Linda LoRee Hiser, 77, passed from this life on November 3, 2020, at 
Morton County Hospital in Elkhart, KS. Linda was born December 15, 1942,
 in Liberal, KS, the only child of Lloyd Homer and Ada Viola Fowler 
Hiser. Linda was the granddaughter of two early pioneer families in the 
area, Charley A. and Tamer Ella Fowler and George and Luella Hiser. 
	Linda’s childhood was spent on a farm about halfway between Guymon, OK 
and Elkhart, KS. She had many pet dogs, her special horse, Jip, and 
chickens. One year Linda was able to participate in part of the annual 
Point of Rocks Trail Riders journey to Guymon. She was a farm girl and 
loved living in the country with the wide open spaces and beautiful 
sunrises and sunsets. She also loved to go fishing with the family on 
the weekends, usually at Lake Carl Etling or Clayton Lake. In her adult 
years, Linda had many faithful animal companions also. Her special dogs,
 Chai and Sunday Mae, were an important part of Linda’s life. Linda 
took over the management of the family farm after her father’s death and
 was still involved with running the family business at the time of her 
passing. 
	Education began for Linda in the Guymon Public schools where she spent 
12 years. After graduation from Guymon High School in 1960, Linda 
continued her education at Panhandle A &amp; M College in Goodwell, 
graduating in 1964 with a degree in Business Administration. Linda 
became a high school teacher and taught English and Business classes for
 6 years in the schools at Weskan, Norcatur and Jennings, KS. Linda 
furthered her education at Fort Hays University earning a Master’s 
degree in Business Education in 1970. 
	Family history was of special interest for Linda and her Mother and 
they spent several years traveling to various states and going to the 
courthouses to find the actual records and original documents that 
related to their family genealogy. Linda had an amazing knowledge of the
 family history going back several generations and frequently informed 
other family members of the family stories and people that were in the 
family ancestry. 
	Seeing new places and traveling to far off lands was in Linda’s blood. 
Her ancestors had moved frequently to various locations and Linda felt 
her desire to travel came about naturally. While Linda’s Mother was 
still living, they traveled to Hawaii, Niagara Falls, the Pacific 
Northwest, and several countries in Europe. This was in addition to all 
the exploring around the United States that they had done in their 
genealogical travel searches. 
	After Linda lost her father, Linda continued to take many exciting 
trips and learned much about the cultures and customs of many different 
countries. Linda was able to explore and enjoy many trips with Dr. 
Perido and his wife and friends. Their travels took them to Antarctica, 
South America, Canada, Egypt, Australia, Europe and other countries. 
	Many adventures and travels also were made with Linda’s cousins, 
Donnita and Gary Wilson and LaVern Daniluk. The group traveled to Europe
 and took a couple of river cruises through Hungary, Germany, Austria, 
Czech Republic, Slovakia and Luxembourg. Linda was also able to tour 
France including Normandy where she was thanked as an American for 
defending France during WWII by the grateful French citizens. Linda 
really enjoyed visiting Paris and Prague. Other adventures took Linda 
to Alaska. Through Linda’s years of travel she was able to experience 
and travel to each continent except the Arctic. 
	The Elkhart community and Texas County, OK were home for Linda. After 
moving back to the Oklahoma Panhandle in the 1970’s, Linda became a 
member of the Friendly Neighbors Home Extension Club. She later joined 
the Coterie Club and loved being a member and the fun of being one of 
the Red Hat Ladies. She was also involved with the Elkhart Chamber of 
Commerce. Linda loved baseball and was one of the Elkhart Dusters most 
ardent fans. 
	Linda was a faithful member of the First Christian Church in Elkhart. 
Declining health kept her from attending as much as she wanted in her 
last few years. 
	Linda is survived by first cousins Ella Durham, Donnita Wilson, LaVern 
Daniluk, Ruth Harrington, Pearl Turner, Linda Taylor, Marjorie Stritzke 
and Lois Luellen. She was preceded in death by her Father and Mother, 
many aunts and uncles – Lenora Ferguson, Bertha Fowler, Wardie Fowler, 
Austin Fowler, Mattie Fowler, Lillian Pugh, Harold Fowler, Maude Kyte 
and Everett Hiser. She was also preceded in death by many first cousins
 – Charlie Ferguson, Glen Ferguson, George Ferguson, Jr, Alice Cooper, 
Mary Hill, LeRoy Ferguson, Paul Fowler, Wayne Fowler, Oneta Underwood, 
Alice Willis, Kenneth Fowler, Lonnie Fowler, Leonard Fowler, Homer 
Fowler, David Pugh, Vernon Kyte, Marcella Vanergriffe, Margaret Crafts, 
and Ada Kyte. 
	Funeral service for Linda will be held at the First Christian Church in
 Elkhart, Kansas, with Pastor Jim Cunningham officiating on Monday, 
November 9, 2020, at 2:00 pm. Funeral service may also be viewed on 
Garnand Funeral Home Facebook Live. Interment will follow at the

