Norman “Glenn” Jones, 84, Lenora, Kansas passed away at his home, 
January 9, 2023. He was born January 6, 1939, in Rural Graham County 
Kansas, the sixth of ten children, to Ivan and Vera (Hodge) Jones. 
Glenn, as he was known to everyone, attended school in Lenora, 
graduating in 1957. During his high school days, he loved playing 
basketball. Even though he wasn’t tall, he was a good ball handler and 
was very quick. He always said with how involved he was with sports, he 
didn’t have time for girls. However, he became very interested in a 
lovely gal from Bogue, Leola “Lee” Johnson, the love of his life. Glenn 
and Lee were married March 28, 1965, in Bogue. They were blessed with 
two beautiful daughters, Janeil Lynn and Lisa Marie.

Glenn
 served in the United States Army from February of 1962 to February of 
1964. He was stationed in Ingrades, France and went to diesel mechanic 
school in Germany. He served in the Army Reserves from 1964 to 1968. As a
 child he received a Sunday School certificate of perfect attendance for
 five straight years. In October of 1967 Glenn made his most important 
decision and decided to serve the Lord! He was saved right here in the 
Church of God in little Lenora, Kansas under Pastor Bud Williams. As an 
adult he went on to teach Sunday School, served as Chairman of the Board
 for years and was involved in Teens for Christ. Glenn and Lee visited 
the Holy Land with a group from the Lenora Church of God in 1982 to walk
 where Jesus walked.

Glenn farmed for 
decades, including the ground where he was born. For several years Glenn
 owned and operated Glenn’s Drilling, a water well drilling company. 
Although he made a living farming, his passion for the soil was his 
garden. Glenn was known in several counties for his tomatoes as well as 
several other vegetables. His family will also tell you he made the best
 chicken gravy and caramel popcorn. His greatest gift was his music. 
Glenn and his brother Carl used to sing in competitions. Some people 
thought they sounded like the Everly Brothers. Glenn used his musical 
gift as a ministry to comfort others at funerals and rejoice with them 
at weddings. He led the singing in the Lenora church for years with his 
guitar in hand. He played by ear. Glenn sang until he started losing his
 voice. But make no mistake, his voice came back, and he’s shouting, 
praising, and worshipping in Glory.

Glenn
 was preceded in death by his parents; two grandchildren, Chelsea Barlow
 and Cody Barlow; an infant sister Valera Inez Jones; sisters:  Ruby 
Riemann, Marilyn Hadley, and Valeta Poage; brothers: Darwin Dean Jones, 
Carl Ivan Jones, and Darrel Wayne Jones;  Survivors include his wife of 
57 years, Lee, Lenora; a son from a previous marriage, Steve Boone of 
Timken; two daughters Janeil Lynn and husband Charley Middlebrooks of 
Niceville, Florida and Lisa Marie and husband Trevor Barlow of Lenora; 
eight grandchildren; nine great grandchildren; two sisters June Stockman
 and husband Keith and Joyce Hodges and husband Terry Smith all of 
Colorado Springs; and a brother-in-law Kenny Riemann of Edmond.

Cathryn Irene (McDaneld) Dugan passed away on January 7th with all 
three of her daughters by her bedside. She was born on November 26th, 
1923, the youngest of six and the only girl. Having five older brothers 
shaped her life. They protected her and taught her how to be the 
confident, self-assured person who she was. She endured many hardships 
in her young life that also had an impact on her. When she was 8, Ora, 
one of her brothers died at age 16. Around age 11 (Mom couldn’t remember
 exactly), her appendix burst, and they thought she would die. Being the
 stubborn person, we all knew her to be, she survived. When she was 19, 
George, another brother, died in the POW camp after the Bataan Death 
March. Living during the Dust Bowl years taught her what was important 
in life, and it wasn’t fame and fortune. Family, Friends, and Loving 
animals made her rich beyond belief.

In 1949, she married Cleo 
Dugan. Good thing he was a good “girl dad”, since they had three 
daughters: Judy, Vickie, and Lori. Cathryn worked in the Osborne County 
Hospital for many years and retired from there when she was 65. She 
always wanted to have an animal rescue but had to settle for just 
rescuing as many animals as she could. During her retirement, she and 
her brother Neil tended a huge garden from which everyone benefited. 
Cleo passed away in 2004. She began traveling to see Vickie in Oregon, 
Judy in Nebraska and Kansas and Lori in North Carolina, Ohio, and 
Indiana.

