Della "Maxine" (Ray) Davis, age 81, of Coffeyville, Kansas, peacefully passed away at Medicalodges on Midland on May 22, 2025 surrounded by her family.

Maxine was born on November 28, 1943, in Coffeyville, Kansas, to Ivan M. and Suzie Della (Puckett) Ray. She attended Coffeyville Schools throughout her formative years and completed her education at Field Kindley Memorial High School.

Her career began at Lee's Manufacturing in Cherryvale, Kansas, where she would meet Robert "Bob" Davis, the love of her life. They were united in marriage on March 11, 1967, at the First Assembly of God Church. Together, they created a loving home in Coffeyville, where they raised their two children, Jerry and LaDonna. After Bob’s passing on November 2, 1993, Maxine continued to reside in their family home.

In addition to her role at Lee's Manufacturing, Maxine dedicated 25 years as a cook creating delicious yet nutritious meals for patiences at CRMC, where she later retired. She was proud to be part of a special project that resulted in a beautiful department quilt displayed in the main entry hall of CRMC, contributing a block for the dietary section and addition the finishing touches to the quilt alongside Bob.

Maxine was an exceptional cook who took great joy in sharing her culinary knowledge with her children and grandchildren. Her love for gardening was evident in her collection of over 50 African Violet plants that brightened her home, and she frequently shared new starts with her loved ones. She also enjoyed growing a garden and preserving her harvest through canning.

A devoted volunteer, Maxine spent several years assisting in the Age-to-Age Kindergarten Classroom alongside her dear friend, Edna Mae Chittum. Even after becoming a resident of Medicalodges due to mobility challenges, she continued to participate in classroom activities until two weeks prior to her passing. While still at home Maxine and Edna Mae took to the streets to get their steps in, they cherished their daily walks around the block, where they remained active despite their mobility aids.

Maxine was a loyal member of First Assembly of God during her family years and faithfully attended Coffeyville First Nazarene Church for the past 25 years, serving in various capacities with a true servant's heart.

Described as a gentle, Christ-loving woman, Maxine had an incredible ability to warm a room with her presence and welcoming smile. Maxine was also a bit ornery, quick witted and determined.   She was a loving wife, devoted mother, and passionate grandmother who deeply cherished her grandchildren. Family gatherings held a special place in her heart, often accompanied by the endearing tradition of forgetting the Brussels sprouts in the microwave until after the meal.

Maxine is survived by her children, Jerry Davis and wife Judith, and LaDonna Foreman and husband Harley, who will always remember her affectionately. Her grandchildren, Harley Birmingham, Kate (Foreman) Smith and husband Derek, Nate Davis, and Shawn Davis adored her dearly. She is also survived by her brother Joe Ray and wife Sharon, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and friends, as well as her beloved four-legged companion, Tipper. Maxine was preceded in death by her parents, husband Bob, brothers Ivan Ray Jr. and Paul Ray, and sister Doris Findley.  Maxine will be laid to rest at Restlawn Memorial Park Cemetery, next to her husband Bob.

Dee Lloyd Roberts, age 87 passed away with his family by his side in Coffeyville, Kansas.

September 24, 1937 marked the day that Dee entered this world in Los Angles, California. He was the first of 3 children born to Floyd O. and Geneva B. (Phipps) Roberts. When Dee was in the first grade, his family moved to Coffeyville, where his father found work at the Continental Can Company to be closer to relatives.  He attended Clear Creek Country school until the 8th Grade when he came into town to attend junior high at Roosevelt Middle School. There, he met a young girl named Judith Toney, igniting a courtship that flourished into a loving marriage lasting 68 years.

During Dee's junior high and high school years he was active in football and track. In high school, he was an All-County halfback his senior year and threw the javelin for the track team. He was elected co-captain for both teams as a senior. In addition to his general studies, he was enrolled in drafting and as many auto shop classes that the trade school offered. Dee was an accelerated student in auto repair and spent his summers working at the Dearing Auto Garage honing his skills and doing what he loved, working on cars.

On November 5, 1956 he married Judith "Judy" Rae Toney in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The two made their home in Coffeyville and at the age of 19 he began working at Sinclair Pipe Line Company (later to become Arco) in Independence, Kansas in the pipe accounting group, later moving to draftsman and ending his career as the Drafting Supervisor. Dee didn't end his career in auto repair as he was a shade tree mechanic working on cars for friends, rebuilding lawn mowers and fixing anything mechanical. There was always a car in the garage on the weekends that he was fixing for a friend. Those who would stop by always knew if he was in the garage working because they could hear news from the radio blaring. It was after 37 years of dedication at Arco he retired in 1994.

Dee loved his family and treasured spending time with them, when the boys were young, he coached their football / baseball teams and taught them how to shoot and hunt. He was a longtime member and past president of the Independence Gun Club where he was an avid trap and skeet shooter. He used his shooting skills to hunt doves, quail, waterfowl, deer, and antelope. He also enjoyed taking a ride on his motorcycle.

