Karen S. Brown, age 80, passed away peacefully on March 1, 2023 in Long Beach, CA.

Karen was born on August 14, 1942 in Great Bend, KS, the first born child of Vernon and Delma Stenzel of Ness City, KS. &nbsp;

She is survived by her children, Steve Brown (Susan) of New York, NY, and Stephanie Kenny (Scott) of Brentwood, CA, and her four grandsons (Matthew and Owen Brown and Danny and Michael Kenny). &nbsp;She is also survived by her siblings, Bonnie Legg (Joseph) of Niantic, CT; Rick Stenzel (Deb) of Ness City, KS; and Patti Pfannenstiel (Tim) of Salina, KS, and many nieces and nephews. &nbsp;In addition to the foregoing, Karen is survived by a sisterhood of lifelong friends which were her extended family.

Karen’s early childhood was spent in the family’s rented farmhouse near Bazine until the new family home was built in Ness City in 1950. &nbsp;

While at Ness City High School, Karen cultivated her love of music -- playing baritone saxophone in concert and jazz band and singing in choral groups; she was blessed with a beautiful alto voice. &nbsp;Karen left Ness City to pursue her interests in music and education at Kansas University; she graduated with a BS degree in education in 1964. &nbsp;She was active in the regional California leadership of the Girl Scouts of America in the 1970s-1980s. &nbsp;In the 1980s she entered the insurance industry, rising through the ranks to management in training and human resources, ultimately retiring from State Farm Insurance in 2007.

The loves of Karen’s life were her children and her grandsons. &nbsp;She cherished time spent with them, visiting whenever possible, playing games with her grandchildren and catching up on her children’s lives in daily (yes, daily) telephone calls. &nbsp;The Stenzel family reunion every 4th of July weekend was a highlight; Karen so enjoyed the convergence of her family from all parts of the country to Ness City and watching her grandsons play in her childhood yard in Ness. &nbsp;Americana at its best was celebrated with family gathered after dinner in a semicircle of lawn chairs in the breeze of a Kansas summer evening while fireworks rang overhead late into the night.

Karen Brown loved spending meaningful time with friends. &nbsp;She organized annual camping trips with family and friends, which eventually ended with her singing around a campfire, accompanying the group with her guitar. &nbsp;She had a passion for theater, particularly musicals, and attended performances on Broadway or touring companies in Los Angeles. &nbsp;She also loved attending concerts in the park, playing bridge and travelling.

Although Karen left KU in 1964, KU never left Karen. &nbsp;She was a huge Jayhawk fan, with men’s basketball a particular passion. &nbsp;In fact, the night before she passed she watched her beloved Jayhawks beat Texas Tech in a close game (67-63).

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Karen’s memory may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Ness City Bank Building Foundation.

Words of comfort and support may be left for the family by signing the guestbook.

Cody James Tanner, 9, of Norton, KS passed away June 23, 2023. He was born November 13, 2013 in Maryville, MO to Timothy Steven and Amy Michelle (Barber) Tanner.

Cody lived in Clarinda, Iowa until moving to North Platte, NE in 2017 and then to Norton, KS in March of 2022 with his family. 

From the moment he could walk Cody was drawn to anything with wheels. Always observant to how things worked, he could play for hours with marble runs or cars. Sweet, precise, full of energy, and aware of people’s needs, he was eager to help on the farm and share what he was learning. He loved riding dirt bikes, playing with his dog, kittens, and farm toys, and being goofy with his sister at home. Cody had a big heart and loved his family. His name means ‘helper’ and although, Amy and Tim didn’t name him with that meaning in mind, he lived up to it. After a good day of working with his dad and uncle and spending time with his sister, he left home with a full heart on a ride that ended in a sudden and heartbreaking accident.

Cody was preceded in death by his infant brother, Samuel Tanner.

A Celebration of Life will be held 11:00 a.m. Friday, June 30, 2023 at the Norton Christian Church. A visitation will begin at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, June 29 also at the church.

