AVA JO (THOMPSON) KEENEY Ava Jo (Thompson) Keeney passed away at her home on September 21, 2015, following a 16 month battle with cancer.

Born January 17, 1959, in Buffalo, Oklahoma, the daughter of Vance and Betty Jo Thompson was the youngest of four children. Growing up with three older brothers, Ava loved the outdoors, and whether it was riding horses or her motorcycle, she always tried to keep up with the boys. At Buffalo High School, Ava was a star athlete in both basketball and track and field, and was selected to the 1977 Oklahoma High School Girls All-State Basketball Team.

On March 3, 1979, Ava married her husband, Jim Keeney, and the couple, along with their two children, Austin and Erin, eventually settled in Alva. In 1988, Ava decided to return to school and finish her degree at Northwestern Oklahoma State University. After being spotted in a pickup basketball game on campus, Ava was asked to join the Lady Rangers by Coach Milburn Barton. At the age of 29, with two kids, ages 8 and 6, Ava returned to the hardwood

where she played for two years before graduating from Northwestern in 1990. One of the family’s favorite memories was traveling to watch Ava play basketball, knowing she was often as much as ten years older than her teammates and competitors. After graduating from Northwestern, Ava took over the management of Jim’s chiropractic clinic, a position she would hold for the next 25 years.

A devoted wife and mother, Ava never missed either of her kids’ sporting events or school functions.

While Austin and Erin were growing up, they spent a lot of time practicing basketball in the gym, and even though her playing days were over, Ava often went along to show the two that Mom could still play. Even after Austin and Erin went off to college, she would often travel to their games to watch them play, whether it be in Illinois or Virginia, Ava was there.

Ava was a kind, gentle and funloving soul whose laughter could light up the room. In her later years, Ava loved to travel and often had many adventures with Jim and their close friends, Randy and Carla Mitchell. She loved animals, particularly dogs and horses, and often talked about volunteering at the local animal shelter upon retirement. In 2012, Ava was blessed with her only grandchild, Casen, whom she loved dearly and spoiled often. “Lolly,” as she was known, enjoyed playing with Casen as much as possible, whether it be time spent on the playground or going on rides around the ranch to visit the horses.

A devout Catholic, Ava grew up going to church in Buffalo with her father, Vance, and remained an active member of St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Woodward until she could no longer attend. In her last days, Ava often talked of ‘God’s plan,’ and always knew that better things lie ahead. Ava was preceded in death by her father, Vance Thompson, and brother, Douglas Thompson.

She was survived by her husband, Jim Keeney; her son and his family, Austin, Callie and Casen Keeney; her

Colin Jones opens physical therapy clinic

By Lynn L. Martin Working as a trainer for Alva High School sports teams while he was a student here inspired Colin Jones to pursue a career as a physical therapist.

Jones said, “The beautiful thing about opening a practice in northwest Oklahoma is the wide variety of patients who need assistance. My skill set is in orthopedic outpatient physical therapy, but that specialty doesn’t keep me from working with pediatric, geriatric and neurological patients.”

The orthopedic emphasis includes not only recovery from broken bones, but also handling post-operative pain, which is found in the shoulders, knees, back and knees: “Anything that includes the musculoskeletal system,” he said.

House Bill 1020 passed and went into effect this past November. This bill permits direct access by patients to physical therapists without having to get a referral from a medical doctor.

Jones said, “This means a patient with a general sprain or similar pain can come in and get it looked at. Of course, if it beyond the scope of what we are trained to handle, we’ll suggest a visit to an appropriate medical professional.”

Jones did his undergraduate studies at OU and received his bachelor’s degree in health and exercise science. From there, he went to the Health Science Center at OU and got his doctorate. In 2011, he spent the spring training season working with the Kansas City Royals.

Following that, he took a job with a private company in Moore, and started a three-year residency program. During that time, he branched off with that same company and opened a clinic in Midtown

Colin Jones, physical therapist, welcomes new clients at his clinic, Human Performance Centers, or HPC, in Alva. The entrance is on the back (south) side of the former Pinegar clinic at 919 Oklahoma Blvd. Photo by Lynn L. Martin Oklahoma City where he practiced by himself for three and a half years. Jones said he is completing the fellowship portion of the residency program at this time.

