Murrel Edward Aaroe

He was born July 20, 1936 in Eureka, Kansas, to Murrel and Inez Aaroe. He was the oldest of three boys.

Murrel worked as a landing gear machinist for Cessna Aviation, in Wichita KS, for over 45 years.

Murrell enjoyed reading his Bible, traveling, gardening, and above all he never discovered an antique clock that he didn't want to own!

He was a God fearing man who greatly loved his wife, Beverly. He would do anything for her, including at her request, when she passed, that he move from Kansas to Indianapolis to be near his oldest daughter. The move gave him a new lease on life these past few years.

Murrel was a husband, a father, a grandfather, a great grandfather a brother, and a friend who will be missed by many.

Murrel is survived by his immediate family: daughters, Sherry (Rodney) Frieden, and Robin (Kirk) Cleveland;, stepson, Jerome (Shawna) Biggars and Robert (Cheryl) Biggars; stepdaughter, Cherie (Brian) Slater; brother, Gale (Harmina Mulder) Aaroe; and many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
