&nbsp;On February 16, 1984, she was united in marriage to Dennis E. Park in 
Liberal, Kansas, and they celebrated 36 years of marriage.&nbsp; Paula was a 
graduate of Ulysses High School, a long-time resident of Liberal with 
the love of her life, husband Dennis, an office manager in the dental

Willow Tree Golf Course.&nbsp; She loved to spend time with family, with 
people in general, and never knew a stranger.&nbsp; Paula loved being a 
Bulldog, shopping, baking, sewing, crocheting, playing board games, 
golf, and most of all traveling.&nbsp; Her favorite place was the beach or 
cruising on the ocean.&nbsp; She spent a lifetime working in the dental and 
medical field for Dr. Yount, Dr. Farmer, and the latest being Dr. 
Kaminski, where she was the office manager for the last twenty years.

Paula’s three grandchildren, Kyler, 
Kahne, and Kendyl were the light of her life.&nbsp; She loved the kids’ 
sporting events, school events, and loved watching them race.&nbsp; Paula was
 the most kind, giving, unselfish, hardworking, and humble person.&nbsp; She 
could light up a room with her smile and infectious laugh.&nbsp; She battled 
so many health problems throughout her life, but you would never know 
it, because she was always smiling and happy.&nbsp; Paula would always put 
others first and never wanted praise or recognition for the things she 
did.

 safe and to remember fun and happy memories about her and her beautiful
 life that she was blessed with.&nbsp; Her message to all is “Don’t Worry Be 
Happy."&nbsp; This was the song she wanted everyone to remember her by.&nbsp; 


Instead of flowers and plants, a memorial contribution in her name has 
been set up at Quinter schools for athletic programs, clubs, and 
classes.&nbsp; This is something that she found important and knew that it 
could help kids in the Quinter community that she called her “Happy 
Place."&nbsp; Memorials can be made to the Paula Park Memorial Fund, Quinter 
Schools, P.O. Box 540, Quinter, KS&nbsp; 67752.&nbsp;

Quentin Ingram at the service station&nbsp;where he washed windshields and 
parked cars. Later Uncle Quentin purchased a motor scooter for Gordon to
 ride around town.

They filled the basket on the scooter with dry ice and Gordon would 
sell ice cream, fudge bars, soda and other items&nbsp;to the city employees 
working outside as well as he would park across the street from the 
Dairy Queen.

Gordon was a hard working man all of his life. He had several jobs 
including managing the Norton Country General Store for&nbsp;&nbsp;several years 
before finding a job with Kansas State Parks.&nbsp; He worked at the Prairie 
Dog State Park for several years. He enjoyed maintaining&nbsp;the park and 
mowing. Gordon spent a lot of time in the park even when he was not

brother Duane Ingram, daughter Deanna, and his son Craig and wife Genie

Carrol Verne McQueen passed away on Wednesday, December 9, 2020, at the 
Rooks County Health Center in Plainville, Kansas, at the age of 84. He 
was born on July 27, 1936, in Concordia, Kansas, to Verne and Daisy 
(Huffman) McQueen. Carrol was united in marriage to Deanna Anderson on 
September 7, 1956, in Phillipsburg, Kansas. To this union, three children 
were born: Edward, Cassie, and David.
 Carrol spent his whole life as a Rooks County resident. He attended 
country school at Bow Creek up until high school and then decided to go 
back to work for the family farm. He and Deanna made a home on the farm,
 added a dairy, and raised their children. He was extremely fond of 
staying at or around home. If he did leave, it was for hunting coyotes, 
coon, or playing some games of bowling. Throughout his life he wore many
 hats. Some say he was a “jack of all trades and a master of none”. He 
farmed the land, was a dairy farmer, broke, raced, and shod horses, and 
later worked for the County maintaining roads. He loved the outdoors 
and spent a lot of time hunting with his buddies and the grey hounds he 
raised. Carrol, who was often referred to as “MacGyver” could fix just 
about anything. If he couldn’t piece it back together, it probably just 
couldn’t be fixed. He was a devoted husband, a good father, and a hard 
worker. As we reflect on Carrol’s life, may we remember to enjoy the 
simplest of things in life such as just being home, embracing the people
 and moments that surround us, and live everyday with a grateful heart. 
 He is survived by his wife Deanna McQueen of the home; his children,
 Edward (Ed) McQueen of Louisville, KY, Cassie McQueen of Stockton, KS, 
and David (Caroline) McQueen of Plainville; seven grandchildren, Dustin 
Kraft, Cory McQueen, Katie McQueen, Nolan McQueen, Mallory McQueen, 
JoLee Hill, and Gabby McQueen; and five great-grandchildren, Kyran 
Irving, Jahzara Stinemetz, Sawyer Kraft, Tinley Irving, and Fletcher 
McQueen.
 Carrol is preceded in death by his parents, Verne and Daisy McQueen;
 and siblings, Jackie (Paul) Engler, Jerol Kerns, Lola (Tom) McLaughlin,
 Iris (Dwight) Wing, and an infant brother.
 A Graveside Service will be held on Monday, December 14, 2020 at 
2:30 PM at the Pleasant Ridge Cemetery. Visitation will be held at the 
funeral home in Stockton from 6 PM until 8 PM on Sunday.
 Memorials are suggested to Post Rock Family Medicine and may be sent
 in care of Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home, 723 North First, Stockton, KS
 67669.

