Leonard Howard, age 86 passed surrounded by family at The Journey Home in Bartlesville, Oklahoma on Wednesday, November 8, 2023.

Leonard is one of six children born to Ansel and Ethena (Holeman) Howard in rural Coffeyville in the family home on January 27, 1937. Leonard grew up exploring the countryside and attended school in Coffeyville where he completed his education. On his 19th birthday he enlisted in the US Air Force where he served 4 years and 3 months before receiving his honorable discharge.

Upon returning home he pursued being an entrepreneur, building and opening Lenn's Drive In at 1411 W. 8th Street in Coffeyville and later relocating at 1103 W. 11th until closing in 1975.  Many blessings came from owning Lenn's Drive In, but the biggest blessing was working side by side with his wife, Carolyn.  The couple were married on August 2, 1965, and shared 51 years of marriage together and raised four children.  Carolyn passed exactly seven years prior to Leonard on November 8, 2016.

After closing Lenn's Drive In, Leonard pursued a course of study in Industrial Electronics from SEK Vo-Tec while working at Jensen International from 1987 to 1992. He managed all this along with purchasing homes for property management and opening Howard Video Games, leasing out arcade gaming machines of all the popular games of the 1980's. If that was not enough, he also completed heating and refrigeration courses to become certified in Heat and Air installation and repair. He then opened the fourth business, Howard's Heat and Refrigeration. He was very handy in building and designing mechanical operating devices.  Such as the design and engineering of a towering unicycle and motorized bicycle with a unique motor component. His mechanical and building skills allowed him to make most repairs to the homes he owned and to the arcade games. He also enjoyed leather tooling and making wallets. His daughter Wendy remembers thinking when she was younger that all dads could fix anything.  As an adult she realized just how lucky they all were that their dad was so talented.  He was a jack of all trades.

As a young boy Leonard attended church at the First Assembly of Coffeyville where he alongside his family and others worked on the construction of the new building. He recently shared the story that his job was to bolt the chairs to the floor in the sanctuary.

Leonard was a giving man, he showed love and grace to many people beyond his family that he treasured and loved deeply.  He was generous to a fault.

In addition to his God gifted talents and interest, Leonard loved a good game of chess. He was the president of the Coffeyville Chess club and enjoying good competition against fellow players. His son Vincent never lost to his dad, primarily because he won the only game, he ever played against him. Vincent wanted to maintain his bragging rights.

Leonard's greatest passion was spending quality time with his family; he cherished his wife Carolyn up to death did them part.  The love for his children Vincent Howard, Preston Howard, Debra Axon and Wendy and her husband Emmet Riley was immeasurable; grandchildren he adored Sherri Riley, Courtney Riley, Erica Beck, Meghan Riley, MaeJaun Sutton, Kodi Howard, Katie Axon, Christine Axon and Kari Sinclair; his great grandchildren were very dear to him, Allison Gailey, Katy Risley, Stella Riley and Mason Beck; his loving sister, Margaret Higgins and brothers-in-law Robert Crites and John Dake who he loved and respected and a host of nieces, nephews and extended family members.

Mary Jean “Jeanne” Walterscheid, 87, died November 7, 2023, at Medicalodge Midland.

She was born on November 25, 1935, in Coffeyville, Kan., the second daughter of Geraldine (Thornbrugh) and L.P. James “Jim” Walterscheid.

Jeanne was known in her childhood neighborhood as quite the “handy girl,” helping neighbors with various household projects, repairs, and lawn/garden projects.

She was a lifetime member of Holy Name Catholic Church, Coffeyville, involved with various activities including the church Altar Society.

Jeanne graduated from Holy Name Catholic School in 1949, Roosevelt Junior High in 1950, and Field Kindley High School in 1953, where she was a member of the band, honor society, and Girls Drum and Bugle Corps (tenor drum). She journeyed to Lawrence, Kan., and graduated in 1957 from the University of Kansas with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education. She was a member of the Delta Delta Delta Sorority. In 1971, she graduated with a Master of Science in Physical Education from the Kansas State College of Pittsburg (Pittsburg State Univ.) Her teaching career included Topeka and Salina, Kan., where she taught Physical Education at both local high schools.