In retirement, Dee found joy in restoring his beloved 1953 Chevy pickup, the second owner of which he was, maintaining its original wood bed. This truck, along with his 2006 Chevy GTO, became prized possessions that he showcased in numerous car shows. Friends and family recognized him as a steadfast GM enthusiast, and every vehicle he owned was meticulously cared for and was an item friends got in line to purchase when he was ready to sell.

Dee leaves behind his wife Judy of the home, daughter Tonya (Bob) Kriebel, their children Chelsey (Ryan) Schlotfelt, Lacey Kriebel and Wade Kriebel, son Tim (Marci) their children Lindsey (Luke) Logan, Jordan (Austen) Malone and Lauren Roberts and son Tod (Margaret) their children Ben, Charlie and Anna Roberts.

Hazel V. Pullins (McCarty) peacefully went to be with her Lord on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at her home in Coffeyville, Kansas.

“Sug’, can I make you something to eat… or would you like a Pepsi?” A phrase that will forever echo in our hearts. Whether it was a morning trip to Goldie’s for donuts or a couple strips of bacon and a pancake, or your favorite pie. If Hazel was around, you were going to be fed—and you were going to feel cared for.

Known to most as Hazel, but to those closest to her, she was Momma, Gma, “Gma Pepsi,” or “Tiny Gma”—titles she treasured far more than her given name. She stood just over four feet tall, but her heart was the size of Texas. To us, she was the embodiment of love, selflessness, and quiet strength. She carried a servant’s heart and often worried about being a burden, though she never was. Small in stature, yet she leaves behind a space that no one else could ever fill.

She preferred to stay behind the scenes, never seeking the spotlight or asking for attention. Her joy was in taking care of others, and her top priority was always making sure no one around her ever went hungry. And oh, could she cook! For those who knew and loved her, just seeing her was the highlight of any day.

Hazel was no socialite—far from it. While Red might have enjoyed the company of many, Hazel preferred the peacefulness of Copan or Hulah Lake, casting a line from the boat or a quiet farm pond, patiently waiting for Crappie. Next to time with her family, those were her happiest moments. And it didn’t matter if you were related by blood or name—if you stepped into her home, you were treated like family. Most importantly, you knew you were loved.

As a lifelong homemaker, Hazel was the glue that held her family together. In her later years, her greatest joy came from time spent with her grandbabies, spanning multiple generations. As she liked to say with a grin, “They’re not spoiled, they just smell that way!” And spoiled they were. We wouldn’t have had it any other way—though it did often require a sugar detox on the ride home or the slip of a four-letter word with that infamous Tiny Gma “tone” usually followed by a sheepish “Whoops,” and a shoulder shrug from her.

Hazel was born on October 10, 1932, in Moline, Kansas, to Thomas and LaVada McCarty, as one of six children. The family moved to Coffeyville when Hazel was young, where she grew up living a simple, meaningful life. She married Ted Graham in Coffeyville and was blessed with a son, Eddie. After they divorced, she later married Harold “Red” Pullins on December 6, 1955. The early years of their marriage were spent in Arizona and California as they built their family. Eventually, they returned to Coffeyville, where Red ran a successful construction company and Hazel lovingly cared for the home and their children.

Hazel is survived by her son Harold “Pepper”Jr. (Tami) Pullins of Ponca City, OK; daughter Debi (Rowel) Goodwin of South Coffeyville, OK; daughter Becky Dill of Prescott, AZ. Stepdaughter Janette Egermeier of Coffeyville, KS. Hazel leaves behind 10 grandchildren and many more great-grandchildren who will all carry her memory in their hearts.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and LaVada McCarty; her five siblings; her husband, Harold “Red” Pullins; two sons, Eddie and Tommy Pullins; her granddaughter Mona Miller; great-granddaughter Wren Goodwin; and great-grandson Jackson Miller.

Funeral Services for Hazel will be held at 1pm on Wednesday May 14th, 2025, at Dearing Christian Church. Graveside to follow at Robbin’s Cemetery, Dearing, KS.

Online condolences can be left at www.dwbfh.com

David W. Barnes Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Lucille Frances Christmore, age 98, a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, transitioned to her eternal resting place on May 7, 2025, while surrounded in the love of her family.

Born on August 4, 1926, to Andrew Paul and Bessie (McCullam) Adamson in the serene setting of rural Cherryvale, Kansas, Lucille’s journey through life was marked by dedication, warmth, and an unwavering spirit. She attended grade school in Montgomery County and graduated from Parsons High School in 1945. During her high school years, she worked at Stewart's Pharmacy in Parsons, where she met her beloved husband, Bill, destined to be her lifelong partner. The couple united in marriage on June 18, 1945, in Cherryvale, Kansas, and made their home in Coffeyville, Kansas. In 1960 Bill started selling used cars as a side business and together, they began a lifelong business venture, establishing Christmore's Used Cars in 1964 on 8th Street, a cherished endeavor that continued until their retirement in February 2015.

