Leona Bell, 94, passed away Thursday, May 12, 2022, at the Hays 
Medical Center, Hays, Kansas. She was born December 24, 1927, in rural 
Graham County to Wallace Frederick and Lena Alice (Kaufman) Kerbaugh. 
She attended the Miller District 52 Country School until the summer of 
1936. Then the family moved to Loveland, Colorado, hoping that her 
father could find work. The summer of 1937 their family returned to 
Graham County where Leona again attended the Miller School. In 1939 they
 moved to Hill City and in 1942 they returned to Morland where Leona 
finished school. She graduated from Morland High School in 1946.
 On October 10, 1948, Leona was united in marriage to Lawrence Bell. 
Following her high school graduation Leona had worked in a post office, 
as a waitress, cook and grocery store clerk, before she became a 
full-time partner and farm wife. Three children were born to this union:
 Larry Wayne, Carol Jane and Janet Kay. They raised their family on a 
farm north of Morland. 
 Leona drove the tractor, hauled grain to the elevator, tended to the
 cattle, was the chief cook and parts runner, and did everything else 
that was needed. And she still found time to raise a huge garden! She 
always said if you had meat and potatoes, you didn’t need much else to 
feed a family. 
 Loving to cook, she hosted many family holiday dinners. You never 
left her house hungry. She was her children and grandchildren’s biggest
 fan, no matter what sport they were participating in. She was an avid 
Chiefs, Royals and KU Jayhawks fan. Leona watched her beloved Jayhawks 
win the national championship game and then quit watching TV because all
 they ever did was advertise. 
 After Lawrence passed away January 2, 1989, Leona continued to run 
the farm. She had no desire to leave that farm to seek a city job. She
 stated many times, there was no better place to die than in her garden 
under her tomato plants. She almost got her wish, as she was still 
living alone on the farm until she went into the hospital on Mother’s 
Day, May 8, 2022.
 She was preceded in death by her husband, Lawrence, her parents, her
 two brothers, Wayne and Rex Kerbaugh, and two sisters, Bernita Bell and
 Jean Nickelson. 
 Surviving is her son, Larry Wayne Bell, Morland; daughters Carol 
Jane Bedore, Hill City and Janet Kay and Ace Billips, Hill City; a 
sister-in-law, Delores Kerbaugh, Hill City; nine grandchildren: Lynette 
and Mike King, Lance Bedore (Julie Brown), Layne and Katie Bedore, Bruce
 and Roseanne Billips, Brett and Michelle Billips, Roger Billips 
(Chelsie Wolf), Dr. Jordan Bell, Kayla and Tyler Waggoner, and Chase 
Bell; 21 great grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren. 
 Although we are sad she left us, she had told us several times, and 
again on Mother’s Day, “I am tired and just want to go to sleep and not 
wake up. After all, I am almost one hundred years old, and no one lives
 forever.” But she will forever live in our hearts.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Larry Leroy Gibson, 69, died May 4, 2022, at his home in Broken Arrow, 
OK. He was born September 24, 1952, in Oakley, KS, to Duane and Betty 
(Walz) Gibson, of Monument, KS. Larry was the third of five children. He
 attended Monument Consolidated School until he graduated from the 8th 
grade. Betty passed away in 1965 and Duane in 1968. Larry and his 
brother Ferman were lucky enough to have the Wilson Fink family take 
them in. Lee Fink and Larry were just like brothers. Later, they moved 
to the DeWitt Beougher farm. In 1966, Monument school unified with the 
Oakley schools creating USD #274 and Larry graduated in 1970, from 
Oakley High School. During high school he worked for area farmers and 
worked with his dad farming. From a young age he loved fast cars and 
motorcycles. At the age of 12, he would ride his motorcycle to Winona, 
from Monument, on the dirt roads, but he had to wait until his dad went 
to the field, because he sure did not have permission. When he wasn’t 
riding his bike or motorcycle, he was eating his mom’s chocolate chip 
cookies out of the deep freeze with the Schoenfeld and Moore boys. After
 graduation, Larry went to work for Eberle Construction and then he 
applied at the feedlot. He talked to Dick Kvasnicka about the job and 
Dick said, “I don’t think I know you.” Larry replied, “Yes you do, you 
wrote my dad and I enough tickets to fill a glovebox.” And he got the 
job. 
Larry and LaRae Engel got married in April of 1976 and had one sone, 
Clinton. After a few years, Larry started working in the Oil Fields. 
