Lehrl Van Dalen, long-time PCM Food Pantry volunteer, passed away on December 28, 2025.

Lehrl served as the PCM Food Pantry Board President for the past six years. Lehrl will be missed by the neighbors he served and the volunteers with whom he worked. Lehrl’s stories about growing up, fishing, serving in the military with his buddy Marty, driving trucks and driving tour busses, as well as his jokes, will be missed. Over the past few years, as he mastered technology on his phone, he proudly shared pictures of cute little babies that had become part of his family.

Lehrl, thanks for being a friend to many.

Lehrl’s memorial service will be Saturday, January 24 at the Presbyterian Church in Monroe, Iowa. A celebration of life open house will follow from noon – 3 p.m. at Gateway Recreation Center, 117 S Taylor Street.

All gifts to the PCM Food Pantry are appreciated. It might be the $5 bill that shows up in mail. It might be the checks that come from folks within and outside of our communities.

Thanks to all who have supported the PCM Food Pantry this year!
