Larry Dean Finley, beloved son of John (Jack) Finley and Doris Finley, 
passed away on Monday April 27th, 2020, at the age of 67, of natural 
causes. 

Larry was an artist, DJ, and brother to Steve, Kevin, Doug, and 
Brad. He had been accepted after high school into the Art Institute. He 
later married Paula McKinney and had a beautiful daughter, named Candice
 Mae Finley. Although the marriage didn’t move forward, Larry and Paula 
were in joyful contact in the last of their years. Atwood, KS was his 
favorite place in the world and in that lovely town there are 
uncountable unnamed people who cared for and nurtured him over the 
years. 

Larry could not have survived his ailments without the help of 
the innumerable friendships he relied on in Atwood. He was a loner who 
valued time on his own with his genius thoughts. “It’s easy to stand in a
 crowd, but it takes courage to stand alone.” Gandhi.


 He will be missed by his surviving daughters Candice Finley and Camelia
 Finley, mother Doris Finley, brother Brad Finley, many nephews, and 
sister in-laws. Larry Finley, brave in death, may you live free in the 
shining dawn forever.


One of his favorite songs, by the Beatles


Take these broken wings and learn to fly


You were only waiting for this moment to arise


You were only waiting for this moment to be free


Blackbird singing in the dead of night…

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly

Beatrice Angela Kanak died on Monday, April 27, 2020 at the Good Samaritan Center, Atwood, Kansas. She was 90 years old.


Beatrice was born on November 11, 1929 in Stratton, Nebraska to Joseph 
and Rosie (Kacirek) Janousek. She grew up on a farm in rural Atwood, 
Kansas. She was one of nine children.  She shared many memories of her 
childhood and her love for animals. After grade school she attended high
 school at Notre Dame High School in Omaha, Nebraska. She went on to 
continue her education at Hays, Kansas where she got her teaching degree
 and then taught country school at Achilles, Kansas. Beatrice was a 
member of Sacred Heart Church. 


She met the love of her life, Joe Kanak, at a dance at St. John’s Hall 
in rural Atwood. They soon fell in love and were married on June 4, 1951
 at St. John's Nepomucene Church, rural Atwood. To this union, six 
children were born, Joe III, Rose Anne, John, Vincent, Margaret and 
James.


She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Joe of 59 years, 
her grandson, Jason Kanak, son-in-law, Harlan Hagler, her siblings 
Victor (Margie) Vrbas, Bernard (Evelyn) Vrbas, Vacy (Martha) Vrbas, 
Blase (Alice) Vrbas, Adeline (Ray) Stehno, Sylvia (Joseph) Kletchka, 
Rose Marie (Rudy) Faimon and Jerome (Viola) Janousek. 


Bea was a very busy and energetic woman....a farm wife raising six 
children (each eleven months apart).  Once her children were in school 
for several years, she started working at the Rawlins County Hospital as
 a nurse aide for many years. As time went on she took a job at the 
Rawlins County Treasurer's office and still worked part time in the 
hospital. She was a very compassionate person and loved to help and care
 for others.  Even after her retirement, she took care of her older 
neighbors and friends for many years. She also took on many roles in the
 community -- she was very active in the church, the Catholic School, 
held many positions in Altar Society, was a Boy Scout and Girl Scout 
leader and answered any call to be a volunteer and serve wherever she 
could. 


She was a very talented seamstress and sewed a lot of her children's 
clothes. Among the many things she loved to do was sew, crochet and do 
crafts. Her and Joe spent a lot of time in their home shop using their 
shared talent in making woodworking crafts for craft fairs and 
fulfilling many friends requests for projects. They spent a lot of time 
at Christmas in their woodshop secretly making gifts for their kids and 
grandkids which are such treasured keepsakes. She had so much loved her 
children and each and every one of her grandchildren.


Bea and Joe loved to go to dances and were quite the Polka dancers 
scooting across the floor with ease. We can only imagine they are now 
smiling, laughing and having their heavenly dance! 


She was so loved and will be missed by those who survived her.... her 
six children, Joe III, Rose Anne (Mike) Schnee, John (De, Vincent, 
Margaret Hagler and James (Nancy, daughter-in-law, Lynette Kanak, Lisa 
Kanak McGrath, grandchildren, Linda (Ryan) Bolen, Cody (Erin) Schnee, 
Josh (Krissy) Cox, Morgan (Bryan) Schweizer, Jacob (Echo) Hagler, Jordan
 (Andrea) Hagler and Jamison Kanak (Gentry) and 19 great-grandchildren, 
one sister-in-law, Lucy (Kanak) O'Brien of Colorado Springs, Colorado.


Due to current events associated with the Covid-19 virus, there will be a
 private family funeral service only. Memorials may be made to the 
Sacred Heart Altar Society in care of Baalmann Mortuary, PO Box 391, 
Colby, KS 67701.