“Why did you choose to open a clinic in Alva?” we asked. He replied, “Roots.

When I was looking at places to go to college, I was all excited to go to the bustling city. As I’ve gotten older, I still have family in the area, and I like the patient population here. I like working with good hard-working people. I think that’s my work ethic also. So it is a combination of having family in the area, being from here and generally liking the quality of people I get to work with here.”

His firm, Human Performance Centers (HPC), accepts most major insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid,

Send cards to: Share Convalescent Home 800 Share Drive, Alva, Oklahoma 73717

and can arrange for private pay.

When asked who he expected his patients to be, Jones answered, “Again, the northwest Oklahoma demographic is likely to provide a patient base from (age) 4 to 94.”

Jones said the most satisfying portion of his job is working with people. “Also, in many cases I can help people with their problems without them having to go under the knife first,” he said.

The hours and days of operation are from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and on Friday from 7 a.m. until noon.

Jones’ parents are Pam and John Jones. Pam is a retired educator, and his dad, John, is director of Northwest Family Services, and will be retiring soon.

Jones is unmarried, but has a longtime girlfriend in Oklahoma City he is trying to convince to move to Alva.

In providing a tour of his large facility, he pointed out some specialized equipment that can help analyze people with balance issues.

Jones emphasized the clinic is privately owned, and is not associated with any physician or hospital. “I think that independence helps us work with a variety of health professionals because they are aware we are not affiliated with any other organization,” he said.

Alfalfa County commissioners reach a settlement with Reeder

By Leslie Nation CHEROKEE – After contract disagreements arose between the Alfalfa County and Reeder General Contractors, the two entities agreed on a settlement.

A written contract was made between the county and the contractor as of Sept. 17, and the Alfalfa County commissioners approved of the settlement at the commissioner meeting on Monday morning at the county courthouse.

A disagreement arose over the contract for a construction project known as “New Building for the Alfalfa County Fairground.” According to the settlement, Alfalfa County will pay the total sum of $27,101.11 to Reeder by or before Sept. 30. In return, Reeder will honor all unexpired warranties, including its warranty for labor and materials.

Reeders’ warranty will expire Jan. 30, 2016.

Tony Heller then gave the weekly maintenance report to the commissioners, bringing up an issue that arose over the weekend after running power through the breaker box. The commissioners may expect a bill from Luckinbill, Guernsey or K & K Electric to change the breaker from a single-phase to a three-phase to bring it up to code.

Also, Heller mentioned that the electricians have suggested putting in built-in thermostats for each of the window units to hide wiring from each unit. Finally, Heller said that he is waiting for a letter from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to move forward with the agreement from both DEQ and the city to allow the county courthouse to discharge their water into the city’s sewer.

Other items on the agenda that were approved by the commissioners were: • County clerk to go out on bid for indoor arena lights for Alfalfa County Fairgrounds, • Yellowhouse contract for bulldozer purchased off state contract for District 2, • Nine surplus property resolutions, • Nine resolutions for disposing of equipment, • Letter of resignation from District 1 Alfalfa County commissioner and chairman Doug Murrow.

City of Kiowa searches for administrator

By Yvonne Miller It was the first regular monthly meeting of the Kiowa City Council without former City Administrator Nathan Law when they gathered for their September meeting last week.

At the end of the meeting, the council held an executive session and met with Mike Cox, representative for the Kansas League of Municipalities. The council hired the the league to aid in their search for a new administrator to replace Law. Cox reportedly gave the council some applications for review as they begin their search. The council will go through applications and decide who they want to interview. This is an ongoing process.

Mayor Brandon Farney presided over the meeting with all council members present: Bill Watson, R.L. Simpson, Russel Molz, Tom Wells and Brian Hill.

City Clerk Marlo Rugg also sat at the table as did City Attorney Laurel McClellan.

The council designated a burn time for the community: Nov. 13 – Dec. 13.

City Council Sends CUP Project Back to Planning Commission The Kiowa Planning Commission met Aug. 19 to hear a conditional use permit (CUP) request from Donna Williams for Williams Manufacturing of Kiowa. The request was for a permit to place a metal storage building on their property at N. 5th St., which is deemed residential.

Commission members discussed the issue at length and then unanimously approved the CUP request with several stipulations. Setbacks were the main concern of the commission. Commission members are Kim Blevins, Ronald Allenbach, Tami Hill and Stan Michel.

