Abel, Allan John (1930-2023)
[Veteran] Korea, US Army, 1954-56 [Family] Father: Alfred Abel Sr, Mother: Isabella Bolten, Spouse: Dorothy Schultz [Cemetery] Oak Knoll Cemetery () , FG
Fort Bend Herald, May 9, 2023:
Allan John Abel, 93, passed away peacefully on April 29, 2023 after a short four-month stay at Oak Haven Assisted Living in Industry, Texas. He was born on January 14, 1930 to Alfred Abel Sr. and Isabella Bolten Abel.
At the age of 24, he was drafted into the Army for the Korean War. With the exception of the two years he spent serving in the Army, Allan lived his entire life on the Abel Farm which has been in the family for 150 years. He started his farming adventures at the age of 13 with a five-acre watermelon crop. At age 16, he quit school to become a full-time farmer. Eventually, he got into the cattle business when he started a feedlot operation. Eighteen years ago, Allan added his hay business to his list of business endeavors. On any given Tuesday, Allan could be found at the Industry Livestock Auction.
Allan was hard-working and independent up until age 92 as he worked his cattle, land, and hay business with the help of Sue Horn. Allan was a lifelong member of St. John Lutheran Church of Bellville. He met Dorothy, his perfect helpmate and wife, of 37 years at a singles dance in Needville. Most weekends they could be found on the dance floor and sometimes even with a grandchild in tow. He and Dorothy were members of the Needville, Sealy, and Wallace Dance Clubs. If there were three dances in a weekend in the area, they would be at all three. After Dorothy's stroke, their dancing days came to an end. Allan continued to show his devotion to Dorothy by caring for her and eventually driving 1-2 times a week to spend the day with her in the Needville nursing home. He continued his love for polka dancing by watching Molly B's Polka Party on Saturday evenings in the comfort of his home.
He is survived by his wife, Dorothy Schultz Abel; step-children, Gary Meyer of Guy, Suzanne (Rob) Mullins of Boling, Glenn Meyer of Wallis, Renee (Scott) McCrea of Argyle; grandchildren, Justin (Katie) Meyer, Nicole Mullins (Corey), Michael Mullins (Heather), Ashley (Brittani) Conti, Cody Meyer, Grant McCrea, Avery McCrea, Morgan Meyer, and Riley McCrea; 8 great-grandchildren; niece, Carole Baezner; and numerous great and great-great-nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Alfred Sr. and Isabella Abel; twin brother Alfred Jr.; sisters, Mercedes Graeber and Wilma Abel; and brother-in-law, Lonnie Graeber.
The family would like to express their deepest appreciation to Sue Horn, the many caregivers from Life Changes, Oak Haven Assisted Living, and Brazos Valley Hospice, as well as Bruce Grebe of St. John Lutheran Church who made regular visits to Allan.

She also leaves behind close friends and neighbors, Dewayne and Catherine Burger, Don and Janet Allphin, Janice Brown and friends from her church family.
Lena grew up on a farm in Kansas. She often reminisced about things that happened as a child growing up in a large family in rural life. On April 10, 1944 she married John Acebo in Beatrice, Nebraska. Soon after, they moved to Houston, Texas where they lived and worked for many years. In 1980, after retirement, they moved to Bellville where they were one of the original home owners on Machemehl Drive in the Meadows Subdivision.

Lena was a devoted member of Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Bellville. She cherished the times she could be at church and appreciated so much the hugs and handshakes from fellow parishoners and friends who made the effort to do so. It made her feel good, especially in these last few years. She especially appreciated those who came to her home to give her communion. Thank you to B. J. Gutowsky, Marilyn Zaskoda and Jackie Stewart for your extra care of Lena!
Lena lived a very independent life right up to the end, still living at home until her death. In spite of poor eyesight and hearing, Lena wanted to do for herself as much as she could. She wanted to be on good terms with everyone and tried to see the best in things. She believed that worrying about things did no good, especially things you cannot do anything about. Her faith was strong and carried her through many hard times in her widowed years.
She had a special laugh and a twinkle in her eye that was the signature of her spirit and personality. We will miss her, but we know she is in a better place and happy to be back with her family and loved ones again.
Visitation was noon-1:30 on Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2014, with a Rosary at 1:30 and funeral service at 2 p.m. at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Bellville. Interment was in Oak Knoll Cemetery in Bellville. Pallbearers were Dewayne Burger, Roy Acebo. Richard Acebo, Don Allphin, Chase Marshall and Daryl Allphin.
Memorials in Lena's memory may be made to Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Bellville or a charity of your choice.