Lucille found her greatest treasures in her three children—Gail, Joyce, and Danny—who surrounded her with love and joy throughout her life. In her later years, she relished daily moments with them, whether watching game shows, engaging in spirited games of Uno, or sharing cherished memories that echoed the laughter and warmth of family gatherings.

A devoted member of the Grace Fellowship Church, Lucille later transferred her membership to the First Southern Baptist Church on August 25, 2013. Her faith in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was central to her life, a sentiment she shared with Bill. For Lucille, attending church on Sundays remained a cherished priority, steadfast even in her later years.

Throughout her vibrant life, Lucille was actively engaged in various community and church activities. She was a proud member of TOPS and the CRMC Auxiliary, served as a Sunday school teacher, and volunteered for Vacation Bible School. An avid NASCAR fan not only watching the races on TV she attended The Daytona 500 alongside Bill for 22 years holding the same seat for years. She also participated in a local rummy club, teaching this beloved card game to her great-grandchildren and fostering valuable connections with other young mothers. Lucille took immense joy in attending the events of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, cheering them on during ballgames and dance competitions.

Her passion for baking was evident as she lovingly prepared cakes, cookies, pies, and desserts for numerous community gatherings, notably contributing twice daily throughout an entire month during the flood of 2007. Lucille had a remarkable way of making others feel special, by sending heartfelt cards to convey her thoughts and love. Each Christmas, she transformed ordinary card boxes into beautifully adorned and lined candy boxes, filling them with an array of perfected confections. These delightful creations were not merely sweets; they were gifts of love and care, graciously shared with family and friends. These simple gifts created cherished memories that will linger in the hearts of all who had the pleasure of receiving such heartfelt gifts.

Together, Bill and Lucille instilled the vital lessons of faith, hard work, compassion, and genuine love for others in their children. Beloved for her radiant smile and timeless words of wisdom, Lucille and Bill celebrated their 71st wedding anniversary before his passing in 2016.

Lucille leaves behind her daughters, Gail Stevens and Joyce Ehmke, and son, Danny Christmore—each residing in Coffeyville, Kansas. Her legacy also includes her grandchildren: Michelle Harrison and her husband John, Richard Ehmke and his wife Shanna, Melissa White, Glenn Ehmke and his wife Kelly, Charlie Ehmke and his wife Amanda, Nichole Christmore and Raul Marquez, and Paul Christmore, along with son-in-law Jim White.

Jean Marie Berg, age 87, of Edna, Kansas passed away peacefully on Friday, May 2, 2025, at CRMC in Coffeyville, Kansas.

Jean was born on January 22, 1938, in Nevada, Missouri to Wilbur and (Johanna) Deschmidt) Hart.  She grew up in Parsons, Kansas where she attended local schools. 

On May 25, 1985, she was united in marriage to Jeffery “Jeff” Berg in Austin, Texas. They lived in Austin until 1992 when they moved to Edna, Kansas.  After getting settled in, Jean and Jeff opened Two J’s Café.  For 24 years, the cafe served as a local favorite for many.  Due to Jeff’s health, they closed the café in 2016.  Jeff preceded her in death on July 14, 2016. 

Jean, a woman of many words and countless opinions, was never one to hold back. She believed in calling a spade a spade, and if you didn't like it, oh well.  But those who knew her well knew that beneath her feistiness was a heart that was as big as her personality. She was a voracious reader and a regular at the Edna Library, a lover of red birds, and tending to her yard.  Jean attended Holy Name Catholic Church in Coffeyville, Kansas. 

Surviving to cherish her memory are her children, Carla Headlee of Pennsylvania, Stephanie (Carlos) Romero of Edna, Kansas, James “JC” (Amy) Day of Texas; grandchildren, Jennifer (JR) Scott, Sarah Rosson (Brandon Lee), Charles (Chandler) Romero, Lucy (Cal) Aberle, Steven (Mykah) Day, Jack Day, Sean (Richie) Hoover-Zamora; great-grandchildren, Joey, Jacob and James Scott, Brooklyn Rosson, Braden, Jalen, Bryson and Jordyn Lee, Paizley Marshall, Sterling Fox, Ryan Romero, Finley and Strander Aberle, Kai Hoover-Zamora; one great-great grandson, Joey Scott, Jr.; sister, Bernadine Kuffler of Parsons, Kansas; special friend and neighbor, Darlene Vargas along with numerous extended family members and close friends.  Jean was preceded in death by her parents, Wilbur and Johanna Hart; husband, Jeff Berg; son, Michael Hoover; son-in-law, Steve Headlee; brother-in-law, Edward Kuffler. 

Following Jean’s wishes, cremation has taken place under the direction of David W. Barnes Funeral Home in Coffeyville, Kansas.  No public services are scheduled at this time.
