Frances Saucier
9/17/2024
Frances L. Saucier, 94, of Washington, passed away on September 15, 2024. Mrs. Saucier, daughter of the late Bernard (Ben) and Lucille (nee Selz) Buhr, was born on January 18, 1930, in Washington. She received her education from St. Francis Borgia High School. On May 3, 1952, she was united in marriage to William E. Saucier at the St. Francis Borgia Church. Frances was an artistic and resourceful woman. As a young mother she loved to play volleyball and coach her younger daughters’ grade school volleyball teams. She loved to sew, quilt and play cards. She was a weekly quilter at St. Francis Borgia and Our Lady of Lourdes, and an active member of the SFB Ladies Sodality. Along with many of her friends, she was one of the dessert ladies at the K of C Friday Fish Fry. A self-taught painter, she learned her skills from Bob Ross on Channel 9. She belonged to the K of C Auxiliary and helped cater for many events. Get-togethers with family and friends frequently involved board games, or more often card games. Pinochle was the family game of choice, but she enjoyed a good poker game too. Frances always had a project. She loved to travel with her friends and see the sites, but she always loved coming home. As life slowed down, she turned to reading, Scrabble, gin rummy and enjoying her family. She loved a good puzzle on a rainy day. The motto she lived by was "run as hard as you can as fast as you can as long as you can". She was dedicated to her church and helped whenever asked. She accepted challenges and conquered all, never desiring recognition for her work. Most of all, Frances was a loving mother and grandmother and role model for all. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, William Saucier; siblings, Karl Buhr and wife Helen, Katie Marquart and husband Vern, Bess Frederick, and son-in-law, Donald Burhans.

Tarlton Pitman
9/11/2024
Tarlton "Jim" Pitman, a cherished husband, father, Papo, and pillar of the Wentzville community, passed away peacefully on September 9, 2024, at the age of 92. Born on May 26, 1932, in Saint Louis, Missouri, Jim was a man whose life was defined by service, leadership, and the joy he found in the great outdoors.

Jim's journey began in Saint Louis, where he was born to the late Tarlton E. Pitman and Annetta Pitman (nee: Nienhueser) that instilled in him the values of hard work and community service. He carried these values throughout his life, touching many hearts along the way. After graduating from the Military Academy, Jim continued his education at Westminster College, followed by Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. His pursuit of knowledge did not stop there, as he further honed his skills at Mortuary College and National Funeral Director College.

Inheriting a legacy of dedication to service from his father, Tarlton E. Pitman, Jim took over the family tradition that began in 1922.  He continued to build upon this legacy with a deep commitment to his community, which was evident through his extensive involvement in various organizations. Pitman Funeral Home is one of the oldest, running family owned business’s in St. Charles County with multiple locations. It has now been passed on to 3rd generation Eric Pitman.  As a past President of the Wentzville Rotary Club, served on the Missouri Funeral Directors Association and the Missouri Funeral Trust board, Jim's leadership and passion were unmistakable. Jim was a long time member of the Wntzville Community Historical Society. His influence extended to his role as a Past Director at Commerce Bank, and his service on the St. Joseph Hospital Board reflected his enduring commitment to the welfare of those around him.

Jim was a member of the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Wentzville, Missouri, and was also a past member of the Wentzville Athletic Association and a Charter member of the St. Charles County Ambulance District. The Pitman's have served the area with the ambulance service since the first motor driven vehicle was designed for the funeral profession. They were in the ambulance business until the 1970's.  His civic contributions didn't end there; he was instrumental in founding the Wentzville Library Board and the Wentzville Boy Scout Club, leaving a lasting impact on the educational and character-building opportunities available to the youth in his community.

His love for the outdoors was as vast as the terrains he explored. An avid hunter, Jim embarked on numerous hunting trips across the globe. From the challenging pursuit of grizzly bears in Alaska to dove hunting in South America, his adventures took him to Nicaragua, Mexico, Canada, and Colombia. His passion for hunting was only matched by his love for coaching, as he dedicated his time to guiding young athletes in the Wentzville Khoury League.

Jim's legacy is carried on by his loving family, who were the center of his world. He leaves behind his devoted wife, Harriet Pitman (nee: Heimlich), his son Eric (Becky) Pitman, his daughter Angela (Joe) Kortkamp (nee: Pitman), and his adored grandchildren Kelsey, Katanna, Kevin, Kendall, Max, Olivia, and A.J. Each of them will remember Jim for his unwavering support, his infectious enthusiasm for life, and the wisdom he imparted.

As we bid farewell to Tarlton "Jim" Pitman, we celebrate a life lived to the fullest, marked by an enduring commitment to service and a profound love for his family and community. His was a life that exemplified leadership, kindness, and a zest for adventure that will continue to inspire all who knew him. Jim's memory will be treasured forever in the hearts of his family, friends, and the many lives he touched.

