Alberta Louise Gillespie, “Honey” October 31, 1919 ~ September 25, 2022, 102 Years Old. On Sunday, September 25, 2022, Alberta “Honey” Gillespie, beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and aunt passed away in the presence of her loved ones in Danville, Indiana. She was 102 and 11/12 years old. As beautiful as her passing was, so were the 102 years that preceded it. Born Alberta Louise Swartz Halloween 1919 in Eugene Oregon, to parents Jim and Rena Belle Swartz, Honey was the last living sibling of her six brothers and sisters: Stanton, Violet, Ruth, Dorothy, Johnny and Carl. At just 16 years old, Honey married the love of her life, Ross Edward “Eddie” Gillespie, on September 2, 1936. They were blessed to have a lifelong 79-year marriage with three sons, six grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren.
Honey and Eddie traveled extensively on their journey through life together visiting all 50 states, Mexico, and Canada. Eddie preceded Honey in passing in 2014. Honey is survived by her sons, Wesley & Marsha Gillespie (Danville, IN), James & Jean Gillespie (Sadieville, KY), and Terry & Mary Jo Gillespie (Danville, IN) and all her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.
A lifelong Christian who loved her family, Honey faithfully served in numerous Church congregations and devoutly read her bible. She was a Sunday school teacher, sang in the Choir and thoroughly enjoyed caring for her siblings growing up. She enjoyed watching “The Wheel” and was known to show off her quick wit by solving the puzzles before any letters were revealed.
Honey was known by her family for her attentiveness and calm, loving spirit. She was also known for the pies she’d bake from scratch for special occasions. Honey’s pies, especially her chocolate pies – topped with homemade whipped cream – were prized holiday desserts quickly devoured by her family.
Eddie and Honey were inseparable and could usually be found tending to their beautiful garden. Like her mother, she loved flower gardening and always had peonies and snapdragons planted. In quiet moments after the yard work was done, she’d look across her yard and point out the wind gently blowing over the top of the blades of grass. She said those were the little fairies running across her yard. It was a crisp, Kodachrome day when Honey’s spirit went to be with the Lord. There was a gentle breeze, and the fairies were running through the grass, leading Honey to the eternal garden where Grandpa Eddie has been waiting for her.
A celebration of life was hosted on October 2nd at 2:00 PM at Eric M.D. Bell Funeral Home, 220 North Maple Street, Pittsboro, Indiana 46167. A more informal tribute with hors d’ oeuvres will follow. She will be dearly missed by all.

Dr Robert Gene Gillespie, age 87, a lifelong resident of Brownstown, Indiana, passed away on Friday, January 13, 2023, at Hoosier Christian Village surrounded by his loving family. Dr. Robert Gillespie was devoted to his family, his community, his faith and his 54-year career practicing veterinary medicine. Robert Gene Gillespie was born in Norton Infirmary in Louisville, Kentucky, on July 24, 1935, the son of the late Dr. & Mrs. G. R. Gillespie of Brownstown, Indiana. Dr. Gillespie was raised in the Brownstown Presbyterian Church, where he served as a Deacon, a trustee, an elder, and taught Sunday school. He graduated from Brownstown High School in 1953, attended Hanover College for two years, and transferred to Purdue University, where he graduated with his bachelor’s degree in 1957. Robert married Lela Nierman, his high school sweetheart, in 1957 before they moved to Manhattan, Kansas. In 1961, he completed his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree, and she finished her degree in education, both at Kansas State University. Subsequently, they moved back to Brownstown, where he opened Gillespie Veterinary Clinic in July 1961, and she began teaching school at Crothersville.
Gillespie Veterinary Clinic was in continuous operation for over 40 years in Brownstown, providing general veterinary medicine to both small and large animals. In 1993, Dr. Jack R. Gillespie (Bob’s brother), joined the clinic where they worked together before selling the practice in 2003. Following the sale of his practice, Dr. Robert Gillespie continued to perform spays and neuters for three area humane societies. He performed his last surgery and retired from Bartholomew County Humane Society 14 years later when he turned 81 years old. Throughout his years in practice, he served in various positions of the 9th district of the IVMA (Indiana Veterinary Medical Association), and he represented the 9th district at the state level for three years. He was appointed to the state veterinary licensing board by Governor Frank O’Bannon and served nine years, which included serving as President for three years and chief hearing officer for two years. He also represented the State of Indiana on the national organization of state veterinary boards, where he chaired the committee that made new rules. He was also a veterinarian at the Indiana State Fair for ten years.
Dr. Gillespie raced ponies during the 1970’s and chaired the United States Pony Trotting Association for three years. Over the years, Robert served his community on many other Boards as an officer or member. These organizations included Brownstown Jaycees, Vallonia Lions Club, Brownstown Chamber of Commerce, Jackson County 4-H council, and Camp Pyoca. He was one of the original board members at Pyoca and helped to clear the land.
Bob developed Buena Vista Estates on his farmland and sold his last lot in 2017. Robert was loved beyond measure by his wife, Jacque, children, and grandchildren. One of his greatest joys was his grandchildren and attending their events and programs. Lela Nierman Gillespie passed away in 1984. Dr. Gillespie then married Jacque Perry in 1985, and she survives in Brownstown. He and Jacque transferred to the Brownstown First Baptist Church, where he served as a Deacon.