When the council reviewed the CUP, Mayor Farney said the project had changed significantly regarding specifications and location since the commission meeting. The council agreed to send the request back to the planning commission for further review.

The city council approved the planning commission’s recommendation that Brett Courson be appointed by Mayor Farney to fill the vacancy on the commission.

Recycling Issue City Street Superintendent Gary Johnson learned that David Ring is no longer working for the Barber County Landfill. Ring hauled all of Kiowa’s recycling, except for the cardboard, to

Pratt.

Kiowa’s Barber County Commissioner Paul Harbaugh said, “The county isn’t interested in hauling anything for you at this time because we’re shorthanded. Until we get a new director we can’t help you at this time. Sorry.”

The council gave Johnson permission to find a 20-foot trailer so the city can haul recyclables themselves. He said they could also use a small forklift to move recyclables around the center as the existing one is basically inoperable. Rugg told the council that Nathan Law told her he had budgeted for a new forklift in the 2016 budget. Johnson is looking for a small forklift or skid steer also.

More City of Kiowa Business The city sought bids to replace the old brick building that is the old shop.

Johnson said he is nervous about having the city crew tear it down because it’s so close to the electrical sub-station.

The council tabled any further action on replacement pending further research.

Rugg said the city receives constant complaints about pigeons roosting in other downtown buildings and homes since the bowling alley was destroyed.

She’s learned from other city clerks that bird spikes placed on a roof help prevent pigeons from roosting. Another recommendation is contacting Kansas State University Wildlife Control.

Since Councilmember Molz said he had requests about Meals on Wheels, Rugg checked into details. Rugg said they would need at least 12 participants.

Rugg agreed to put some feelers out into

the community, such as on the Facebook Kiowa Connection, to determine interest.

During the annual sewer maintenance a large hole was found near Bogner’s car dealership parking lot. The council approved having Rugg get an estimate on repairing it.

The library roof is in need of repair and Johnson said he will fix it.

Regarding the city’s new alliance for an electricity provider, the council approved Ordinance No 423 and Resolution 269 as the city joins KMEA and the EMP3 electrical pool. Attorney McClellan told the council he read the agreement.

“You cannot back out of it easily,” he said. “I didn’t see any gotcha items, but it will take a little learning,” he told the council.

The council appointed Clerk Rugg as the primary delegate, Mayor Farney as the secondary delegate and Board President Watson as the alternate to serve on the EMP3 board.

The council decided not to give a donation to Sunflower RC&D; approved paying for Attorney McClellan to attend a legal section of the Kansas League of Municipalities meeting in October; and approved donating the use of the Kiowa Community Building for the parent/ teacher organization fundraiser Nov. 20.

Police Chief Steven Johnson said everything is running smoothly, except he reminds motorists to stop for a school bus and wait when their stop sign is out and not proceed until the sign is no longer displayed.

Watch how peace evolved in the days of cowboys and Indians on the Kansas prairie Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty Pageant this weekend, Sept. 25-27: Weekend of activities – Ranch Rodeo, parade, dances, carnival, pow wows, encampments

By Yvonne Miller Cowboys galloping on horses waving guns high in the air; Plains Indians, some with war paint, and chiefs with colorful elaborate feathered headdresses; covered wagons carrying settlers and coaches carrying royalty; roaming longhorns; flamboyantly dressed early day explorers and more historical characters are already roaming the Peace Treaty Pageant grounds in Medicine Lodge, Kansas, in preparation for the full weekend of activities this Friday through Sunday.

Check peacetreaty.org and an ad in the Newsgram for the detailed list of activities that start with breakfast at 6 a.m., Friday morning and don’t stop until long after dark.

There are parades, western art shows, pow wows, the Muzzleloader Encampment, the Carry Nation and the Speakeasy brass and grass band, the Ranch Rodeo, nighttime historical reenactments, Stockade Museum activities, the Cowboy Trappings and Trade Show, a carnival, food and home-based business vendors, arts and crafts show, Indian village and much, much more. Watch for skydiver Nix White at a few of the events. All the festivities are located throughout Medicine Lodge.

