| Reading a series of obituaries from a single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational history of a community. These people were the local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives and school mates. They attended church together and engaged in "trade" or business. All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries. |

MICHAEL WILLIAM PACKARD passed away on Oct. 19,
2019. He was born on July 10, 1949 to Jane Jenkins Packard and Stanley Packard
in Wellsboro. Michael grew up in Mansfield and graduated from Mansfield High
School in 1967. He attended Mansfield State College for one semester before
beginning work at Tri-County Rural Electric Cooperative. Michael was trained as
a lineman by his father and his mentor, Robert Schwab. On Sept. 6, 1969, Michael
married Paula Sue Rogers at the Muhlenberg College Chapel in Allentown. This
September they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a family gathering
in Port Aransas. In June of 1975, Michael and his family moved to Colorado so
Michael could work as a lineman for Intermountain Rural Electric Cooperative and
attend college in the evenings. While in Colorado Michael completed an associate
degree in mathematics at Arapahoe Community College. He attended the University
of Colorado for one year and began his lifelong fascination with computers.
After three years working at Finley Engineering in Lamar, MO, Michael returned
to rural electric utilities at Dickens Electric Cooperative in Spur, TX as
operations manager. The Packard
family moved to Victoria, TX in 1983 and Victoria Electric Cooperative where
Michael stayed for 18 years. In 2000 Michael left VEC to become assistant
manager at South Texas Electric Cooperative in Nursery, TX. In 2014 he retired
after serving STEC as General Manager for 11 years. Michael's most treasured
work memories were the 14 years he spent with the great STEC employees,
including his son, John. Michael is survived by his wife, Paula, and two
children, Amy Packard and her husband Chris Jowaisas and John Packard and his
wife Amber Packard. Michael is also survived by five grandchildren: Henry,
Catherine, and Elizabeth Jowaisas and Sophia and Hannah Packard. He is survived
by a sister, Jeanette Nicolaisen and husband Ian of Madison, WI and a
sister-in-law, Linda Buonagurio and husband Mike of Leander, TX. Michael was a
great father to Amy and John. He played endless homemade games, helped with
school projects, and made up silly jokes. Michael loved the visits every time
Amy arrived from Seattle with her children and every time he saw John's
children, so he could make the jokes and play the games all over again. Since
retirement, Michael enjoyed growing flowers in his backyard, controlling every
device in his home with computers, playing with his dogs Ike and Tanner, and
hitting as many golf balls as possible. Paula was his golf partner as well as
his life partner. There will be a private burial service for Michael at the
Sullivan State Road Baptist Church Cemetery in Mainesburg. Memorial
contributions may be made to the Victoria Ballet Theatre or Our Lady of Victory
School. -Wellsboro Gazette 10/24/2019
