denison; a sister-in-law, Ethel Bockelmann of Denison; along with many cousins and friends. Herman was preceded in death by his wife, Edna; his parents, William and Emma Bockelmann; three brothers, Albin, LuVern, and William; two sisters-in-law, Ruth and Opal; a brother-in-law, Fred Kiepe; and a stepdaughter, Theon Hoover Dempseny.
