&nbsp;We just lost our adopted grandpa you could say.. we met him over 10 years ago when he was our neighbor and have taken care of him ever since.. he had absolutely no blood related family so we took him on trips, and to doctor appts, helped him shop, etc. We never were paid for helping him or being his caregivers and we did not want to be.. we are his only family for the last 10+ years. We celebrated all holidays and birthdays with him as well. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer about 2 months ago and suddenly passed away on Saturday morning in the hospital.

He had a small burial plan that he left to carry out his wishes of a beautiful service, burial, etc.. However upon planning his funeral yesterday, we discovered that it cost a lot. We are short a few hundred dollars for the actual funeral, and headstone, burial plot, etc.. We also have to clean out everything in his rental, which we are donating to the Arc of the Central Plains. We are suggesting his memorials go there as well as he loved to shop there. We will have expenses for cleaning the rental and disposing of lots of items as well.

People may have known him as the little man on the bike ... (he rode his three wheeled trike over town) but we knew him as Papa Dan!&nbsp;

Donations can be made payable to Cline’s-Keithley Mortuary of Hays, 1919 East 22nd Street, Hays, Kansas 67601, attention to Danial Verschage.&nbsp;

Gail Diane Brooks was born September 27, 1945, in Norton, KS to Albert 
and Opal (Carpenter) Georgeson. She passed away September 28, 2021, at 
the Andbe Home in Norton, KS. 
 Gail grew up in Lenora and as a young girl with three brothers, she 
was a bit of a tomboy spending much of her time outdoors with her horse.
 She was a 1963 graduate of Lenora High School, her classmates recalling
 her athleticism and speed as well as her command on horseback atop her 
horse, Queen. Immediately following her completion of high school, she 
was employed by the Rural Telephone company and worked there until 
around 1966. Gail married Bill Brooks on April 18, 1965 in Lenora and 
they lived in Johnson, Kansas, for about six years before moving to 
Clayton in 1972.

After her return to the area, Gail worked for The Bank 
at the Jennings branch for almost 15 years. She was also very active in 
the Clayton United Methodist Church, serving as a Sunday School Teacher,
 Treasurer, and a member of the choir. She was a gifted musician both 
harmonizing with her voice and on the guitar which she, along with four 
ladies from Clayton, taught themselves to play. Gail was also an active 
supporter of the community both as an Eastern Star member and most 
notably as a community leader of the Prairie Dog 4-H Club. In addition 
to being a farmer’s wife and mother of three, Gail remained athletic 
through the years by coaching softball, playing in a women’s softball 
league, and participating in a weekly women’s bowling league in Norton. 

In later years, she was blessed with grandkids who became her favorite 
pastime. She engaged with their activity of choice be it cooking, 
gardening, or feeding and playing with the animals. She will be lovingly
 remembered by all for her infectious smile, easy laugh, willingness to 
help, and overall effervescent personality.
 Gail was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Bill (Irene) 
Georgeson and Jack Georgeson and sister-in-law, Deanna Georgeson. She is
 survived by her husband, Bill of Norton; son, Steve (Kelly) Brooks of 
Norton; daughter, Sammye (Todd) Strickler of Colony, KS; son, Bart 
(Cheri) Brooks of Clayton; mother-in-law, Merrice Brooks of Norton; 
brother, Max Georgeson of Norton; sister-in-law, Barbara (Don) Kelly of 
Lawrence, KS; grandchildren: Erin, Ashlyn, Elijah, Bristol, Brytton 
(Jordan), Colton, Camryn, Justin, Addison, Hallie, and Braylyn and great
 grandchild, Brooks Morton.

Clayton Cemetery. Visitation will be from 5-7:00 pm Friday, October 1,

Gail Diane Brooks

Marilyn Cooper, longtime resident of Goodland, passed away on September 13, 2021, two months prior to her 91st birthday.

Marilyn Zace Brown was born on November 19, 1930, in Harrisburg PA to 
Vollie and Eleanore Brown, originally from Albuquerque, NM. During the 
Great Depression, when Marilyn was two years old, they moved back to 
Albuquerque where Vollie worked for his father building houses and later
 selling life insurance to workmen building Elvado Dam, therefore 
changing Vollie’s profession from electrical engineer to insurance. 
Marilyn was fortunate to be able to talk at length with her grandparents
 to learn our paternal family history through photographs, a family 
Bible and stories told to her by both grandparents.

At the age of 13, Marilyn received a present – a baby sister! Also at
 age 13 Marilyn was an accomplished vocalist and artist bound for a 
future of voice and art studies. But, one dream turned into another when
 she married her Fort Collins high school sweetheart, Ronald Blair 
Brouillette in 1948. When Vollie bought an insurance agency in Goodland 
in 1948, both families moved from Colorado to Kansas. Marilyn and Ron 
had four children— Garey, Brian (Charlie), Lynn and Paula – all of whom 
were born in Goodland. After relocating for some years to Colorado 
Springs and Thornton, CO, Ron received and accepted a job offer from 
Caldwell’s and the Brouillettes moved back to Goodland.

In 1969, Marilyn remarried to Raymond Cooper. In the mid-60s, prior 
to her marriage to Ray, Marilyn and her sister, Ginger, lived together 
and worked in Los Angeles. After their marriage, Marilyn and Ray resided
 in California until they moved back to Sherman County where Ray 
returned to farming. The couple lived in the country until health issues
 brought them to town.

Marilyn found her niche working for the Goodland Chamber of Commerce 
where she enjoyed meeting and working with people and businesses in 
Goodland and surrounding areas. Unfortunately Ray developed several 
serious health issues which required several major surgeries, the last 
of which took his life. After Ray’s death and after she retired from the
 Chamber office, she put her artistic creativity to work via her Wind 
Woman Originals home- based business creating Native American-inspired 
works of art. She was also a master historian of the Kidder Massacre and
 conducted tours of the massacre site. In the late 1990s she decided to 
travel to her points of interest including South Dakota and Mount 
Rushmore, then on to Wyoming to the Custer’s Last Stand battleground. 
After that she visited all of the forts in Kansas. Along the way she 
gathered places of business that displayed and sold her Wind Woman 
Originals art.

She spent hours in person and in long distance phone calls recounting
 to her sister the stories of their parents and grandparents of which 
her sister had no knowledge and was, therefore, blessed with the 
wonderful opportunity to learn.

Marilyn was preceded in death by her husband, Raymond Cooper, and 
three of her children: Charlie, Lynn, and Paula, and a granddaughter 
Sara Brouillette. She is survived by her son Garey (Reta) Brouillette of
 Goodland, her sister Ginger (Michael) Greenspun of Sherman Oaks CA, 
grandchildren Shad Brouillette of Kansas City, Carey (Scott) Hipp of 
Ellsworth KS, Aubre’ (Ted) Tompkins of Denver CO, Justin (Megan) Dryden 
of Omaha, NE, and Christopher (Pamela) Carleton of Port Roberts, WA; and
 eight great grandchildren: Elizabeth, Benjamin and Andrew Hipp, Devon 
and Arwen Tompkins, Ethan Dowd, Blake Edwards and Connor Dryden.

Big sisters are the best. They are always on your side regardless of 
what you’ve done. She is worth all my tears. Fly high with angels of 
kindred souls, Pete.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. Koons-Russell Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Donations to Topside Manor may be left at the services or mailed to Koons-Russell Funeral Home, 211 N. Main Ave., Goodland KS 67735.