Robert L. 'Bob' Braun

Pauline Marie (Moellering) Zimmerman, 69, of Oakley, KS, entered eternal
 rest on December 9, 2020, at the Logan County Hospital, after a 
hard-fought battle with cancer. She was born on May 12, 1951, to 
Reynold and Hilda (Schwarz) Moellering of Angelus, KS. Pauline grew up 
on a dairy farm and learned her strong work ethic by helping her parents
 with milking cows, preparing meals, and helping around the house. Her 
parents instilled a love of horses in Pauline and her sisters, and they 
enjoyed taking a horse out for a ride when they had free time. The girls
 cherished the family time spent with their horses. 
Pauline met Larry Zimmerman at a dance in Angelus, KS, during her senior
 year of high school. They started dating, and before long, Larry 
proposed. Larry and Pauline were married on September 6, 1969, at St. 
Paul Catholic Church in Angelus. They had four children, Michael, 
Sandra, Becky, and Kevin, and raised them on their farm south of Oakley.
 Pauline spent her days working alongside Larry on the farm, and anyone
 who knew Pauline would comment she was a “tough lady” who had a heart 
of gold. Pauline ran combine during harvest, drove tractor, perfected 
the art of loading and moving round bales, and was on the loader to feed
 cows. She also selflessly made sure her children had everything they 
needed-a kiss due to a skinned knee, endless laundry, making sure their 
sports uniforms were clean on game days, and a role model for how to be 
kind and treat others with respect. 
In her spare time, Pauline enjoyed sewing and crafting. She made many 
clothes and Halloween costumes for her kids. She even made a prom dress 
and beautiful bridesmaid dresses. Pinterest became a favorite of 
Pauline’s, and many of those ideas came to fruition. Painted bottle 
caps turned into ladybugs for her flower beds, decorated horseshoes for 
wall art, dollar bills taped together, rolled, and placed in a tissue 
box for birthday fun were a few of her creative ideas. 
Her grandchildren were Pauline’s greatest joy. These eight individuals 
hit the jackpot being able to call her grandma! She will be remembered 
for fudgsicles in the freezer, four-wheeler rides, gathering eggs from 
the chicken house, and most importantly, her loving hugs. 
She was an active member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, D of I, Altar 
Society, and she served on Parish Council. Pauline made many cakes for 
the annual St. Joseph Carnival and always volunteered her help to make 
sure there were enough people to make the day a success. 
Pauline was preceded in death by her youngest child, Kevin, and her parents. 
Survivors include her husband, Larry; son Michael and Aimee Zimmerman, 
of Oakley, KS; daughters, Sandra and Blake Werth, of Hays, KS, and Becky
 and Eric Chadwick, of Pasadena, CA; grandchildren, Cole (Michelle), 
Jenna (Brandon), Kade, and Cody Zimmerman, Jacob (Kathleen) and Ethan 
Werth, and Ian and Taryn Chadwick; and sisters, Ann and Clem Delzeit, of
 Scranton, KS, Betty and Louis Grunewald, of Casper, WY, Marita and Gary
 Schieck, of Colby, KS, Joyce and Kim Tice, of Hoxie, KS, and Lucy and 
Steve Zerr, of Levant, KS. 
Visitation is Sunday, December 13, 2020, 5:00-7:00 pm, with vigil at 
7:00 pm, at St. Joseph Catholic Church. Funeral Mass is Monday, 
December 14, 2020, 10:00 am, at St. Joseph Catholic Church with burial 
to follow at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery. Memorials are suggested to 
St. Joseph School in care of Baalmann Mortuary, PO Box, 204, Oakley, KS,
