Mable Ruth Bohl, daughter of Joseph and Hilda (Saltzman) Perrill, was born on April 6, 1924 and passed away peacefully at the Andbe Home on January 29, 2019 at the age of 94.

Mable grew up on the family farm in Decatur County with 3 brothers and 5 sisters. She graduated from Lenora High School in 1943 and married William (Willie) Bohl, Jr. on January 27, 1945. Willie and Mable made their home in Norton County. Willie passed in 1971 and Mable resided in Norton until her death.

Mable was an American Legion Auxiliary member since 1970 and an Eagles Auxiliary member since 1972. She worked at the Andbe Home for 33 years as Head Housekeeper.

She held many Officer roles over the decades dedicating her time and service within the Legion Auxiliary. Her most proud accomplishment was the honor of being State Auxiliary Chairwoman for the Cadet Law Academy Program for 20 years from 1983 to 2003.

Mable volunteered for decades at the American Legion Hall in Norton preparing and serving countless meals for many occasions held there along side her sister, Erma Hackney. She retired from the Auxiliary in her late 80’s and was able to continue her passion for quilting in her home. Many Norton residents brought their quilts to Mable so that she may finish them as they liked. Her living room was large enough that a full size quilt rack became a permanent piece of furniture and she could easily quilt while answering the Daily Double on Jeopardy or watching any sports broadcast, especially Royals baseball.

Mable enjoyed spending time with her nephew and nieces and their children, attending school activities, cheering them on at sporting events and family dinners.

Mable was preceded in death by her parents, husband, an infant son at birth and brothers: Lloyd, Elmer, Louis, sisters: Erma Hackney, Gladys Minshall, Ivalee Grove, Ellen Couchet, and Mille Byrne.

Survivors include many nephews, nieces, great nephews and great nieces.
Mable was laid to rest quietly, as she wished on Saturday, February 2, 2019 with a private burial in the Norton cemetery.
