OBITUARIES –

† CARTER Paula Jo (Desgranges) Carter, 85, passed away on Sunday, May 21, 2023 with her family by her side. Paula was born on December 9th, 1937 to Paul and Frieda (Makley) Desgranges. She attended Woodland Schools before moving to Lake Odessa. After graduating from Lake Odessa High School in 1955 she earned a business degree from Davenport College. Paula married the love of her life, Merval Carter on October 19, 1956. Together they raised four children on the family farm. In 1971 Paula began her career for Lakewood Public Schools and retired as bookkeeper after 28 years of service. She was a member of the Woodland Women’s Club for several years where she made many friends and was a member of the Lakewood United Methodist Church.

Paula enjoyed cooking and baking for her family and friends. You never left her home feeling hungry. Anyone who visited Paula knew the delicious homemade cookies would be waiting to enjoy with great conversation. Bags and bags of cookies traveled out of her front door to be enjoyed later.

Paula was blessed to have a large family who loved spending time with her as much as she loved having the time with them. She cherished her grandkids dearly and they were a very important part of her life.

Paula was preceded in death by her husband Merv, parents Paul and Frieda Desgranges, sister Diana Wilfong, brother in law Jerry Benjamin and daughter in law Brenda Carter.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday, May 23, 2023 at Koops Funeral Chapel from 5pm until 8pm. Funeral services will be held at the Lakewood Church on Wednesday, May 24, 2023 at 11am.

If you’re like many outdoor enthusiasts, the warm months mean fun bonfire parties with sing-a-longs, scary stories

and s’mores, right in your backyard. But having a wood-burning firepit requires having a dedicated place to store firewood.

“A firewood rack is not only important for an organized yard, it protects your fuel source from moisture, making for less smoke and more efficient burning. While it might seem like a complicated build, it can be a simple, easy and quick weekend DIY project that will greatly improve your backyard experience,” says Jamie Briggs, director of marketing at Exmark, a leading manufacturer of lawn care equipment.

That’s the idea behind this “Done-In-A-Weekend Project” from Exmark: cinder blocks

Small Rack

• (2) 10-foot 2x4s (pressure treated)

• (2) standard cinder blocks

BUILD STEPS

1. Measure, mark, and cut your 2x4s into 5-foot pieces.

2. For the smaller rack, lay the two cinderblocks side by side, holes up. For the larger rack, place two of the cinderblocks at either end of the length of the landscape timber, holes up. Place the third cinderblock in the middle of the other two to work as support.

3. For the larger rack, lay the two lawn timber planks across the cinderblocks and then check to ensure they’re level.

4. For the smaller rack, turn the 2x4s so the wide sides are facing inwards. For the larger rack, place the cut 2×4 pieces into the holes of the cinderblocks, small sides facing inwards.

5. To ensure the security of your build, resituate the two lawn timbers so they’re as tightly placed against the 2×4 planks as possible.

6. Load up your wood!

To view the full video tutorial, visit Exmark’s Backyard Life site at https://backyard.exmark. com, a multimedia destination that provides homeowners with everything from grilling tips and design projects to gardening and lawn care advice.

“Our firewood rack gives you plenty of storage so you can keep your bonfire blazing for an entire party. It’s also one of the simplest builds we’ve ever done, and you’ll be able to make quick work of it over your weekend downtime,” says Briggs.