The highlight of the weekend is the three reenactments of the Peace Treaty Pageant Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Friday the show is from 1-3 p.m.; on Saturday and Sunday it’s from 2-4 p.m.

The Peace Treaty Pageant commemorates the great peace council of 1867 between the U.S. government and the proud civilization of the Plains Indians.

Children and adults attending the pageant will see history come to life from the days when white men and the Plains Indians clashed.

The reenactment is set against the panoramic backdrop of the timeless Gypsum Hills and the Kansas sky in a natural amphitheater near the actual

Pictured here is a Peace Treaty Pageant reenactment in the early 2000s. Photo by Yvonne Miller site of the council where the Medicine River and Elm Creek flow together.

The show takes the audience from the early Spanish conquistadors to the day peace pipes are lit and pioneers cross the river.

In October of 1867, the Kiowa, Comanche, Arapaho, Apache and Cheyenne Indians signed peace treaties with the U.S. federal government.

Some 15,000 Native Americans camped nearby during the council, including some of the most famous chiefs, including Satanta, Little Raven and Black Kettle.

Five hundred soldiers escorted the U.S. commissioners. The entire ordeal received such interest that even Eastern newspapers sent correspondents.

Although immediate peace did not come from the treaties, they made possible the building of the railroads and eventual settlement by the pioneers.

Community-Wide Involvement Nearly everyone in Medicine Lodge helps to pull off an event of this magnitude. Kaye Kuhn is

executive director and said the pageant weekend held every three or five years (it varies) brings families and friends home to help and have fun with the festivities. Reportedly, nearly 700 people contribute to make the reenactment successful. The Peace Treaty is a generational experience for families. Often, children take over the roles their parents and grandparents portrayed.

Kuhn listed the Peace Treaty Board officers: Rick Swayden, president; Kevin Noland, vice president; Betty Swayden, secretary; Ronda Noland, treasurer; and members Norm Clouse and Cathy Colborn, who is pageant director. Past President Sara Whelan continues to be active. Kuhn said there is a long list of volunteers who are in charge of specific categories.

This group met monthly for the past two years to plan this huge, traditional weekend that is not only fun, but keeps the history and culture of this piece of the Kansas prairie alive.

Get tips at: ready.gov/kit #NatlPrep

#NatlPrep POWER OUTAGES The biggest Power Outage in U.S. history occurred on August 14, 2003, leaving roughly 50 million people without power. Power outages, or blackouts, can happen anywhere, and to anyone, so being prepared is important.

BEFORE A POWER OUTAGE To prepare for a power outage you should do the following: •To begin preparing, you should build an emergency kit and make a family communications plan.

•Be aware that most medication that requires refrigeration can be kept in a closed refrigerator for several hours without a problem. If unsure, check with your physician or pharmacist.

•Know where the manual release lever of your electric garage door opener is located and how to operate it. Garage doors can be heavy, so know that you may need help to lift it.

DURING A POWER OUTAGE •Use only ashlights for emergency lighting. NEVER use candles during a power outage or power outage due to extreme risk of re.

•Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to keep your food as fresh as possible. If you must eat food that was refrigerated or frozen, check it carefully for signs of spoilage.

•Turn off or disconnect appliances, equipment (like air conditioners) or electronics in use when the power went out.

•Power may return with momentary "surges” or “spikes” that can damage computers as well as motors in appliances like the air conditioner, refrigerator, washer or furnace.

•Do not call 9-1-1 for information—call only to report a life-threatening emergency.

Use the phone for life-threatening emergencies only.

•Take steps to remain cool if it is hot outside. In intense heat when the power may be off for a long time, consider going to a movie theater, shopping mall or “cooling shelter” that may be open in your community. If you remain at home, move to the lowest level of your home, since cool air falls. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.

Drink plenty of water, even if you do not feel thirsty.

•Put on layers of warm clothing if it is cold outside. Never burn charcoal for heating or cooking indoors. Never use your oven as a source of heat. If the power may be out for a prolonged period, plan to go to another location (the home of a relative or friend, or a public facility) that has heat to keep warm.

USING A GENERATOR •Get advice from a licensed professional, such as an electrician if you are considering obtaining a generator. Make sure the generator is listed with Underwriter's Laboratories or a similar organization. Some municipalities, Air Quality Districts, or states have "air quality permit" requirements. A licensed electrician will be able to give you more information on these matters.