Larry loved to see the country. He spent many happy hours fishing in the
 Durango area and other places with Clint, when he was small. Larry, 
LaRae and Clint traveled all over the western United States and he loved
 the many rides to Sturgis, SD and other places with his friends. Larry 
and his sister Janet were able to take several trips together around the
 US. When you went with Larry, you had to be fast, because you saw the 
country at 80 mph. Although he and LaRae didn’t stay married, Larry 
remained an integral part of her and Clint’s lives. Larry was a 
cherished member of LaRae’s own family and was always welcome around the
 Engel’s table. His passing leaves an empty spot in their hearts. Larry 
always said that LaRae was his best friend. 
No one loved a joke or a good prank more than Larry. Many people over 
the years were the target of his good humor. Larry’s laughter was 
contagious and the faces of his friends and family would light up when 
he came into a room. Pitch games won’t be the same without him. 
In 1993, Larry moved to the Tulsa, OK area. There he started Gibson 
Trucking, bought a couple of dump trucks, and went to work. He had just 
retired in the last few years. Even as he grew older, his passion for 
fast cars and motorcycles was still there. He shared that love with his 
grandson, Logan. He was everyone’s favorite uncle, and he loved his 
nieces and nephews. Larry loved coyote hunting with his nephew Tate and 
his boys anytime he was in Oakley. He was a great mentor/uncle to a lot 
of kids in Oklahoma also. He was always someone you could count on. He 
would be there when you needed him. 
Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Betty (1965) and Duane 
(1968); brother Ernest Lee (1951); sister Amy Lorraine (1957); 
brother-in-law Butch Collins (2014) and many aunts, uncles and cousins. 
He is survived by his best friend, LaRae (Marvin) Flanary; son, Clint 
(Amy) Gibson; grandchildren, Logan (Rachel West) Gibson and Randi 
Gibson; brother Ferman and his daughter Amanda; sister Janet Collins and
 her children, Jodi (Curtis Hansen), Jacque (Brad) Willems, Traci (Ron) 
Hazelton and Tate Collins; many great nieces and nephews and too many 
friends to list. 
Larry was a friend to all and will be missed by many. 
A memorial service will take place at Saturday, May 21, 2022, at 10:00 
a.m. at the United Christian Church, 219 Center Ave, Oakley, KS with 
burial at the Monument Cemetery.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Larry and LaRae Engel got married in April of 1976 and had one sone, 
Clinton. After a few years, Larry started working in the Oil Fields. 
Larry loved to see the country. He spent many happy hours fishing in the
 Durango area and other places with Clint, when he was small. Larry, 
LaRae and Clint traveled all over the western United States and he loved
 the many rides to Sturgis, SD and other places with his friends. Larry 
and his sister Janet were able to take several trips together around the
 US. When you went with Larry, you had to be fast, because you saw the 
country at 80 mph. Although he and LaRae didn’t stay married, Larry 
remained an integral part of her and Clint’s lives. Larry was a 
cherished member of LaRae’s own family and was always welcome around the
 Engel’s table. His passing leaves an empty spot in their hearts. Larry 
always said that LaRae was his best friend. 
No one loved a joke or a good prank more than Larry. Many people over 
the years were the target of his good humor. Larry’s laughter was 
contagious and the faces of his friends and family would light up when 
he came into a room. Pitch games won’t be the same without him. 
In 1993, Larry moved to the Tulsa, OK area. There he started Gibson 
Trucking, bought a couple of dump trucks, and went to work. He had just 
retired in the last few years. Even as he grew older, his passion for 
fast cars and motorcycles was still there. He shared that love with his 
grandson, Logan. He was everyone’s favorite uncle, and he loved his 
nieces and nephews. Larry loved coyote hunting with his nephew Tate and 
his boys anytime he was in Oakley. He was a great mentor/uncle to a lot 
of kids in Oklahoma also. He was always someone you could count on. He 
would be there when you needed him. 
Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Betty (1965) and Duane 
(1968); brother Ernest Lee (1951); sister Amy Lorraine (1957); 
brother-in-law Butch Collins (2014) and many aunts, uncles and cousins. 
He is survived by his best friend, LaRae (Marvin) Flanary; son, Clint 
(Amy) Gibson; grandchildren, Logan (Rachel West) Gibson and Randi 
Gibson; brother Ferman and his daughter Amanda; sister Janet Collins and
 her children, Jodi (Curtis Hansen), Jacque (Brad) Willems, Traci (Ron) 
Hazelton and Tate Collins; many great nieces and nephews and too many 
friends to list. 
Larry was a friend to all and will be missed by many. 
A memorial service will take place at Saturday, May 21, 2022, at 10:00 
a.m. at the United Christian Church, 219 Center Ave, Oakley, KS with 
burial at the Monument Cemetery.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