In the 1970s, Jeanne returned to Coffeyville and began employment at her family’s business, Isham TruValue Hardware, where she shared her knowledge of tools, plumbing, paint, nuts, bolts, pipe, pipe fittings, household goods, and lawn/garden equipment. She enjoyed serving customers, and the challenge of providing solutions to their needs. Knowing problems happen when least expected, Jeanne was quick to answer the phone after hours with an ever-faithful reply, “Meet me at Isham’s in 10 minutes, and let’s see what I can do to help.” Jeanne worked at Isham’s for 50+ years.

Jeanne and her two sisters, Jane Ellen “Dinger” Catone, and Jerry Ann Liebert, acquired partial ownership of Isham TruValue Hardware Store (the oldest hardware store west of the Mississippi River and the oldest retail business in Coffeyville since 1870) through their deceased father’s estate. The three sisters obtained full ownership in 1995. Jeanne was an integral part of the business and served as President until the time of her death. Isham’s was truly the love of her life.

Her hobbies included: reading, tennis, badminton, bird watching, and horseback riding. Her horse, Mickey, was kept in the field known today as Candy Cane Lane just a few blocks from the Walterscheid family home, and where she eventually took residence.

Jeanne’s nephew, nieces, and great nephews and nieces describe her as, “The Fun Aunt.” She loved them as her own, and they affectionately gave her the name, “Aunt Neenie.” She took them on many fun outings such as bird watching, fishing, shooting BB guns, bicycling, ice cream trips in her truck, Honda moped rides, and taught them how to use all sorts of tools and gadgets. She even taught them many mischievous habits such as stealing spoonfuls of chocolate chip cookie dough from the refrigerator.

Another claim to fame is naming her little sister, “Dinger.” When Jeanne was a little girl, she took her new baby sister on a stroller ride through the neighborhood. She approached the postman and said, “Look at my new baby sister!” and he replied, “Well…that’s a humdinger!” When they returned home, Jeanne pointed to her new baby sister and said to her parents, “This is a dinger!” And that is how Jane Ellen (Walterscheid) Catone became known as “Dinger.”

Jeanne was preceded in death by her parents, grandmother Alice Thornbrugh (who lived with the family), sister Geraldine “Jerry” Ann Liebert, and brother-in laws Albert C. Liebert and John Catone.

Survivors include: sister Jane Ellen “Dinger” Catone, Coffeyville, niece Ann Marie (Tim) Vannoster, Coffeyville, nephew James Anthony “Jim” (Carrie) Catone, North Huntington, Pen., niece Caroline (Brad) Law, Lenexa, Kan., niece Mary Liebert (Les Pritt), Bixby, Okla, niece Carol Ann (Chris) Oneslager, Colwich, Kan., niece Jane Ellen Liebert, Lansing, Kan., cousin Tom Franken, Coffeyville, and cousin Pete (Nancy) Walterscheid, Coffeyville. Also surviving are 11 great nieces and nephews: Kari (Jameson) Vannoster-Price, Maria Catone, Olivia Oneslager, Katie Vannoster, Sophia Oneslager, Alayna Law, Johnny Catone, A.J. Franklin, Will Franklin, Megan Law, and Jack Franklin. She leaves behind her special furry friends Misty and Rocky.

Visitation is Sunday, November 12 at Holy Name Catholic Church, 408 Willow Street, Coffeyville, Kan., 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm with a rosary beginning at 6:00 pm.

Mass of Christian Burial is Monday, November 13 at 10:00 am at Holy Name Catholic Church with Rev. James Schibi as officiant. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery in Coffeyville.

A humble and loving soul, Raymond was a supportive pillar of strength for his family, friends, and everyone who had the good fortune of knowing him. He resided in Coffeyville, Kansas, for seven years, where his presence was a comforting constant.

Raymond was a skilled truck driver in the transportation business, an occupation he served in for five years. He had a deep passion for his work, particularly driving his semi, which was a testament to his dedication and commitment. He was also fond of playing with DJ equipment, a hobby that brought him immense joy and amusement, especially when he shared these moments with his daughter, Chanel. Family gatherings by the pool and traveling were among Raymond’s cherished pastimes, and these memories continue to warm the hearts of his loved ones. In the words of Helen Keller, "What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us."