•Plan to always keep the generator outdoors—never operate it inside, including in the basement or garage. Do not hook up a generator directly to your home's wiring. The safest thing to do is to connect the equipment you want to run directly to the outlets on the generator.

KDH board says ‘no’ to commissioners about assuming EMTs’ health insurance

By Yvonne Miller The Kiowa District Hospital (KDH) met for its regular September meeting last Thursday night with all members present: President Pat Myers, Chantae Simpson, Brenna May, Jim Parker and Jeff Miller.

KDH CEO Margaret Grismer also sat at the board table. Other hospital personnel in attendance were CFO Janell Goodno, Director of Nursing (DON) Heidi Courson, Manor Administrator Kim Balding and Physician Assistant Melissa Stroh. EMTs Greg Simpson and Karen Lambert attended but did not address the board. Other members of the public attending were Lois Allenbach and Patty McNamar.

Mike Loreg, a registered nurse from Attica, is director of the South Barber County Ambulance Service. The KDH board invited him to the meeting. He arrived midway through the meeting, whereupon the board discussed with him the Barber County commissioners’ proposal that KDH take on paying the EMTs’ health insurance. The county currently pays EMTs’ health care insurance at 90 percent as they do for fulltime county employees. The Newsgram reported last week about the special meeting between the KDH board and the county commissioners when the county asked the hospital to pay for the EMTs’ health care insurance.

Myers told Loreg, “We’re asking for your input.” Loreg declined to advise the KDH board what they should do. If the hospital took on the insurance, it appears they would have responsibility for the ambulance service and need to hire a fulltime director. Myers basically asked if Loreg would be that director if KDH took

on the ambulance service.

Loreg confirmed that in his current position he now gets full family insurance benefits, a vehicle, KPERS, etc., and indicated he didn’t suspect KDH could provide that. Therefore, board members took it that if KDH assumed the ambulance service, he would not be the director. Loreg said as an RN he can go 13 miles from home and have a good job.

However, Loreg told the board he did not want to leave Kiowa. Speaking of the EMTs in South Barber County, Loreg described them as “dedicated” and said, “They will bend over backwards for you.” He said some of those EMTs are concerned about their health insurance as the county plans to stop paying for it as of Jan. 1, 2016. There are about 14 EMTs and seven are on the county insurance.

Loreg said where the ambulance service is housed is very important. He dispelled any rumors that Kiowa would no longer have ambulances in town. He explained that Medicine Lodge ambulance service is through their hospital and most of their EMTs are hospital employees.

“The majority of our staff are not employees of the hospital,” Loreg said of the South Barber Ambulance Service. He said that the volume of ambulance calls in Medicine Lodge “is double” that of Kiowa. “The location of the ambulance is a factor,” he said. When you physically look at the numbers, Loreg said there is not enough money to support an ambulance service. If the hospital takes it on, it’s never in the black based on call volume.

Loreg said on-call hours are constant with his EMTs. “Even Medicine Lodge is not making a profit,” Loreg said.

At the meeting reported from last week CFO Goodno estimated KDH would lose a minimum of $132,000 annually if they took on paying the EMT’s health insurance. The commissioners said they would reimburse some of that loss annually (an agreed upon figure). However, KDH board members are concerned that could change as different commissioners serve on that county board.

President Myers said, “We don’t want to take this on, but we don’t want to lose what we have.” CEO Grismer said, “I have no interest in being an ambulance director.”

Grismer reminded that KDH is grandfathered in to providing insurance to their employees, paying 50 percent of their premiums. However, as of October 2016, KDH (and all employers) will have to pay more like 80 percent of their premiums due to requirements of the Affordable Care Act (also known as “Obamacare”). Employers must make their insurance more “affordable” for employees than what they can get through the “marketplace” offered under Obamacare. If not, the employer will be penalized a “pay or play” fee, which would be around $3,120 per employee.

When Chantae Simpson asked how many EMTs it takes to run the south Barber County service, Loreg said it takes a minimum of six people a day. If you only had six EMTs, they would be on call almost all the time with no break. The ambulance service is on call 24 hours per day for 360 days per year.

There was talk of EMS training and much more. Loreg said, “There are lots of things you folks need to consider.”