In honor of Jim, donations may be made to: Immanuel Lutheran Church or Donor's Choice

Katy Arbuthnot
8/24/2024
Katy M. Arbuthnot, 41, of St. Louis, passed away on August 19, 2024. Mrs. Arbuthnot, daughter of Kenneth and Christine Feldmann, nee Freitag, was born on April 11, 1983, in Washington. She received her education from St. Francis Borgia Regional High School, Fontbonne University, Southeast Missouri State University, and Lindenwoood University. On November 27, 2010, she was united in marriage to Robert Arbuthnot Jr. at St. Gertrude’s Church. She attended St. Pius V Catholic Church in St. Louis. Katy’s job was to teach Math and Project Lead the Way STEM classes at Oakville Middle School in the Mehlville School District. But, her mission was to teach life skills, respect, love, acceptance, joy and to create space for all to thrive, regardless of our differences. She often shared stories of her students’ accomplishments and tenacity. She perceived her students as the light, illuminating a better world, compact with kindness and empathy. Katy saw unique potential in all students. She advocated passionately to highlight opportunities for growth and advancement, especially across underrepresented communities. Katy championed diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives at Oakville Middle School, where she was employed for 18 years, and Betty Wheeler Classical Junior Academy, where she was a member of the PTO. There are countless ways that Katy gave forward, maximizing every hour of the day to make a difference in the lives of others. At Betty Wheeler, the school her daughters attend, Katy coordinated the Eye See Me book fair, ran the Buzz Book, led a Girl Scout troop, supported Girls on the Run, accepted responsibility to be the PTO treasurer, and so much more. She encouraged her girls to get involved and pursue their interests. They participate in everything from robotics and book club, to musicals and flag football. To say Katy had a servant's heart is an understatement. Katy's passion to serve others, combined with her unique ability to make sure that everyone feels included, her warm energy, and contagious smile were true gifts to us all. All who knew her are stronger because of Katy, and her impact will last for years to come. In the words of Maya Angelou, "A great soul serves everyone all the time." This sentence perfectly describes Katy. Her impact is indeed woven into the fabric of countless lives she touched; her parents, siblings, family members, childhood besties, dear friends, students, co-workers, and even someone on the sidewalk or at the store. She will also be remembered for her brilliant smile and contagious laugh. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Eloy and Rosemary Freitag; paternal grandparents, Cornelius and Mary Elda Feldmann; mother and father-in-law, Gloristeen and Robert Arbuthnot Sr.; aunt, Connie Struckhoff; uncle, Robert Rothrock and two sisters-in-law, Victoria Brush and Cynthia Battle. Among her survivors are her husband, Robert Arbuthnot Jr. of St. Louis; two children, Lillian and Raegan Arbuthnot; parents, Kenneth and Christine Feldmann of Washington; three siblings, Ryan Feldmann and significant other Michelle Leesmann of Washington, Rachel Paul and husband Kris of St. Louis, and Kristopher Feldmann and wife Jenna of Washington; Aunts and uncles, Cynthia Glastetter and husband Robert, Gregory Freitag and wife Cynthia, Robert Struckhoff, Carlene Rothrock, Kathleen Marquart and husband Rick, and Kevin Feldmann and wife Janice; brothers and sisters-in-law, Perris Parker and wife Meryl and Casandra Davis and husband Tim; nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends. A visitation will be held on Sunday, August 25, 2024, from 1-6 p.m. at Nieburg-Vitt, Miller Funeral Home.

She was an extremely hard worker, and her attention to detail was second to none as evidenced not only in her career as a hair stylist but in her many years as an administrative assistant for Chester B. Franz and Hochschild, Bloom and Dardick. Retirement provided an opportunity for Shirley to embrace her passion for gardening and fishing. The grandchildren, especially, enjoyed learning to fish with “Grandma and Grandpa.” Numerous fish fries were held from the many fish, mainly crappie, that Shirley and Frank caught at Mark Twain Lake. As a member of the Elks, she enjoyed helping with the chicken and fish dinners as well as assisting in the making of Christmas gift baskets. Shirley was also competitive as evidenced in her many games of shuffleboard with “the girls”. She also enjoyed Pinochle, reading, and quilting. No doubt, our great Lord will welcome her with open arms, expecting her to be ready to fish and play shuffleboard with those who are waiting for her to arrive. Visitation will be held at Nieburg-Vitt, Miller Funeral Home in Washington, MO, on Tuesday, August 27, from 9 to 10:30 am, with a funeral mass to follow at 11 am at St. Gertrude’s Parish in Krakow, MO.
