Emily Sophia Howie, 11 months, of Salina, passed 
away unexpectedly on Sunday, July 10, 2022, following medical treatment 
for respiratory issues for a recent cold.&nbsp; She was born July 30, 2021, to
 Justin and Ashley (Young) Howie. &nbsp;

Left to mourn her passing are her parents, siblings Madelyn and 
Connor; maternal grandparents, Fred and Rene Young; paternal 
grandparents, Gary and Katherina Howie; great-grandparents, Jim and

Phillip Howie (Becca), Dustin Young (Michelle), Sean Young (Chelsea), 
Christopher Young, and Shannon Young; cousins, Ava, Kelcy, Kolton, Kody,

Emily was the most precious, sweet, funny and lively little girl in 
the world and brought so much joy to our lives. We will miss her bright 
smile, her open mouth kisses, her constant happiness, laughs and 
giggles, her ornery games she liked to play and tease us with, her 
cuddles, late night feedings, waking up in the morning to her bright 
smile and every little thing about her. Emily loved playing with and 
trying to keep up with her brother and sister, splashing in the bathtub 
and pool, she loved her babies and playing peek-a-boo, this little piggy
 and patty-cake.&nbsp; She had the brightest personality, was so funny and 
had so much love for life and her family.&nbsp; Even though we will forever 
have a huge hole in our hearts, we are so thankful that we got to spend 
the 11 months with her that we did. Life will never be the same. We love
 you Emily and miss you so, so much.

Bertha Louise Carter, 88, passed away following health complications, 
June 19, 2022, at the Graham County Hospital. She was born July 29, 
1933, in Rural Nicodemus, Kansas, the daughter of Nathainel Moore, Sr. 
and Sarah (Griffie) Moore.
 January 21, 1956, Bertha married Robert Earl Carter of Emporia in 
Nicodemus. Three children were born to this union: Bondetta, Arnold, 
and Sylvester. Bertha was mostly a stay-at-home wife and mother. 
However, she helped around the farm when needed, doing anything from 
driving a tractor to completing an engine overhaul on a vehicle. Robert
 and Bertha were married for 38 years before he passed away at the VA 
Hospital in Wichita in August of 1994.
 Many times, in later years, one of Bertha’s grandchildren called her
 to ask for advice with what was going on with their automobile. She 
told them what the problem was and how to fix it. They were satisfied 
with the answer she gave because she was always right. Other activities 
Bertha enjoyed were fishing, hunting, and watching sports. She did well 
at almost everything she tried, even baking those lemon meringue pies 
that only Sylvester, liked. 
 Bertha was preceded in death by her parents; her sister Dorethy; 
three brothers: Nathainel, Jr., Wilfred, and Donald. Left to cherish 
her memory are her three children: Bondetta, Arnold and Sylvester and 
their spouses: Brian, Gloria and Lorette; grandchildren: Malinda, 
Natusha, Terry, Brice and Megan Carter, Brandon and Erin Carter, Ebonee 
and Cote Hower, Anthony Henderson, Tanisha Walker, Tasheena Carter, 
Trace, Keenan and Jayden Engel, and Dalton Yost; many great 
grandchildren; five great-great grandchildren; one sister, Florence 
Howard; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.&nbsp;
