Jerry Nickelson, 56, of Oakley, passed away peacefully in his sleep on 
the morning of December 6, 2020. 

He was born July 26, 1964, to Harry and
 Maxine (Hullet) Nickelson. He graduated from Oakley High School in 1982
 and from the University of Kansas in 1988, with a bachelor’s degree in 
pharmacy. Following graduation, Jerry moved to his beloved San Diego, 
California, where he lived and worked as a pharmacist for over 30 years.
 He enjoyed playing softball, traveling the world extensively and was 
fluent in Spanish, however his favorite hobby was cheering on the 
University of Kansas Jayhawks basketball team. Actually, all Jayhawk 
sports, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Oakley Plainsmen. He also enjoyed
 working out, staying fit and handsome, to which he succeeded 
fabulously. Jerry will also be remembered for being up to date on the 
latest and greatest Apple products and technology and was then kind 
enough to let you know how out of date you were. Though San Diego 
brought him a new family in lifelong friendships, Oakley was where part 
of his heart had always remained. It was here he chose to spend his 
final years, caring for his mother and enjoying the welcoming embrace of
 the Oakley Methodist Church and community. He enjoyed spending time at 
the church in various capacities, but he cherished his time with the 
bell choir most of all. 
He was preceded in death by his parents, and many, many friends. 
Jerry is survived by his sisters, Sheryl Denny and Judy Woofter; brother
 Terrell Nickelson; aunt Darlene Stramel; uncles Kelvin and Elvin 
Hullet; many, many cousins; and nine nieces. 
Visitation will be from 5-7:00 pm Friday, December 11, 2020 at the 
Oakley Methodist Church. Funeral services will be held at 2 pm Saturday,
 December 12, 2020 at the Oakley Methodist Church, with burial in Oakley
 City Cemetery. Following Jerry’s wishes, he was cremated and some of 
his remains will be returned to San Diego and inurned in the Columbarium
 in the Cathedral Church of St. Paul. We kindly request anyone attending
 services to please wear a face mask and consider social distancing 
while offering condolences.

The family suggests memorials in Jerry 
Nickelson’s name to the Oakley Ministerial Alliance for the food pantry 
at the Oakley United Methodist Church, 611 Maple Ave, Oakley, KS, 67748.

Carol Ann (Carrico) Moritz passed away peacefully at her home in Salina, Kansas on Thursday, December 3, 2020, surrounded by her family.


Carol was born December 22, 1936, in Beloit the daughter of Melvin and
 Cecilia (Knaup) Carrico, the seventh of eight children. Because she was
 born so close to Christmas, her family named her Carol. At age five, 
Carol suffered a childhood illness that resulted in a significant 
hearing loss in both ears, eventually resulting in near total deafness. 
She wore a hearing aid throughout her life and learned to read lips to 
communicate. Despite her hearing loss, Carol loved music and learned to 
play the piano as a child. In her later years, she took great joy in in 
playing for her family-especially Christmas carols. Carol graduated from
 St. John's High School in Beloit, and attended Marymount College in 
Salina. During that time, she met and later married Louis Moritz of 
Tipton. They married November 10, 1956 at St. John's Church in Beloit, 
and made their home in Tipton. Between 1957 and 1963, Louie and Carol 
had six children.


In 1967, Louis was diagnosed with Huntington's disease, a 
hereditary neurological disorder. When Louis was no longer able to work 
in 1973, Carol went to work as a secretary at Tipton High School. She 
made many lifelong friends during this time and enjoyed the energy of 
the academic environment, but she couldn't support her family. When 
Louis required hospitalization in 1975, Carol moved her family to 
Salina, where she found work as an editor at School Specialty Supply's 
headquarters. Her children will always remember her fierce determination
 to provide them with a loving and secure environment during this 
difficult time.


Although Carol endured many hardships in her life, including 
losing her husband, twin daughters and three grandchildren to 
Huntington's Disease, she didn't allow those difficulties to define the 
contours of her life. Her children, grandchildren and 
great-grandchildren will remember her strong will-a will offset by her 
wonderful sense of humor, quick laugh and warm hugs. But most of all, 
they will remember her deep and abiding love for her family. Her most 
treasured times were those she shared with family.


Carol was preceded in death by her husband Louis, her twin 
daughters, Jean West and Joan Beard, and three grandchildren, Michael 
West, Nichola Beard and Adam Beard. She was also preceded by three 
sisters-Albertine Konzem, Cecilia Ludwig and Virginia Lichtenberger-and 
two brothers, Joseph Carrico, and (infant) James Carrico. She is 
survived by her children Kathy Moritz, Salina; Nancy Moritz, Lawrence; 
Larry (Cecilia) Moritz, Salina; and John (Renee) Moritz, Hays; 
grandchildren, Ben Gasper, Jeff Gasper, Stefanie Adam, Chris West, 
Jennifer Boss, Kathleen Wade, Sarah Landis, Anna Davis, Samuel Moritz, 
Cara Moritz, Amber Rogers, Daniel Moritz and Steven Moritz; 17 
great-grandchildren and one on the way-Baby Wade in June, 2021. She is 
also survived by her dear sisters, Maxine Wicks, Bennet, Neb. and Janet 
(Dan) Sparks, Salina.


Ryan Mortuary is in charge of arrangements. The family will hold a
 private graveside service and will have a Memorial Mass celebrating 
Carol's life at a future date. Memorial contributions may be made to St.
 Mary's Catholic Church Renovation Fund, 230 East Cloud, Salina, or 
Kindred Hospice, 2100 South Ninth Street, Salina, or in care of the 
family at Ryan Mortuary, 137 North Eighth Street, Salina, 67401.


Carol left this handwritten message for her children, "A mother's
 prayer is that her children will love each other long after her she is 
gone." Rest in peace, Mom-your wish will be honored for generations to 
come.