Galyn Wayne Peterson, Stockton, KS, passed away on June 26, 2023, at the Rooks County Health Center in Plainville, KS at the age of 90. He was born on May 24, 1933, in Waterville, KS to Carl and Clara (Minge) Peterson. 

He married Christine Peterson on December 20, 1953, in Waterville. They were blessed with two sons, David Wayne and Gary Lee, and one stillborn daughter.

Galyn grew up in Waterville and graduated from Marysville High School in 1951. While in school he was involved in KAYS, FFA and 4-H. In high school art class, he drew the blueprint for the Lutheran Church in Waterville.

After graduation he owned his own farm and raised cattle and pigs. At night he hauled fat cattle to St. Joseph, MO. He and Christine moved to Stockton in 1955 to be a herdsman for the Schneider Ranch. He later became assistant manager of the Stockton Alfalfa Plant. Several years later in 1969 he started his own business, Peterson Hay Company.

Galyn enjoyed coffee at local coffee shops, his bountiful vegetable gardens, sweetcorn patches, raising cattle, and attending bull sales and local cattle auctions. In his early years he enjoyed bowling on his league team and attending horse races with his friends. He could always be found on a Saturday night with his family enjoying supper at The Red Kitten or VFW in Stockton. He loved teaching his grandkids about caring for the land and livestock by showing them the ropes from feeding 150 head of baby Holstein calves and selling produce from the gardens, to running the hay equipment in the fields.

Galyn is survived by his sons, David (Vicky) Peterson and Gary Peterson, both of Stockton; four grandchildren, D.J. (Gloria) Peterson, Andy (Chelsey) Peterson, Gayla (Justin) Whitney, and Myles (Carrie) Peterson; and six great-grandchildren, Emery, Finley, Ryker, Ainsley, Calia, and Kendra.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Clara Peterson; wife, Christine; and brother Millard Peterson.

A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, June 30, 2023, at the Stockton United Methodist Church in Stockton, KS. Burial will follow in the Stockton City Cemetery. Visitation will be on Thursday, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. at Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home in Stockton.

Joan Elizabeth Bates, of Wichita, Kansas, passed away on June 24, 2023, at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, at the age of 71. She was born on May 23, 1952, in Damar, Kansas, to Fredrick Edward and Bertha Blanche (Meanard) Knipp. 

She grew up in Damar and graduated from Damar High School in 1970. 

On May 14, 1977, she married Linden Duwana Bates at the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Damar.

Joan ran a daycare for many years. The kids were such a joy to her, and she treated them like her own. She watched them until she took her last step. She always put others before herself. Even after a long day she would still make sure her family was taken care of. 

She enjoyed being in the kitchen, cooking and baking; her cinnamon rolls were the best. She couldn’t take her eyes away even for a second because her daughters would always mess up the dough! 

In the evening she loved playing on her tablet; Cookie Jam and Candy Crush games were her favorite. She also loved to search Pinterest for new things to cook, and ideas to decorate and renovate the house. 

She enjoyed watching sports - especially her grandkids’ events, and Friday nights playing bingo with her sisters, laughing and joking around. She was very sociable and loved to talk to other people. She loved her bed fully loaded with pillows and blankets to keep her warm, and she loved her husband, her kids, and her grandkids more than words can describe.

On May 14, 1977, she married Linden Duwana Bates at the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Damar.Joan ran a daycare for many years. The kids were such a joy to her, and she treated them like her own. She watched them until she took her last step. She always put others before herself. Even after a long day she would still make sure her family was taken care of. She enjoyed being in the kitchen, cooking and baking; her cinnamon rolls were the best. She couldn’t take her eyes away even for a second because her daughters would always mess up the dough! In the evening she loved playing on her tablet; Cookie Jam and Candy Crush games were her favorite. She also loved to search Pinterest for new things to cook, and ideas to decorate and renovate the house.
