Imogene Taylor Maechler & Richard Vincent Morris Maechler

Imogene Taylor Maechler, age 85, passed in her home with her family by her side on February 19, 2017.  She was born in Bolivar, Tennessee on March 26, 1931 to the late Rainey Columbus Taylor and Mittie Ann Roberts Taylor.

She was a Godly woman who dedicated her life to God pastoring The Whole Council of God Church, Inc. for the last 45 years.

She loved to cook, sew, shop, but most importantly, she loved reading her Bible every day. She was the most perfect example of how to live a Godly life and how to love and live God’s word. She taught God’s love and in return was surrounded by love by all who knew her. We will miss her wisdom, her teaching, her instructions, and her fun sense of humor.

She was an adored wife of her late husband Richard Maechler, a cherished mother of Larry Maechler and wife Carol of Mena, Carolyn Maechler Salerno and husband Tony of Springdale, Arkansas, Rick Maechler and wife Amy of Mena, Samantha Maechler of Mena, Patience Maechler Eddleman and husband Travis of Pea Ridge, Arkansas, and infant daughter Mary Maechler who proceeded her in death. She is a grandmother of fifteen, a great-grandmother of twenty-nine, and a great-great grandmother of three.

Funeral Services will be held Saturday, February 25, 2017 at 2:00 P.M. at the Whole Council of God Church Cemetery with Brother Robby Smalley officiating. Visitation will be Friday, February 24, 2017 at Bowser Family Funeral Home Chapel in Mena.

Pallbearers will be grandsons, Derek Maechler, Brian Maechler, Paul Maechler, Jon Maechler, Austin Stamps, and Danny Douglas.

The family requests all that knew her to post their memories, thoughts, and stories about her to the website www.bowserffh.com. Your comments will be printed into a book for the family to bring comfort and joy in years to come.

Richard Vincent Morris Maechler, age 94, passed away in his home surrounded by family on August 4, 2012. He was born January 30, 1918 in St. Louis, Missouri to the late Vincent Maechler and Matilda Nowack Maechler.

He loved his family, computers, photography, gardening, and there was nothing he couldn’t build or design. He always said he was born in a great time to see so many new inventions and ideas. He was loved by all he met. We miss his love, his ability to fix anything, and his sense of humor.

He served in the US Navy during WWII and was a painting and drywall contractor by trade. He was married to his loving wife, Imogene Taylor Maechler and was an adored father of Larry Maechler and wife, Carol Maechler of Mena, Carolyn Maechler Salerno and husband Tony of Springdale, Arkansas, Rick Maechler and wife Amy of Mena, Samantha Maechler of Mena, Patience Maechler Eddleman and husband Travis of Pea Ridge, Arkansas, and was preceded in death by his infant daughter Mary Maechler. To date he is a grandfather of fifteen, a great-grandfather of twenty-nine, and a great-great grandfather of three.

Sent for cremation after his death, his wife asked that his ashes be buried with her when she passed. Funeral services for them both will be held February 25, 2017 at the Whole Council of God Church Cemetery with Brother Robby Smalley officiating. Pallbearers are grandsons, Derek Maechler, Brian Maechler, Paul Maechler, Jon Maechler, Austin Stamps, and Danny Douglas.