Marcia Lynn Cochran, 77, of Norton, Kansas, passed away on Thursday, November 5, 2020, at the Andbe Home in Norton. 

Marcia was born in Norton, on May 6, 1943, to Lyle Walter and Helen Amelia (Belden) Cochran.  She grew up northeast of Norton on the family farm and attended Dry Creek Rural Grade School.  Marcia loved being on the farm, being outside and playing with the animals, especially her dogs and the pigs.  After her father passed away, they sold the family farm and moved to town in 1971.  After her mother passed away in 1993, she moved in with her sister, Geraldine.  Marcia idolized her sister and enjoyed the time living with her, having Cokes in the afternoons, watching television together, and most importantly, and helping care for Geraldine when she was sick.  Upon Geraldine's passing in 1994, Marcia found her new home at the Andbe Home.  Marcia truly loved it there and considered it "her" home and let it be known in the family.  The Andbe Home staff and residents were her extended special family.  

In her younger years, Marcia attended Grace and Glory Sunday School and the Trinity Episcopal Church.  With her mom, she attended many meetings and socials with the Happy Homemakers, EHU and the Sunshine Club.  

Marcia wasn't afraid to let her opinion be known in her own special way. She always had a grin and loved hugs. She loved her stuffed animals holding on to them when she watched television or when she went to bed.  Eagles and the American Flag were very important to Marcia and she loved that her family members were veterans so the 4th of July was her favorite holiday. She also loved praying hands.  Marcia's favorite singer was Elvis Presley and she loved listening to his music and from time to time could be heard singing along.  She spent many hours watching television and reading her TV Guide.  Marcia loved her family and friends and could always be counted on to make them smile. 

Survivors include:  her niece, Deborah (John) Lindenman, Morland; nephews, David Corns and Elvin Edgett, both of Norton; Michael Cochran and Carl Holmquist, both of Minnesota; great nieces, Stacie Minson, WaKeeney; Tamara (Roger) VanLoenen, Hill City; great nephews, Shawn (Melissa) Lindenman, Morland; Cory (Beth) Lindenman, Winfield; and Brent (Heather) Lindenman, Central City, Nebraska; five great-great-nephews and seven great-great-nieces; other relatives and many friends. 

She was preceded in death by her parents; sister, Geraldine Corns; brother, Lyle Walter Cochran; niece, Pamela (Corns) Edgett and her nephew, James Cochran.  

A Graveside service will be held at 11:00 am Saturday, November 7, 2020 at the Norton Cemetery. Memorials are suggested to the Andbe Home Resident Activities Fund in care of Enfield Funeral Home, Norton, Kansas.  Condolences may be left at www.enfieldfh.com

