A legacy made of Steele
Faye and Bob Steele donated the contents of their home to the Presbyterian Village Good Samaritan program.
By Ginger Nance, Executive Director
If you are from the Fort Scott area, you probably knew Bob and Faye Steele.
Bob and Faye were both from Christian families who were each raised to “do the right thing” and to think through their actions before carefully making decisions. They each waited until later in life to marry, and once they made that commitment they honored each other in everything they did, even to the point of dressing alike each day. Bob and Faye both worked for the Western Insurance company in Fort Scott and retired after many years of employment.
Bob told me when he moved to Presbyterian Village that although he was happy to call Presbyterian Village their home, it was a temporary home. He knew they would be eventually called to their eternal home with God, and he wanted to give Faye the best in the last years of their lives together.

Assisted living offers alternative to in-house rehabilitation When Mercy Hospital stopped offering in-house rehabilitation services for patients after an illness or injury, many area residents were left not knowing where to turn for this resource. But we have a solution that may be just what you or a loved one are looking for.
“People now have limited options for therapy in the Fort Scott area, and they sometimes think their only option is to go to the nursing home for a skilled therapy stay. Although that can be a good option for some, it’s not a good answer for

everyone,� said Ginger Nance, executive director of Fort Scott Presbyterian Village. “Presbyterian Village can offer another option for therapy in a much less restrictive environment, in a private apartment with a home-like feeling.�
Through a partnership with Mercy Hospital, they can send physical and/or occupational therapists to the campus to help people get stronger after a hospital stay or other health problem. In addition, Presbyterian Village engages in supportive therapy programs by using in-house equipment, or they can be transported to Health for

Life, a fitness center at Mercy Hospital.
“The main idea we want to stress is that there are other options for strengthening and supportive rehabilitation besides within the nursing home setting. Presbyterian Village can offer a short-term stay for those folks who need a little extra support until they are able to return to their own home,� said Ginger.

One of the qualities I remember most about Bob and Faye is that they loved each other unconditionally, and they were always very careful to make decisions that had lifelong benefits. They carefully considered what should happen with their estate when they passed, and they were very detailed in their plans. Bob also wanted to be sure that they could continue their legacy by helping others.
With this in mind, they graciously donated the contents of their farm home to Presbyterian Village to be auctioned. They designated the proceeds for our Good Samaritan program, which helps Village residents pay for their care if they should outlive their resources through no fault of their own.
We held the auction at the Bob and Faye Steele farm on August 13. The auction brought in more than $5,000. Every dollar will remain here in Fort Scott and directly help others in need at the Presbyterian Village.
We can’t thank the Steeles and their attorney, Larry Nuss, enough for thinking of us in their future plans and for wanting to extend their love to others by giving to our Good Samaritan program.
Often people don’t think they have a great deal of money to leave that can help others, yet they may have a home, contents of a home, a vehicle, stocks, bonds and many other items that can be donated and used in a way that can continue their legacy long after they are gone. If you would like to know more about giving or how you might consider the Village in your estate plans, please contact Ginger Nance at the Fort Scott Presbyterian Village at 620-223-5550 or Sarah Oenning at 1-800-336-8511, ext 1222.
New stylist added to Mane Room Hair Salon By Ginger Nance, Executive Director
We are pleased to announce the addition of stylist Latonyia Hoy to The Mane Room beauty salon located inside the Presbyterian Village. Latonyia was born and raised in Fort Scott and has owned and operated a successful local salon for 21 years. After 17 years in her previous location, she was open to downsizing her workspace when the opportunity came along to join stylist Peggy Wunderly at the Mane Room. Latonyia is excited to meet new friends and work alongside Peggy. Latonyia has a passion for spending time with people, and she says that is what she loves most about her career. “I view my clients as members of my extended family. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my clients.” She has had a passion for cosmetology for as long as she can remember – in fact, she began cutting her cousins’ hair when she was just 11 years old.
Latonyia likes to remain current in techniques and trends and has spent many hours furthering her education. After traveling to the Helix Hair Academy in Sevierville, Tenn., she is the only stylist in the state of Kansas to offer the Helix Haircut, a specialty cutting treatment that provides body, curl,

and volume without the use of chemicals. Latonyia also offers a full range of nail services, including manicures, pedicures and acrylic nails, and specializes in multidimensional hair color services. When Latonyia is not in the salon, she enjoys spending time with her family, her grown sons Nick and
Austin Duvall, and her grandson Gauge. She also enjoys cooking, going to flea markets, traveling and decorating in her shabby-chic, vintage style.