After listening to the lengthy discussion, President Myers said, “I think we are opening ourselves to lots of headache. I think Barber County (the commissioners) will continue to have an ambulance service. My two cents is let’s leave this alone.”

Board member Miller said, “We don’t want it.”

The board voted unanimously to tell the commissioners they will not take on paying for the EMTs’ insurance.

The remaining business from the KDH board September meeting will run next week in the Newsgram.

MARY LOU MURROW Mary Louise Murrow was born on July 15, 1939, in Alva, Oklahoma, to Frank and Ruth (Jones) Davison, the only girl of six children to bless the Davison home, located 17 miles west and one-half mile north of Alva.

Mary Lou passed away at St. Francis Hospital in Wichita on September 17, 2015, at the age of 76.

Mary Lou graduated from Farry School, a country school about 30 miles west of Alva, in 1957. She continued on with her education by attending Northwestern Oklahoma

State University (NWOSU) in Alva where she received her bachelor’s degree in education.

On July 3, 1959, Mary Lou married the ‘love of her life,’ Cecil Max Murrow. They started their life together in a small apartment in Alva while Mary Lou was finishing her education at NWOSU. During her last year of college, their union was blessed with the birth of a daughter, Linda Louise.

After graduating college in 1961, Mary Lou started her first teaching job at the Bluff City High School in Bluff City, Kansas, where she continued to teach until the school closed. She taught accounting, typing and many life lessons to her students. It was during the early years in Bluff that Mary Lou and Max were blessed again with the birth of a son, Lloyd Max. Following a one-year teaching assignment in Harper, Kansas, Mary Lou became the bookkeeper for the grain elevator in Bluff City. Working alongside her husband Max, she was known for her knowledge of the business and also was known to be a good friend to all.

Mary Lou was very devoted to the Bluff City United Methodist Church.

Her passion to keep the church going was evident even to the last few days of her life, as she was published in the local papers in hopes of getting any help possible from the community.

Mary Lou was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Ruth Davison, and three brothers, Raymon Eugene, Owen Franklin and Garol Dean.

Mary Lou will be deeply missed by her loving husband of 56 years, Max; daughter Linda Seipel and husband Ken of Overland Park, Kansas; son Lloyd

Murrow and wife Victoria of Arlington, Texas; brothers Robert Davison and Jim Davison, both of Alva, Oklahoma; grandchildren Matt Seipel and wife Courtney of Aurora, Illinois; Jason Seipel and wife Brianna of Spring Hill, Kansas; Brittany Carlock and fiancé Jacob Owens of Arlington, Texas; and Travis Seipel and fiancée Susannah Kiener of Overland Park, Kansas; five great-grandchildren, Davison, Parker Jo, Avery Louise, Kingston and Hudson; many nieces and nephews; other family and friends.

A funeral service was held 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, September 22, 2015, at Prairie Rose Funeral Home in Anthony, Kansas, with Pastor Karen Miller officiating. Susannah Kiener sang “In The Garden” and “How Great Thou Art.” Graveside service followed at Spring Grove Cemetery in Anthony, with Matt Seipel, Jason Seipel, Travis Seipel, Darrin Struble, Ron Davison, and Roger Davison serving as casket bearers.

Memorials may be given in Mary Lou’s name to the Bluff City United Methodist Church and may be sent in care of the funeral home.

Prairie Rose Funeral Homes, 602 E. Main St., Anthony, KS 67003, was in charge of arrangements. www. prairierosefuneralhomes.com.

TOM S. SMITH HARDTNER, Kansas – Graveside service for Tom S. Smith, 93, will be Friday, September 25, 2015, at 10:30 a.m. at Hardtner-Elwood Cemetery in Hardtner, with arrangements by Lanman Funeral Home Inc. of Kiowa.

Viewing will be Thursday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. at the funeral home. Online condolences may be made at www. lanmanmemorials.com.

Tom was born in Piedmont, Missouri, to Orin L. Smith and Martha C. Couch Smith, and passed from this life in Alva, Oklahoma, on September 20, 2015. Tom served in the U.S. Navy and was a blacksmith by profession.

Tom is survived by his daughter, Suzanne Mahan of Medford, Oklahoma; grandchildren, Tina and Tim Calcote, Toby Mahan and Bill and April Mahan; eight great-grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren.
