Leinad Lorraine David, 90, died November 27, 2020, in Hill City, Kansas.
 She was born September 30, 1930, at the family farm to Landon Roosevelt
 and Jessie Mae (Haney) Hardman. Leinad grew up on the farm with her two
 siblings: Dwayne and Sharon. Her school days began at the North Star 
School in northwest Graham County. 

After graduating from Hill City High 
School, Leinad continued her education at Fort Hays College, earning a 
degree in Elementary Education. She taught in several rural schools, 
including South Star and Goshen. In later years, Leinad worked as a 
substitute teacher for the Lenora School District.
 On March 28, 1950, she and Eugene David were united in marriage 
in Hays, Kansas. Both being from farming families, the young couple 
began their married life establishing and working as their ancestors had
 done. To their union were born three children: Ronnie, Doug and Jeanie.
 Never one to sit still for very long, Leinad was an avid 
gardener, growing more vegetables than the family could eat, so 
neighbors could find Leinad canning in her kitchen on many long summer 
afternoons. Her green thumb expanded to yard landscaping especially when
 Gene and Leinad built a new country home. Her passion for growing 
plants always centered round her love of roses.
 Leinad and her neighbors became involved in EHU (Extension 
Homemakers Unit), meeting monthly for a lesson and lots of visiting, 
always at the South Star Schoolhouse. She was also a member of the North
 Star Community Club. As a 4-H Leader for many years she was very active
 at the County Fair, helping members in the food and nutrition 
categories or wherever else she was needed. During Jeanie’s college 
sports years, Leinad followed the teams faithfully and sponsored many 
out of town team bus trips from Colby. Leinad continued following the 
sports competitions of all three of her grandchildren, hardly ever 
missing a game.
 Leinad and Gene took many trips through the years with their 
favorite travelling buddies, Calvin and Iva Beckman, and an Alaskan 
cruise with grandchildren, Jordan and Kayla.
 Preceding her in death were her parents; sister Sharon Lovelady and brother Dwayne Hardman.
 Leaving to mourn her passing are her children: Ron David of 
Palmer, Alaska; Doug, wife Stephanie of Lenora; and Jeanie Bell of Hill 
City; grandchildren: India David of Palmer, Alaska, Jordan Bell of 
Seward, Nebraska, Kayla Waggoner and husband Tyler of Quinter, and Chase
 Bell of Hill City; step-grandson Cody Roberts, wife Claire of Hill 
City; step-grandchildren: Molly, Harper and Kaci Roberts; numerous 
nieces and nephews and many friends.
 A burial service was held Friday, December 4, 2020, at South 
Star Cemetery, Rural Penokee. Memorials to the Methodist Church may be 
sent to the David Family in care of Stinemetz Funeral Home, 522 N. 
Pomeroy Ave., Hill City, Kansas.

Kent Douglas Beisner, 70, passed away on Saturday, November 28, 2020, at Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Lawrence, Kansas.

Kent was born on October 22, 1950, in Oakley, Kansas, the son of Harold O. and Betty (Gatlin) Beisner. Kent studied pharmacy at the University of Arizona and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business from Baker University. He played golf and basketball in college. He was united in marriage to Diana (Olberding) Beisner on April 30, 1976, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Colby, Kansas, and had a beautiful marriage for 44 years. Together they have three children, Kyle, Keith, and Elizabeth.

He lived a full and vibrant life. He was truly a friend to everyone he met and a mentor to many people in all aspects of his life and professional career. His smile and humor were infectious (dad jokes included). Spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren brought him so much joy.

Kent had a wonderful career and was a beloved leader. He was in the beer and beverage distribution business for over 33 years. He was Vice-President and General Manager of V &amp; M Distributing, Inc., a family-owned Coors &amp; Miller Distributor in Colby, Kansas from 1976 to 1989. Kent was Vice-President and General Manager for Jayhawk Beverage, Inc. &amp; DeBauge Brothers, Inc. Coors, Boulevard and Miller Distributors, from 1989 to 2008. Kent joined the Kansas Chamber in 2008 and served in several positions including President &amp; CEO and Chief Operating Officer. He was also on the Leadership Kansas advisory board. In addition, he served on multiple boards and was a member of, or affiliated with, many organizations during his career.