As her arthritis worsened, she was no longer able to live
 alone. At first an “at home” caregiver was used, but it just didn’t 
work out. She stayed with Lori for two years and then came to live with 
Judy. Her caregiver for all of those years was Becky Christman, who 
loved her like a Mom and became family.

Cathryn lived a very long 
and good life. Many friends have entered her life and never left her 
heart. The best parts of her are in all three of her daughters. She 
inspired them all to be courageous and stand up for their beliefs. 
Everyone was equal in her eyes. There was no prejudice for those who 
didn’t look like her. Her smile was contagious, and it was real. The 
twinkle in her eyes never left. Left to continue her legacy are Judy, 
Vickie, and Lori (Madeline) and a host of nephews, nieces, 2 
sisters-in-law&nbsp;Phyllis and Marvel, other family members and friends.

She
 was preceded in death by her husband, Cleo; her parents, Logan, and 
Ella; her brothers, Frank, Grant, Ora, Neil and George; her 
brothers-in-law, Jake, Alvin and Les, her sisters-in-law, Pearl, June, 
Sylva, Mary and Venda; her grandson, Tyler.

She loved everyone (well ALMOST everyone) and we know she would like to thank several people.

Thanks
 to ASCEND HOSPICE, especially Jean, Michelle, Danielle, Brooke, Anne, 
Taylor, Tamara, and anyone else whose name is missing.

Thanks to her Indiana family: Madeline, Tyler &amp; Paige, Kyle, Mark, and Marcie, who provided care and love.

Thanks to Bobby and Darlene for watching over the farm and truly being family in every sense of the word.

Thanks
 to her “Water Guy”, T.J. for always making her feel special and taking 
time to just talk to her. He always told her “If you were 30 years 
younger, we’d be dating!” It always put a smile on her face at just the 
mention of his name.

Thanks to Debbie and Dr. Ryan who kept her teeth clean and healthy and to Dr. Gerard who kept her seeing as well as possible.

Thanks
 to neighbors (and former neighbors), Jamie &amp; Nicole, Dan &amp; 
Sherry (and Marshall), Brendan &amp; Maria and Terry &amp; Anita (and 
Alyssa).

Donations in her memory may be sent to any of these three Organizations (PLEASE include “In Memory of Cathryn Dugan”):

Berdena Ruth (Veatch) Whisman, of Palco, KS, passed away on 
January 8, 2023, at her home in Palco, at the age of 92. She was born on
 March 24, 1930, to Cletus and Lucy (Coddington) Veatch in Hays, KS. She
 married George D. Whisman on May 27, 1948. They were blessed with three
 children: Carol, Nancy, and Daren.

Berdena attended 
the North Amboy School southwest of Palco and graduated from Palco High 
School in 1947. After her marriage to George, they moved to Trego Center
 until 1954 when they settled on what is now the family farm north of 
Palco. Along with raising three children, she also earned her teaching 
degree from Fort Hays State University. After milking the cows every 
morning, she would carpool to Hays for classes every day. She began her 
teaching career at the stone schoolhouse southeast of Palco, later 
settling in the 5th grade at Palco Elementary School. She taught for 30 
years and continued substitute teaching until the early 2000s.

Aside
 from teaching, Berdena had a passion for painting and quilting. She 
entered many art and quilt shows around the country earning awards for 
many of her pieces. She was a member of the Palco Art Club, EHU, and 
many other clubs. Her latest accomplishment was entering the ROAR art 
exhibit in Russell and earning honorable mention on two pieces.

Berdena
 also had an athletic streak. She was known for her mean pitching arm, 
even breaking the garage siding while playing with the family. You could
 also find her holding a grandchild or great-grandchild and reading a 
book. As time went on, she supported their music endeavors putting on 
many miles hauling kids and instruments for lessons or to Carol and 
Nancy’s band classes, regardless of the location!

Berdena
 is survived by her daughter, Nancy Beyea; daughter-in-law, Leola 
Whisman; five grandchildren: Blake Beyea (Emily), Greggory Whisman and 
family, Geoffrey Whisman (Cammie) and family, Galen Whisman, and Nadia