Deanna Lee (Beck) Becker passed away on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, at 
Hays Medical Center, at the age of 82. She was born on August 28, 1938,&nbsp; to Harold and Reva (Rigby) Beck in the Round Mound Township of Osborne 
County, Kansas. She was united in marriage to Lawrence Becker on October
 22, 1960, at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Plainville. The couple 
spent 60 years of marriage together and were blessed with three sons: 
Michael, Douglas, and Chad.
 Deanna grew up in the Osborne County area. She graduated from Natoma
 High School with the Class of 1956 and then attended Fort Hays State 
University for one year before starting a job at the State Capital in 
1957. She then moved to Plainville in 1958 and worked for Southwestern 
Bell Telephone Company for 15 years, followed by 20 years for Chase Well
 Service taking care of the books and radio communication. While working
 at home for Chase Well Service, she would also babysit for friends and 
family in Plainville. She stayed busy later in life when her children 
grew up and had children of their own. It was rare for her to miss any 
activities or events that her grandkids or great-grandkids were involved
 in. She was a sports fan and her top teams were K-State for football 
and KU Jayhawks for basketball. She also enjoyed watching her grandson 
Joseph play football at McPherson College. When she traveled to her 
grandkids’ games, she would visit different churches in the area – she 
has probably seen most of the churches in the state, a testament to her 
devoted faith and love for the Lord. Traveling in general was something 
she loved to do as she traveled to several different vacation spots and 
made sure to hit some casinos on the way. She stayed busy when she was 
at home with her garden, being apart of the Daughters of Isabella, 
attending church events or masses, and even helping prepare funeral 
meals for Sacred Heart members who passed on before her. 
 Deanna was a hardworking woman who showed her love by serving and 
caring for her family, friends, and church. With the same love and 
patience required to grow her gardens, she planted in each one of us the
 seeds of faith, hope, and love. Through her daily example, she showed 
us that the greatest of these is love. Although Deanna will be greatly 
missed, she will live forever in the hearts of those who knew her best, 
for she was greatly loved.
 She is survived by her husband, Lawrence Becker of the home; sons, 
Michael (Jody) Becker of Plainville, KS, Douglas (Tammi) Becker of 
Raytown, MO, and Chad (Lisa) Becker of Tecumseh, KS; siblings, Beverly 
Hachmeister of Natoma, KS, Anita (Gail) Griffin of Alton KS, and Harold 
Jr. “Bud” Beck of Russell, KS; eleven grandchildren, Ashley (Brian) Hay,
 Joseph (Jana) Becker, Alaina Becker, Andrew Becker, the twins: Henry 
and Cory Becker, Matthew Becker, Emma Becker, Jacob Becker, Jeremy 
Rowles and Adel (Christina) Bjiouat; and eleven great-grandchildren.
 She is preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Reva Beck.
 A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, November 7, 
2020, at 10:30AM at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church with burial to 
follow at the Natoma Cemetery. Visitation will be on Friday, 2:00PM to 
4:30PM, at the funeral home in Plainville and moved to the church 6:00PM
 to 8:00PM with a Vigil Service and Rosary at 7:00PM.
 Memorials are suggested to Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Sacred 
Heart Catholic Schools, D of I, or Rooks County Health Center and may be
 sent in care of Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home, 320 SW 2nd St, 
Plainville, KS 67663.

she loved to do as she traveled to several different vacation spots and 
made sure to hit some casinos on the way. She stayed busy when she was 
at home with her garden, being apart of the Daughters of Isabella, 
attending church events or masses, and even helping prepare funeral 
meals for Sacred Heart members who passed on before her. 
 Deanna was a hardworking woman who showed her love by serving and 
caring for her family, friends, and church. With the same love and 
patience required to grow her gardens, she planted in each one of us the
 seeds of faith, hope, and love. Through her daily example, she showed 
us that the greatest of these is love. Although Deanna will be greatly 
missed, she will live forever in the hearts of those who knew her best, 
for she was greatly loved.
 She is survived by her husband, Lawrence Becker of the home; sons, 
Michael (Jody) Becker of Plainville, KS, Douglas (Tammi) Becker of 
Raytown, MO, and Chad (Lisa) Becker of Tecumseh, KS; siblings, Beverly 
Hachmeister of Natoma, KS, Anita (Gail) Griffin of Alton KS, and Harold 
Jr. “Bud” Beck of Russell, KS; eleven grandchildren, Ashley (Brian) Hay,
 Joseph (Jana) Becker, Alaina Becker, Andrew Becker, the twins: Henry 
and Cory Becker, Matthew Becker, Emma Becker, Jacob Becker, Jeremy 
Rowles and Adel (Christina) Bjiouat; and eleven great-grandchildren.
 She is preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Reva Beck.
 A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, November 7, 
2020, at 10:30AM at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church with burial to 
follow at the Natoma Cemetery. Visitation will be on Friday, 2:00PM to