After retiring in March 2018, he served as a managing partner for Professional Pile Solutions, LLC, a small business with his son, Keith, as well as an insurance agent. He continued to be involved with the Chamber, the Chamber PAC, Leadership Kansas and Rotary. Much of his time was also spent on the golf course – his passion and hobby that he was truly exceptional at.

Kent was preceded in death by his parents; siblings, Lisa Beisner and Kelly Beisner. Survivors include his wife, Diana of the home; children, Kyle (Jodie) of Beloit, Keith (Kim) of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Elizabeth (Nick) Jerkovich of Leawood; sister, Linda West (Paul) of Norfolk, Virginia; grandchildren, Bryce, Allison, and Ethan; and several cousins, nieces and nephews.

Brenda Moote (McLaughlin) was born on September 11th, 1963, in 
Plainville, Kansas, to Gerald and Gean McLaughlin. She passed away 
peacefully on December 12th, 2020, comfortably in her own home with her 
family surrounding her.
 Brenda lived a simple yet enjoyable life. She was born in 
Plainville, Kansas, and lived in Kansas for the first part of her life, 
enjoying time with friends, family, school, and work. She grew up in 
Stockton, Kansas, and graduated from Stockton High School in 1981. She 
loved playing pool and quarters with her friends and family in her free 
time. On October 17th, 1987, she married Kevin Moote at the United 
Methodist Church in Stockton, Kansas.
 Brenda and Kevin moved to Fort Collins, Colorado, in the early ’90s 
to start their family. Brenda started working at Mac’s Frame Shop as a 
picture framer around 1992. She continued the business by becoming the 
owner of Mac’s Frame Shop in 2000. She was always hard-working, put her 
customers first, and went above and beyond to meet her customers' goals.
 She could tell you what every moulding, frame, or glass type was just 
by looking at the front of it. Her customers would ask for her 
specifically because her skills and taste of designs were extravagant.
 In 1992 she had her son, Quentin Moote, then in 1996, she had her 
daughter, Chelsea Bush (Moote). Soon after her daughter was born, 
Brenda, Kevin, Quentin, and Chelsea moved permanently to Windsor, 
Colorado. Brenda helped with Girl Scouts and was always the favorite 
leader. She also enjoyed reading books and going to book clubs now and 
then. Brenda loved going camping when the time was allowed, along with 
day car ride trips to Estes or anywhere in the Mountains. She also used 
to take frequent trips to Stockton, Kansas, to see her family or visit 
them when they passed. When Brenda’s children grew up, she would love to
 spend quality time with them and her family in general. In 2019, Brenda
 became a grandmother to Adelynn Bush, which she loved dearly.
 Brenda was preceded in death by her parents, Gerald and Gean McLaughlin, and her sister, Linda Smith.
 She is survived by her husband, Kevin; son Quentin; daughter 
Chelsea; granddaughter Adelynn; and nephews Michael and Brian Smith.
 Brenda was an exceedingly kind, loving, and forgiving woman who 
would do anything for her family and friends. Her primary goal in life 
was to make everyone happy and laugh. She would always forgive someone 
fast because she said, “Life is too short.” She nevertheless left a 
great impression on everyone she met with her easy, funny, and friendly 
personality. Even when she was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer in early
 2020, she never let fears get to her. She continued to have a positive 
outlook on life through chemo, surgery, and after surgery when 
complications happened. Brenda continued to pray every day and always 
looked at what she has done instead of what she cannot anymore.
 Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, December 19, 2020, at 11 AM
 at Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home in Stockton. Online condolences can be
 left for the family at www.plumeroverlease.com.
 “We will always remember you, Mom; you were our best friend and more than anyone could ever ask for.”
